Club on brink of history yet Celtic chiefs still get it in the neck

CELTIC will go into the Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen on Saturday looking to create a world record.

- 

Their opponents, on the other hand, will be trying to contest the theory they may have sold 20,000 tickets to their fans under false pretences.

The falsehood being that they are in any way capable of living with Brendan Rodgers' side.

Pape Gueye's challenge on Reo Hatate in Wednesday night's dominant display from Celtic at Pittodrie was, in my opinion, that of a pub-team player on a public park.

Aberdeen now need to win the Cup to regain a vestige of respectability or the chances are Jimmy Thelin won't remain as manager for much longer.

The facade has vanished.

The Swede has constructed, if that's the right word, a bang-average team with no particular identity.

When a bona fide club legend like Willie Miller can publicly say he fears for Aberdeen at Hampden then why should anyone disagree?
