    Aberdeen have dealt with everything Eintracht Frankfurt have thrown at them, mind you they haven't thrown much at them.

    A disappointing performance from the visitors but it has been ruthless from Aberdeen.

    Kelle Roos holds another ball under pressure.

    What a game he's had.

    Real Betis v Rangers (20:00)

    Rangers won't have it easy.

    Multi-time Champions League winner Isco has starred for the Seville side this season and will look to hurt their Scottish opposition with his signature spark.

    Former Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin and ex-Leicester City man Ayoze Perez also feature for Manuel Pellegrini's men, but France international Nabil Fekir is missing with a lengthy injury.

    Philippe Clement makes three changes to his depleted Rangers team.

    Sam Lammers replaces Todd Cantwell, who hasn't travelled to Seville due to "personal reasons".

    Connor Goldson returns to the backline as John Souttar drops to the bench, while Ross McCausland switches with Rabbi Matondo after starring in Rangers' last European outing.

    That's spot on from Crags.

    Aberdeen can hold their heads high. They've done themselves proud in this European campaign.

    The remarkable thing about Aberdeen is they've scored in every group game.

    That's no mean feat when you're playing superior opposition.

    A few Aberdeen players are giving Barry Robson a bit of a headache for Sunday.

    Ester Sokler showed a calmness there as the ball was played over the top.

    The little dinked ball in between the two centre-backs and he just drills it into the top corner.

    What a wonderful goal and an instant impact from the substitute.

    That pass from Dante Polvara is absolute perfection.

    It really is a top-class finish. This is a huge upset.

    That Sokler goal was one fit to grace the Bundesliga.

    What a pass. What a finish.

    Dante Polvara puts a fine ball over the top and Ester Sokler is through to cushion a finish over the keeper.

  13. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 19:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Aberdeen 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Nicky Devlin wants a penalty but he isn't getting one.

    Eintracht defender Smolcic lunges in but the referee says no - so does the VAR.

    Another double sub for the Dons.

    Jamie McGrath and Nicky Devlin are on for Jack Milne and Shayden Morris.

    Aberdeen are hanging on a bit here.

    Richard Jensen hacks a ball away at the back post before Kelle Roos gets his body behind another Paxten Aaronson effort.

    Frankfurt have sparked back into life and are causing Aberdeen a few problems once again.

    Aberdeen are sliced open but Slobodan Rubezic is alert and does well to cut out a cross at the back post.

    Wee update from Greece...

    PAOK are now 3-1 up against HJK.

    I reckon Aberdeen have third spot sealed now.

    Willie Miller

    I think it is wise to take Duk off and not take any chances on him getting injured, especially if Bojan Miovski is a doubt [for the cup final].

    Duk got his goal that will add to his confidence.

    Oh, so Ester Sokler is coming on then.

    He replaces Duk, while Richard Jensen is on for Stefan Gartenmann.
