  1. Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    That's Jonny Hayes on now. He'll go to left-back, with Jack McKenzie stepping into a more central defensive role.

    Or maybe it will be a reshuffle to a back four? We'll keep an eye out for any tactical changes.

  2. Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Poor Andrew Considine is being carried off on a stretcher and appears to be in a great deal of distress.

    Jonny Hayes is warming up as his replacement as play resumes.

  3. Considine concern

    Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Uh-oh. Qarabag play on as Andrew Considine collapses in a heap, holding his knee. The attack fizzles out but the Aberdeen defender is receiving treatment now and it's not looking good.

  4. 'Aberdeen suspect through middle'

    Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen defender on BBC Sportsound

    Aberdeen have looked suspect through the middle recently and they certainly looked suspect there

  5. GREAT SAVE!

    Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Joe Lewis is tested for the first time as Andrade waltzes through a series of weak challenges to let fly from 20 yards. The big Aberdeen custodian pushes the shot wide.

  6. Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Jay Emmanuel-Thomas hoists a ball over the top of the home defence and Christian Ramirez is after it. However, the bounce is not kind to the Aberdeen striker and a defender in white nips in to head clear.

  7. 'Don't take chances on this surface'

    Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

    It looks awful and I think it's going to have an impact on the game. Try and play football when you can but don't take any chances whatsoever on this surface

  8. Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    There are a lot of empty seats inside the stadium - and not just the ones cordoned off due to Covid restrictions - but the home fans are making themselves heard, with raucous pantomime boos greeting every early touch from the men in red.

  9. KICK-OFF

    Qarabag 0-0 Aberdeen

    We are up and running in Baku.

    Rade Obrenovic is the referee, with all of the officials from Slovenia.

  10. 'Verve & confidence can see Dons through'

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    It's a massive game for Aberdeen in terms of status and finance. I'm fascinated to see how it goes. Qarabag are serial qualifiers for group stages, but their record over the last 18 months is nothing to be frightened of. I think if Aberdeen show verve and confidence they can get through

  11. 'No silky football tonight'

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Allan Preston
    Ex-St Johnstone winger on BBC Sportsound

    It's going to be a difficult one for Aberdeen tonight. There's no way you can play silky football on that pitch. The temperature will go against them as well. But they've got players they can impose on the game. Ramirez is in sensational form

  12. More sand than Aberdeen's beachfront...

  14. Qarabag accustomed to group phase football

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Hosts Qarabag are group stage regulars these days and may consider the new Europa Conference League slumming it.

    In the past seven seasons the Baku club has competed six times in the Europa League groups and they reached the Champions League group phase in 2017-18.

  15. It's been a while for Aberdeen...

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Aberdeen are looking to reach the group stage of a European competition for the first time since 2007-08.

    The Dons have been in Europa League qualifying for each of the past seven seasons, going as far as the third qualifying round on six occasions.

  16. 'Aberdeen go with five at the back'

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

    Stephen Glass has made it known Ross McCrorie is going to be at centre-back this season. It looks to me he wants to play with a five at the back. The young full-backs will only bomb forward when it's on

  17. 'Pitch horrific'

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Liam McLeod
    BBC Sport Scotland commentator

    We're getting a good view of the pitch and it is horrific when you see the big bare patches on it

  18. Pitch no problem for Glass

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack took to Twitter last night to voice concerns over the state of the pitch.

    However, manager Stephen Glass was quick to play it down.

    "It is going to be the same for both teams," he said during his media conference. "Hopefully it means they won’t be cutting through us passing it on the grass.

    "It is not like we are used to playing at Hampden every week. When it gets to winter the boys are used to playing on pitches that aren’t the best."

  19. Glass rings changes after Raith defeat

    Qarabag v Aberdeen (17:00)

    Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass has recalled his main men after Sunday's embarrassing last-16 League Cup defeat to second-tier Raith Rovers.

    Skipper Scott Brown and Lewis Ferguson are back in the engine room.

    Young full-backs Calvin Ramsay and Jack MacKenzie are also back in, as is centre-back Andy Considine and striker Christian Ramirez.

    Jack Gurr, Jonny Hayes, Dylan McGeouch, Connor McLennan, Teddy Jenks and Niall McGinn drop to the bench.
