“I don’t believe in luck, but I’ve never been so lucky since I’ve been here,” Nancy said. \u201cWe hit the post almost every game, but the most important thing is the resilience of our players.\u201d<\/p>\n

“That’s why we’ve come to this moment,” he said. \u201cI could have come a little later, but I needed time to assess and assess the team, so together with the club we decided now was the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aberdeen defender Dylan Lobban was shown a straight red card for a foul on Celtic forward Daenen Maeda just before the break. Aberdeen scored in the 74th minute through Kenan Bilalovic.<\/p>\n
