Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin will look to match Martin O’Neill’s perfect start as Celtic manager by making it a dream dozen in Dundee.
The Swede has made an instant impact at Pittodrie leading his side to 11 straight victories. They have also seen off Queen of the South, East Kilbride, Airdrie, Dumbarton, Queen’s Park and Spartans in the cup.
Thelin has led Aberdeen to five wins in the Scottish Premiership and now six wins in their Premier Sports Cup charges, where they have made the semi-finals and face Celtic in the semi-finals at Hampden in November.
The Aberdeen boss can boast league wins over St Johnstone,St Mirren, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Motherwell. If the Dons boss could put another win on the board at Dens Park on Saturday then it would see him equal the impressive run that O’Neill kicked off with as Hoops boss back in 2000.
