Aberdeen is gearing up for a face-off with the reigning champions in Glasgow this Saturday. Despite both teams maintaining perfect records, manager Jimmy Thelin remains focused on the present and not getting caught up in talks of a potential title race with Celtic.
The Dons are aiming to extend their impressive winning streak to 14 games as they prepare to take on the Hoops on their home turf, where they have not tasted victory in over five years. Thelin is determined to stay true to the team’s identity and continue their process of improvement, game by game.
Thelin emphasized the importance of staying humble, respecting the opponent, and focusing on their strengths while acknowledging the challenges presented by Celtic. He stressed that it is too early in the season to consider a title race and that Aberdeen’s primary focus is on continuous improvement and sticking to their long-term plan.
The imminent return of Dante Polvara from injury provides a positive boost for the squad, although he is not yet ready to play on Saturday. Thelin expressed his satisfaction with Polvara’s progress and looks forward to integrating him back into the team in the near future.
