Alloa v Aberdeen preview (a quickie)
By: TheNorthernLight | January 9th, 2009A quick preview this one – Aberdeen travel down to Alloa to face the team that provided the first ever Scottish Cup opposition for the Dons back in 1904. That game, on the 23rd January of that year, was won by Alloa, but it would be the only time the Wasps would beat Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup. The last meeting in this competition was back in 2001 when the Reds won 3-0. Darren Mackie (who scored the second goal) and Derek Young are the only remnants from that team still at the club. Alloa are currently second from bottom in the Second division, but lower league opposition does not always guarantee victory – just ask Stenhousemuir (at the time also a Second division side) who beat the Dons in the same competition back in 1995. The tricky surface aside (Recreation Park comes equipped with an artificial pitch), expect Aberdeen to win this one. Prediction: 0-3. Mon the Reds!!!
