Aberdeen’s impressive start to the season has been a standout story, matching Celtic’s perfect record in the Scottish Premiership. With 18 points on the board, they sit just behind Celtic due to goal difference.
Speculation has been rife about Aberdeen’s title chances, with Alan Shearer suggesting they are serious contenders. Manager Jimmy Thelin, however, remains cautious in his response.
Thelin believes it’s too early to talk about a title challenge and is focused on continual improvement. Despite their unbeaten run, Aberdeen have yet to face Celtic or Rangers, with those tests looming on the horizon.
The true test of Aberdeen’s title credentials will come in the next few weeks, with games against Celtic and Rangers. If they can maintain their form through these challenges, the hype surrounding them may prove to be justified. Until then, it remains to be seen if Aberdeen can sustain their impressive start or if reality will set in.
