Well, I was wrong - they played their hearts out and were incredibly unlucky not to be taking a lead into the second leg in a couple of week’s time.

I didn’t see much of the first half, but if it was anything like the second then they were by far the better team and deserved to have won the game.

As it is, it’s going to be a nervy game over in Ukraine in two week’s time.  A couple of year’s ago Dnipro managed a 0-0 draw with Hibs in the first leg and then ended up beating them 5-1 back in the Ukraine so it’s not going to be all plain sailing!  And apparently the team they have now is even better than the team they had back then…

At primary school this wasn’t really a problem, as they were going through a bit of a golden era and won more than their fair share of trophies.  But come secondary school, Alex Ferguson had set sail to Manchester United and Aberdeen were left in the doldrums - bad times.
