A Greek tragedy, a Pittodrie setback, and youth brilliance – it’s been a week of highs and lows for the Dons.

On this week’s AFC DONScast, Graeme rounds up a tough week in Europe as Aberdeen suffer a 6–0 defeat to AEK Athens before returning home for a frustrating 2–1 loss against Hibs. We hear from manager Jimmy Thelin and captain Graeme Shinnie before and after both matches.

There’s better news elsewhere – the Development Squad edge Huntly in a five-goal Aberdeenshire Shield thriller, and the Young Dons run riot in a 12–1 Scottish Youth Cup win over Dunbar United.

Plus, we cover Peter Davidson’s appointment as AFC Community Trust CEO, international call-ups for Aberdeen Women’s stars, and a full round-up from the Scottish Cup Second Round and league action across the weekend.

All that and a look ahead to our midweek trip to Kilmarnock and next month’s Conference League tie away to AEK Larnaca.
