Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin has urged his players to "push themselves to the limits" in a bid to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds of the Conference League alive.

Ligue 1's big spenders, who owned by the same group that controls Premier League giants Chelsea, have little pressure on their shoulders, and Thelin wants his Reds to get that all-important first European win on the board.

The Scottish Cup holders have just two points and realistically need to beat Strasbourg and Sparta Prague away to have any chance of securing European football after Christmas, writes Record Sport .
