Aberdeen to further glory. The Dons boss inherited a squad that struggled for goals and knew he had to put together an exciting, attacking team that would get the Red Army flocking back to Pittodrie.He brought in frontmen Christian Ramirez and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas along with Scott Brown, Jack Gurr, Declan Gallagher and Teddy Jenks.

Aberdeen from watching the Sir Alex Ferguson documentary. The American might be the new kid on the block but he has already started to swot up on some of the Dons history.Ramirez admitted watching ‘Never Give In’ and he was mesmerised by his early time at Pittodrie, where he helped Aberdeen to conquer Scotland and Europe.

Scott Brown has already shown what he is capable of this season for Aberdeen. The veteran midfielder departed Celtic for Pittodrie at the end of last season and has settled quickly into his new surroundings.

Stephen Glass could never have imagined the rip-roaring performance his Dons would pull out of the bag against BK Hacken to enthral the thousands of fans in attendance. But now that the standard has been set, he insists that's the benchmark for his squad to replicate every week.

Aberdeen are hopeful this can finally be the year they make the group stages of continental competition – starting with a win over Swedish BK Hacken. Stephen Glass' new-look side will face off against the Allsvenskan club tonight - who are 11 games into their league season - as they make their Europa Conference League debut in front of 5665 expectant home fans.

Ange Postecoglou has turned to the ever-present midfielder to take the armband from Scott Brown after the legendary skipper departed for Aberdeen.

Scott Brown will wear the captain's armband this season, taking over from Joe Lewis. The Celtic legend has joined the Dons in a player-coach role and the immediate question was whether he would be named skipper.

Stephen Glass and his side have pulled the plug. It's an unwelcome development, given the match would have provided vital game time for the likes of new signing Scott Brown ahead of a vital Europa Conference League clash against Swedish side BK Hacken.
