Official programme, 50p. The cover pairs the two captains — Dons captain Willie Miller and Waterschei captain Pierre Janssen. 'Fergie': time has flashed by to bring Aberdeen into the penultimate stage of the competition, and a cordial welcome is extended to the Belgian side; it hardly seems three weeks since that night to remember against Bayern Munich. Pulling on their European cloak again, Aberdeen get away from the demands of the domestic programme — though plenty think it is escaping soccer pressures, it is good for the team to get this kind of opportunity and different responsibility. The size of the task, as the surviving British club side in any European competition, will not be under-estimated: the visitors may not be among the best known teams in Europe but are a comprehensive squad, technically sound, who qualified on a 3-2 aggregate over Paris Saint-Germain — 'any team capable of beating the French side is certainly one that requires the utmost respect'. Their manager is a clever guiding hand who has brought them virtually from nothing to rate highly in the Belgian League. It would be tempting fate to expect another thriller like Bayern Munich, but every fan should remember it is a two-game affair. Attentions then turn to Saturday's league fixture at Ibrox against Rangers, then Celtic at Hampden in the Scottish Cup semi-final — 'which must make this month's programme for Aberdeen the most crucial on record'. Finally, local company Hydrasun Ltd have signed a sponsorship deal involving tracksuit advertising and promotion. Aberdeen Football Club Ltd, Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen.
