'Back to the Future' Omen Gets Aberdeen Fans Excited over Scottish Title Bid

At the start of the Scottish Premiership season, everybody thought it would be a procession for defending champions Celtic. 

Aberdeen were 41-1 to win the league according to BetInf.com, despite being second favourites, but they currently hold a surprising four-point lead at the top of the table. 

What is really getting Aberdeen fans excited, though, is an admittedly tenuous link with 1985 blockbuster Back To The Future.

That is because Aberdeen won the title in both 1955 and 1985 (the last time anyone other than Celtic or Rangers won it)—two years featured in the movie. 

And where does Doc Emmett Brown go at the end of the movie?

And what year are we in now?

And in what year will Aberdeen next win the league?

Well, who knows, but Scottish football has been so dull these last few seasons that it's nice to have an omen that suggests something different might happen.
