Celtic vs Aberdeen will NOT be televised – and here are the multiple reasons why fans are sick about it

07.10.2024 - 17:37 dailyrecord.co.uk

Forget the why, we'll ruminate over that shortly. Instead, let's zero in on the how surrounding an own goal which feels avoidable.

In a fortnight, two Premiership sides boasting unblemished records will lock horns in Glasgow's east end as champions Celtic host an Aberdeen side who have won a remarkable 13 consecutive games under Jimmy Thelin.

The super Swede has breathed new life into a team who, somehow, contrived to skirt the edges of a relegation dogfight before Peter Leven cleaned up the mess continued by Neil Warnock last season.

So how remarkable is this Granite City turnaround, you say? If Thelin masterminds a win against Celtic he will have equalled Aberdeen's pre-split win total of eight in 25 fewer matches.

Why Did India Include 5th Spin Option For New Zealand Tests? Report Reveals Big Reason

India decided to include all-rounder Washington Sundar in the squad for the New Zealand Tests despite already having four specialist spin options. The decision was taken following the loss in the first Test encounter in Bengaluru on Sunday. Although the squad already had Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, the BCCI decided to add Sundar for the two remaining Test matches. According to a report by Indian Express, Sundar was added to the squad due to concerns regarding India's batting with Shubman Gill struggling with a stiff neck, Rishabh Pant's knee injury, and KL Rahul's disappointing show in Bengaluru. The report added that it was the request from the Gautam Gambhir-led team management to include Sundar and he can play the second Test match in Pune.
