As an Aberdeen fan of 45 years, I have seen my fair share of ups and downs as well as the occasional heart-breaking moment. The two Skol Cup finals in 1987 and 1988 spring to mind, as does the more recent 2017 Scottish Cup final when Tom Rogic’s 92nd-minute goal was a dagger through the heart but nothing compares to Saturday’s penalty shoot-out defeat against Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
