Ross County beating Celtic 3-1 today in the League Cup Semi Final
Final is now Ross County Vs Hibernian
Title decider with Aberdeen this Wednesday now has added importance

If Aberdeen win on Wednesday, Deila is going to be in serious hot water
...mind you, when clubs meet at lower league teams ground you would think that might be more of a leveller.
To answer @Allezfan
I do believe that Aberdeen winning the Scottish League this season would be the biggest upset of all time, above even Leicester winning the Premier League, and my reasons are thus
Celtic are out of Europe and now the League Cup, meaning they will be focused on winning the League. In comparison, Arsenal and Spurs are still fighting on three fronts, while Man City are fighting on four. Thusly, Aberdeen not only have to deal with stronger opposition, but stronger opposition that will be focused on League success like a laser point
The TV money in England means that, aside from about 1 or 2 awful sides, everyone in the top division can truly beat anyone on any given day
In Scotland, though there is closer to parity between Aberdeen and the 10 sides in the League not Celtic, Celtic will more often than not win every game they play due to having a bigger budget than anyone else. This leaves Aberdeen not only needing to beat Celtic in crunch games between the two, but also keep pace with Celtic when it comes to beating everyone else. That's a big ask for a team with their resources.
Leicester can lose to Arsenal one week, but then Arsenal can rock up to a Palace or West Brom the next week and drop points. The League is more even which means that Leicester have in fact more chances to win the League than Aberdeen do
Aberdeen lose on Wednesday, and that's essentially the season over as there's no way they'd get back from a 9 point margin at this stage. Celtic just will not lose enough for them to catch them in that situation. Even if they win, taking the margin to 3 points, they've then got to match Celtic's results and then beat them in the fourth match, which is a huge ask. Aberdeen simply will drop points, it's unavoidable. Celtic may drop a few, but it's unlikely to be on a comparable scale
For that reason, Aberdeen winning the Scottish Premiership would be more of an upset than Leicester winning the English Premiership
I await your response

Good album,reminds me of doing my O levels.
The Barca game is 4 days after the Hull game so it wouldn't shock me if we lost or went to a replay because it'll be a heavily rotated team.
Akpom was probably gutted when we drew Hull. If we win that's his run in the cup over.

Think he'd be a good manager for Villa in the Championship as I can't see Remi Garde fancying the lower leagues.

Another reason why Aberdeen will struggle to keep up the pace. They have little to spend on strengthening the side and Hearts are getting stronger
