Today the Aberdeen Reserves will start out in a brand-new series of friendly matches.
Along with Hibs, Celtic, Rangers, as well as English sides Brentford and Huddersfield Town, the young Dons will play each side home and away throughout the course of the season.
Paul Sheerin’s side welcome English Championship side Huddersfield Town north today. The game against The Terriers will take place at Glebe Park, kick off at 12.30pm.
The friendly matches are for sides under the age of 21, although the rules allow three overage players and one overage goalkeeper to be used. Aberdeen can also field any of their young players who are currently out on loan.
Paul Sheerin commented “It is something a bit different for us and something we are all looking forward to.
“Coming up against the English sides was appealing, playing against a different style of football and seeing how they work.”
After the fixture today, Aberdeen are then due to play Brentford FC on Sunday 29th September 2019, kick off 4.00 pm at the Balmoral Stadium, Cove.
