Despite the disappointing loss against Celtic in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup, Duk remains optimistic about Aberdeen’s chances moving forward. The Portuguese attacker took to his Instagram story to express his belief that “the war is not over” after the defeat at Hampden. Even though Brendan Rodgers’ side convincingly defeated the Dons with a 6-0 victory, Duk is proud to be a part of the team and grateful for the support from the fans.
The defeat at Hampden came just two weeks after Aberdeen managed an impressive two-goal comeback at Celtic Park, showcasing their resilience and determination to compete with the Scottish Premiership champions. With both teams currently tied on 28 points at the top of the table, Aberdeen has an opportunity to take the lead outright with a win or draw against Dundee in their upcoming match.
Looking ahead, Celtic faces a challenging fixture against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, providing an opportunity for Derek McInnes’ side to potentially capitalize on any slip-ups from the league leaders. Duk’s message on social media reflects the team’s unwavering spirit and determination to bounce back from the defeat and continue fighting for success in the remainder of the season. The battle may have been lost, but the season is far from over for Aberdeen as they strive to achieve their goals and challenge Celtic for the title.
