Matchday 2 – Celtic

The latest episode of the AFC DONScast is here – your number one Aberdeen FC podcast for all the latest news, match reaction, and Red Army updates.

This week, we bring you full reaction from Aberdeen’s Premiership clash with Celtic at Pittodrie – the first home game of the 2025/26 season. Under manager Jimmy Thelin, now in his second season, the Dons entered the match with confidence following May’s historic Scottish Cup win. Despite a strong start and early chances from Adil Aouchiche, goals from Nygren and Hatate saw Celtic leave with a 2–0 win.

In the episode, we have pre and post-match Celtic reaction from Jimmy Thelin, a deep dive into the latest Aberdeen FC transfer news, and the inside story on the rumoured bargain signing of Serbian U21 striker Marko Lazetic from AC Milan. We also have updates on ongoing contract talks with Shayden Morris, Graeme Shinnie, Dante Polvara, and Ester Sokler.

It’s a big week for Aberdeen Women too, with three exciting new signings:

• Bridget Galloway, experienced forward from Nottingham Forest Women

• Katie Cox, Chelsea goalkeeper on a season-long loan

• Alex Clarke, Northern Ireland forward joining from Linfield

These arrivals strengthen Scott Booth’s squad ahead of the new SWPL season.

We also have Europa League play-off ticket news as we await the winner of FCSB vs Drita, plus your full SPFL and Highland League results round-up. There’s news on Pittodrie’s brand-new 80m² LED big screen, and more on next weekend’s Scottish League Cup tie against Greenock Morton.
