Leven recalls famous Cup triumph
Daily Record
|January 16, 2026
PETER LEVEN has won six trophies but helping Aberdeen to land the Scottish Cup tops the lot.
That is why the interim boss is so determined to help the Dons defend their trophy this season.
Leven has tasted success in Belarus and Russia since starting out as a coach but returning the Scottish Cup to the Granite City for the first time in 35 years was the ultimate high.
The 42-year-old said: “I've won six trophies as a coach but last season's Scottish Cup win was the best moment of my career.
“You don't realise how big the club is until that moment happens.
“To have my family there and come back to Pittodrie, then the scenes the next day with all those people - wow, it will live with me until I die.
