Aberdeen Stun Celtic in Scottish Cup Final | Is Celtic's Dominance Harming Scottish Football? | PLZ Soccer
🎙️ Peter Martin, Alan Rough, Alison McConnell, and Tam McManus reflect on a stunning day for the Dons, discuss Celtic’s flat performance, and ask the big question: is Celtic’s ongoing dominance damaging for Scottish football?
🏆 Aberdeen’s win marks their first major trophy in 35 years, and the panel agrees: this is a massive moment not just for the club but for the game in Scotland. Graeme Shinnie, Jimmy Thelin, and the Red Army delivered a tactical masterclass and stunning penalty shootout performance. Could this spark a shift in the Scottish football landscape?
💬 Brendan Rodgers urges Celtic fans to take a “bigger picture” view — but was his team’s complacency exposed? The show analyses his controversial substitutions, Celtic’s lack of cutting edge, and the consequences of failing to replace Kyogo in January.
The panel also discuss Rangers' looming managerial and ownership changes, Stuart Kettlewell's appointment as Kilmarnock's new manager, and the SPFL Playoff Final: Ross County vs Livingston.
