HJK Helsinki v Aberdeen LIVE score and goal updates from the Europa Conference League clash

From sweltering Thessaloniki to the ice cold Finnish capital, it's fair to say Aberdeen fans have experienced it all during an eventful Europa Conference League campaign.

The Dons might not have any hope of getting out of Group G despite a battling 2-2 draw against PAOK Salonika in Greece last time out, but Barry Robson dismissed any notion of their penultimate fixture being a dead rubber.

The Pittodrie boss pointed to the fact around 1500 of the Red Army have travelled to the Nordic country and, if nothing else, the Aberdeen players are playing for those who have made the trip to northern Europe.

Aberdeen turned in a battling display against Rangers on Sunday but were just unable to hold out for the victory with the home side conceding a late leveller from the penalty spot against the Ibrox outfit.

It's been a big ask for Robson's Dons juggling both domestic and European football and they will be hoping to have to do the same again next season.

But to do that they will have to get back to winning ways domestically ahead of a big month of December. They return from Finland to face Hibs at Easter Road and there is also the small matter of the League Cup final against Rangers to come.

While it's only pride at stake in Helsinki, Robson will be keen to ensure they gather some momentum - and don't let those travelling supporters down.
