The reason for the delayed start of the Celtic vs Aberdeen match in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final has been disclosed.

The reason for the delayed kick-off in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final between Celtic and Aberdeen has been disclosed. The pre-match discussion

regarding the semi-final has concluded. This evening, Celtic and Aberdeen met on the pitch of play at Hampden Park, with both teams eager to commence play at 5:30 p.m. in an effort to participate in the inaugural finale of the season. The fanbase’s pyrotechnics caused smoke columns to billow across the grass as both players made their way onto the pitch, thereby preventing the game from being played at the expected time. The action was postponed by referee Kevin Clancy as a result of the pyro display that preceded the match and the whistler’s explanation of visibility issues. It was suspected that VAR would have been unable to accurately observe the field, which would have affected the drawing of the lines for offside decisions and other similar matters. However, the smoke dissipated within 15 minutes, and the Dons were able to commence the game by punting from the left to the right. The match between the two clubs is the most significant game of the weekend, as both teams are at the forefront of the Scottish Premiership.

The delay at Hampden was attributed to VAR visibility issues. Neither team has been defeated in the league thus far, and Brendan Rodgers’ team currently occupies the top spot in the division due to its superior goal difference. Last month, Jimmy Thelin’s surprise troops rallied after the interval to come back from two goals down and secure a point at Parkhead, which was the last time the two teams faced off. The Hoops had established a commanding lead in the first half thanks to goals from Reo Hatate and Kyogo. However, the game was significantly altered by goals from Ester Sokler and Graeme Shinnie. In December, Celtic will compete against Aberdeen for a berth in the Premier Sports Cup Final. The national stadium is the site of the first of two semi-finals this weekend, which will take place this evening. Motherwell will face Rangers tomorrow afternoon in an effort to secure a spot in the December final.
