An in-form Aberdeen were humbled at the hands of Celtic, losing 6-0 in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup at Hampden tonight (Saturday).
It was slim pickings for pass marks among Jimmy Thelin's side over the course of the match. Here's how they rated.
Dimitar Mitov Could do very little for any of Celtic's goals, with little to do over the course bar picking the ball out of the net. Decent save from Hatate in closing stages.4
Nicky Devlin One of the key reasons Aberdeen have been so strong this year so far, Devlin was as vocal as you might expect throughout. Struggled to affect the game against Celtic's indomitable high press. 6
Jack MacKenzie Crossed for teammate Ester Sokler ahead of 70 minutes, forging Aberdeen's best chance of the night. Suffocated for space on the left flank for long stretches of the match, and thwarted Celtic on a handful of occasions despite the scoreline. 6
Graeme Shinnie Like Devlin, captain Graeme Shinnie's experience and commitment has helped drive Aberdeen so far this season. Again like Devlin, struggled to rally his teammates in the face of a relentless opponent. 6
Sivert Heltne Nilson Put himself about with a flurry of tackles in the early stages, but Heltne Nilson's bark failed to match its bite on this occasion. 3
Jamie McGrath Forced a routine save from Schmeichel ahead of the hour mark but otherwise perhaps the quietest McGrath has been all season. 4
Luis Duk Lopes Looked lively on the left flank in the opening stages, but struggled with the physicality of his opponents. Not the worst player on the pitch during his 45 minutes on it, but likewise far from his best. 4Ester Sokler Squandered his side's best chance at 5-0 down when he headed a fine Jamie McGrath cross well wide of the mark with Schmeichel likely beaten. Otherwise ineffective at the national stadium. 4Gavin Molloy Struggled to match Carter-Vickers as the American headed home from a corner, and spent most of his evening chasing shadows. 4
Slobodan Rubezic Cautioned early for a rough challenge on Kyogo. Switched up his game into the second half, going longer than we've otherwise seen this season, but struggled to hit his target on a handful of occasions. 4
Topi Keskinen A forgettable evening for the right-sided winger who's been no stranger to scoring goals this year so far. Quiet and offered little in all areas of the pitch. 3
