PAOK vs Aberdeen LIVE as Duk handed start over Polvara with Ryan Duncan given vote of confidence

Aberdeen probably didn't need the plane to fly them to Thessaloniki after their Hampden high on Saturday.

And Barry Robson will be hoping their confidence-boosting Viaplay Cup semi-final win over Hibernian can help them as they face a daunting Europa Conference League task.

The Reds will still be feeling the pain of their defeat to the Greeks as they blew a two-goal lead at Pittodrie a couple of weeks ago but they have the chance of revenge in the second half of their double header at the midway point in Group G.

In Hampden matchwinner Bojan Miovski they have a striker who can cause any team major problems but Robson has the Macedonian striker on the bench looking to conjure something up.

Scottish Premiership rivals Hearts were thumped 4-0 in the intimidating stadium known as the Toumba and the Aberdeen players will have to handle the hot atmosphere - and the sweltering heat.

It's going to be a tough test for sure but can Aberdeen keep their cool to record a famous result? Find out right here as we bring you all the build up, match action and reaction right here in our LIVE blog.
