Celtic 1 - 0 Aberdeen: How the players rated in Betfred Cup final

With plenty of talking points from the 90 minutes, social media was awash with debate from rival fans. We’ve collated some of the best.

@LifeOfKylie: “Andrew Dallas continues time and time again to make bad decisions. In no way does he deserve to be refereeing at this level. One word - nepotism.”

@barrybhoy99: “McInnes irritates me. Aberdeen created nothing in 90 minutes. The closest they got to a goal was a moment of madness from our defender with his first touch in the game. Thank goodness we missed the pen. We would never have heard the end of it.”

@AgentScotland: “Nothing but admiration for Aberdeen Football Club, four consecutive 2nd place finishes and four Cup Finals in McInnes’ five years in charge, average attendance up by ~60% too. They’re a major force in Scotland again & it was done fairly & with integrity while also making money.”

@Oldfirmfacts1: “Superb performance at the back from Aberdeen. Full credit to Joe Lewis, Andrew Considine, Scott Sinclair and Scott McKenna.”

@MattMurray90: “Considering we had our best player missing (Devlin) & second best player knocked out (GMS), we played alright. Still can not condone singing McInnes’ name after yet another failure.”

@Brosinecki: “It’s remarkable the amount of Celtic fans I’ve seen on here who instead of celebrating their team’s victory like a normal person, have taken to obsessively insulting Derek McInnes. I suppose, with classless players like Lustig as role models... Strange behaviour.”

@FreeNwakali: “Deserved more. We could’ve played better but our performance still deserved a result. One of the most disgraceful refereeing performances I can remember. Cosgrove shouldn’t of started. Mcinnes decision to bring on Mclennan proved to be justified as he caused problems.”

@megankanexxx: “I still canny get over how class Ryan Christie’s gotten in the space of like 2 months. Went from looking like he’d never get a game to scoring the winner in a cup final, what a boy.”

@DicksonUTLR: “Ryan Christie not giving a f*** about being at Aberdeen the last two years and giving it yaldy. Quality.”

@ORebily: “When Boyata came off with the head knock, they should’ve bandaged him up and got him to sign a new contract.”

@Oldfirmfacts1: “Celtic fans unable to find space for a mention of that Celtic penalty decision in their 5,000 word blogs about the Morelos goal.”

@GC_1508: “Been impressed with Callum McGregor again playing deep. Destined to play at a higher level. Watford or Palace perhaps.”

Replying to “Aberdeen fan runs onto the pitch when Aberdeen have minutes left to equalise” @standfree1903 answered: “To be fair he was more of an attacking threat than James Wilson.”
