"Good to grind out a win but the match clearly demonstrated our current level. We really need a forward who can actually score as our current crop seem not up to the task. The game was too close for comfort but we did progress."
"This was a real struggle. Raith put pressure on every player with the ball and forced us into numerous mistakes. Our transition was slow and laborious, giving time for Raith to reorganise and restrict our chances. We really need to up the pace and work much, much harder."
"Each week we sink to a new low. It is only getting worse. It's going to be virtually impossible to get a player of any real quality to join this rabble. It's only going to get worse I am afraid. So much change is needed on and off the field. Thankfully we have had a long run of success. Such times seem lightyears away."
Both Aberdeen and Celtic advanced in the Scottish Cup by narrow margins, yet supporters expressed alarm about team performances and future prospects. Aberdeen struggled to create clear chances, showed slow and predictable sideways play, poor transitions, and a lack of a clinical forward, prompting calls for faster attacking play and greater work rate. Celtic retained possession but lacked cutting edge, with fans warning of declining standards and difficulty attracting quality players. Many supporters urged managerial direction, structural change on and off the field, and improved pace and decisiveness to restore competitiveness.
