AFC DONScast

It’s a double-bill AFC DONScast this week with a packed episode covering a dramatic few days for Aberdeen.

We look back on Thursday night’s UEFA Conference League clash with RC Strasbourg, where a brave Dons performance, a disallowed goal and fine margins saw our European campaign come to an end at Pittodrie.

Attention then turns to the Premiership, as Aberdeen produce a stirring second-half comeback to defeat Kilmarnock 2–1, inspired by skipper Graeme Shinnie and capped by late goals from Kenan Bilalovic and Jesper Karlsson.

Elsewhere in the episode:

• The latest on Aberdeen FC’s proposed new beachfront stadium and positive talks with Aberdeen City Council

• Development side progress in the Aberdeenshire Shield

• A milestone 30th European appearance for Graeme Shinnie

• Rodrigo Vitols’ emergency loan move

• A full Scottish football round-up, including Highland League and League Cup final reaction

• Updates from Aberdeen Women, 122nd AGM, fixture news, ticket information and AFC DONScast festive schedule change

All that, plus interviews, reaction and the usual DONScast headlines.

After a week full of twists, turns, and tense stand-offs, you’d be forgiven for thinking we were watching The Traitors rather than football!

On this week’s AFC DONScast, we recap a dramatic few days for the Dons — from a resilient 0–0 draw away to AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Conference League, to Sunday’s frustrating 1–1 result at home to Motherwell.

We’ve got post-match reaction from Jimmy Thelin, updates on Sivert Heltne Nilsen’s future, player call-ups for the international break, and a fantastic fundraising story as nearly £50,000 is raised for the AFC Community Trust through the Northern Lights Limited Print Series.
