    The Darvel fans will be dreaming they can hold on, but what they've shown already is quite remarkable - how they've taken the game to Aberdeen, how they've been comfortable in possession. I think they can take great credit no matter what happens for the rest of this game."

    If Aberdeen don't realise they're in a game, and I mean the players on the pitch, then they've got a shock coming. They need to sharpen up.

    Aberdeen don't react. Yes, Darvel get a slice of fortune, but they get bodies in the box. Darvel are in dreamland! What a start it's been for them.

    The Darvel efforts aren't great, but they're still getting in positions to have a shot at goal. That'll be the worry for Aberdeen.
