Adil holding out hope of progress after getting wise to Dons' history on continent thanks to online reels

ADIL AOUCHICHE knows all about Sir Alex Ferguson and Aberdeen's proud European history «» thanks to TikTok of all things.

And the playmaker is confident the clock isn’t ticking away to an early Conference League exit for the current generation.

Jimmy Thelin’s side have one point at the halfway stage of the league phase, leaving them among the 12 on course for elimination.

With that in mind, Aouchiche knows the significance of putting a first European win on the board against Noah tonight.

The Frenchman is well aware of the Cup Winners’ Cup and Super Cup heavyweights of the early 80s.

And he is looking to do the reputation proud by seeing off the Armenian champions.

Aouchiche said: “I have seen some of the old pictures on YouTube and TikTok. The club also put them up.

“If you sign for this club, you don't know all the history but you have to know a bit about it.

“I have seen some good videos from Aberdeen’s past European campaigns’

The Reds have threatened a domestic revival in the last few weeks with victories over Kilmarnock and Hearts either side of a draw with Motherwell.

And the on-loan Sunderland player is confident the streak will continue tonight.

The Dons have back-to-back home games against Noah and Strasbourg before they head to Sparta Prague in three weeks in the final action of this phase.
