Aberdeen FC 'The Don', Season 1989/90: Aberdeen v Dunfermline Athletic, 16 September 1989 matchday programme — B&Q League; Alex Smith and Jocky Scott, Charlie Nicholas, Willem van der Ark

Official matchday programme for the B&Q League Premier Division: Aberdeen v Dunfermline Athletic, 16 September 1989, at Pittodrie Stadium, Aberdeen. Matchday magazine, 70p, JVC club sponsors, B&Q League. 'Team Talk with Alex Smith and Jocky Scott'. Smith, writing before the European tie with Rapid Vienna, reports immediate disappointment at the Ibrox result: the worst feature was not performing in the second half having done quite well before the break — instead of building on a promising start they allowed Rangers to take over and dictate. Looking at the league table he suspects it is going to be that kind of season with several clubs making the running; with standards improving all round it will be a very difficult league with some unexpected results. Willem van der Ark is still in the process of adjustment and Charlie Nicholas needs a goal or two to get him going; Ian Cameron ran into injury problems. Jocky Scott: today's visit of Dunfermline will be as challenging a fixture as any — they are in the semi-final of the Skol Cup for the first time, a great motivating force, and have improved steadily and can play some very good football. September is a very challenging month requiring a high ratio of victories: the Skol Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden on the Wednesday, the second leg with Rapid a week later, and Premier League fixtures against St Mirren away and Celtic at home.
