Willie Miller pinpoints the precise instant in which Celtic defeated Aberdeen in the Parkhead demolition: “They lost their faith.”

At Parkhead, Celtic secured their second-largest victory of the season over Aberdeen. Earlier this season, the Bhoys defeated Aberdeen 6-0 in the League Cup.

However, at Celtic Park last night, Brendan Rodgers’ Bhoys completely destroyed the Pittodrie club. Jimmy Thelin’s team exhibited a commendable effort in the initial half and, in reality, should have taken the lead earlier due to Celtic’s sluggish start.

However, the Hoops eventually demonstrated their sophistication and gradually reversed the tide to secure a 5-1 victory over Aberdeen, which left Jimmy Thelin in a state of disarray at Celtic Park.

However, it appears that there was a moment when The Dons simply surrendered inside Paradise, which did not sit well with BBC commentator and Aberdeen legend Willie Miller. Pat Bonner criticises Aberdeen’s “little jog” as Celtic score five goals. The conversation was initiated by Pat Bonner on BBC Radio Scotland, and when Celtic had a 4-0 lead, the former Hoops custodian criticised Aberdeen for surrendering.

Bonner stated, “You must promptly ascend the pitch as soon as that ball is played back 10, 15, or 20 yards.” “It is almost akin to a brief sprint up the pitch, and the midfielders find it exceedingly challenging to remain in close proximity to McCowan and McGregor.””

Even Schlupps is now in the mix, and he is on the brink of becoming a second or third midfielder, which is proving to be a challenge for them.” Willie Miller identifies the moment when Aberdeen “lost the appetite” to contend with Celtic. Miller concurred with Bonner, stating that Aberdeen had “lost their belief” and criticising one player for being “nowhere near it” against Celtic.

The Aberdeen legend stated, “They have lost their interest in it — Aberdeen.” “The midfield is being pushed forward by the back four.” Papa Gueye entered the game and proceeded to bumble around in the midfield area, failing to make any significant contributions to Celtic’s downfall. He has not been in close proximity to it.

“The issue is that Aberdeen is not taking any action to disrupt their play patterns or disrupt them.” They have also lost all of their vitality. “It appears that they have abandoned their conviction.” I have yet to observe any action from the fullbacks, and their actions have been diametrically opposed to those of the first half.

Aberdeen appeared poised to seize second place in the league from Rangers at one point, but Celtic maintained their unblemished streak. Brendan Rodgers will now face a challenging away journey to St Mirren, where he will face a Stephen Robinson team that is confident following their victory over Rangers at Ibrox last weekend.
