Aberdeen's Mitov Out Six Weeks With Injury

Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov has been ruled out for up to six weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Hearts. Mitov, who was a key player for the Dons since joining from St Johnstone, was replaced by Ross Doohan at halftime during the 1-1 draw. The injury is a significant setback for Aberdeen as they prepare for a crucial clash against Celtic, with Mitov missing a busy festive schedule of seven matches. Manager Jimmy Thelin expressed support for Mitov and confidence in Doohan stepping up as the starter in his absence. The club has confirmed that Mitov's injury will keep him sidelined until the New Year. This situation comes as Aberdeen trails Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, making the upcoming matches even more critical.
