Aberdeen will have to smash a 32-year Hampden hoodoo to beat Celtic in tonight's Premier Sports Cup semi-final, with the Hoops going for ten in a row.

Pittodrie boss Jimmy Thelin has made an astonishing start to his tenure with the Dons sitting joint top of the league with Brendan Rodgers' side and nine points ahead of Rangers.

But to reach his first Final as a manager, he will have to overcome Aberdeen's horrific Hampden hex against Celtic.

Since Eoin Jess netted the only goal in a last four Scottish League Cup clash in 1992, Aberdeen have played Celtic nine times at the national stadium and lost them all.

Here's that record:

2024: Celtic 3-3 Aberdeen - Scottish Cup semi-final (Celtic won 6-5 on pens).

2020: Celtic 2-0 Aberdeen - Scottish Cup semi-final.

2019: Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen. Scottish Cup semi-final.

2018: Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen. League Cup Final.

2017: Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen. Scottish Cup Final.

2016: Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen. League Cup semi-final.
