Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has challenged Brendan Rodgers’ assertion that Celtic should have emerged victorious from their top of the table showdown. The match was a thrilling encounter, with the Dons fighting back from a two-goal deficit to draw level with the Hoops. Despite Rodgers feeling that his team deserved the win, Miller highlighted a key moment that could have swung the match in Aberdeen’s favor.
In a VAR controversy, Aberdeen defender Slobodan Rubezic had a goal disallowed for handball, denying the Reds a potential victory at Celtic Park. Miller pointed out that this crucial moment seemed to have been overlooked by Rodgers in his post-match comments. He emphasized Aberdeen’s resilience in the face of Celtic’s attacking threat, crediting manager Jimmy Thelin and goalkeeper Mitov for their contributions to the hard-fought draw.
Miller’s analysis underscored the fine margins that can decide matches at the highest level, praising Aberdeen for their performance in making it a closely contested game. The Dons’ icon’s perspective offered a different angle on the match, highlighting the importance of key decisions in shaping the outcome of top-of-the-table clashes.
