Aberdeen returned to Pittodrie this afternoon for our first home match of the season, taking on Celtic in front of a packed Red Army. Under Jimmy Thelin, now in his second season in charge, the Dons have been riding high after May’s historic Scottish Cup win.
While Aberdeen started with intent and created early chances, two moments of quality from the visitors sealed a 2–0 win for Celtic. Adil Aouchiche came close in the opening stages, forcing Kasper Schmeichel into a fine save, but goals from Nygren and Hatate proved decisive.
The episode features pre and post-match reaction from Jimmy Thelin, plus the latest on the Dons’ transfer dealings – including the rumoured arrival of Serbian U21 international Marko Lazetic from AC Milan, a move described as one of the club’s shrewdest in recent years. We also cover ongoing contract talks with Shayden Morris, Graeme Shinnie, Dante Polvara and Ester Sokler.
There’s big news from Aberdeen Women too, with three new signings unveiled: experienced forward Bridget Galloway, Chelsea goalkeeper Katie Cox on loan, and Northern Ireland forward Alex Clarke. All three bring proven quality and fresh competition as Scott Booth’s side prepares for the new SWPL season.
We’ve also got the latest Europa League play-off ticket details as we await the winner of FCSB vs Drita, plus full SPFL and Highland League round-ups, news on Pittodrie’s new 80m² big screen, and a reminder about fan safety following a suspended partial stadium closure.
Looking ahead, we have ticket news on next weekend’s Scottish League Cup tie away to Greenock Morton – and we’ll be back with more reaction and news following that match.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
