Aberdeen CAN get Eintracht Frankfurt Conference League result as Willie Miller outlines Dons' key threats

Aberdeen can prove the doubters wrong by gaining a memorable result against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday as they embark on their debut Europa Conference League group stage campaign.

That's the verdict from Dons legend Willie Miller, who believes Barry Robson's struggling side have some "very good" players and are capable of producing something special in Germany despite everyone writing them off because of their winless start to the Scottish Premiership season.
