About this episode

The episode reflects on Aberdeen's European exit and a dramatic match against Celtic, along with updates on the club's other activities.

AFC DONScast | European Farewell, Celtic Heartbreak & Festive Dons Round-Up Thursday nights under the lights, a sold-out Red Army abroad, and another dramatic weekend for the Dons. In this week’s AFC DONScast, we reflect on the end of Aberdeen’s European journey in Prague as the Dons bow out of the UEFA Conference League after a tough test against Sparta. There’s reaction from manager Jimmy Thelin, analysis of the key moments, and a look at what the campaign delivered on the continental stage. Attention then turns to a remarkable and ultimately heartbreaking afternoon in Glasgow, as a heroic ten-man Aberdeen side pushed Celtic all the way before two late goals denied the Dons a famous point. We assess a monumental goalkeeping performance, a goal that stunned Parkhead, and a cruel ending to a valiant display. The show also rounds up Aberdeen B’s progress into the Aberdeenshire Shield final, the latest on Graeme Shinnie’s contract situation, speculation surrounding Peter Leven, the fallout from the Pittodrie alcohol pilot, and a comprehensive review of the weekend’s action across Scottish football and the Highland League. Plus, there’s coverage of Aberdeen Women, a look ahead…
