The two Glasgow giants inevitably dominate Scottish football. It’s approaching 40 years since a side other than Celtic or Rangers won the title and that run shows no sign of ending. As such, it’s the battle to be the best of the rest which most interests the other 10 clubs in the Premiership.
Aberdeen currently sit in third place, and are favoured to finish there at the conclusion of the season (per FiveThirtyEight). Their position would have been stronger had they beaten Rangers on Tuesday evening, but despite leading in the 94th minute they somehow conspired to lose.
Nonetheless, the Dons have made a decent start to 2022/23, particularly as they finished 10th last season. One of their more impressive players has been Liverpool loanee Leighton Clarkson, with the team having a better goal difference when he has played as opposed to when he has not (per FBRef).
