I was at the Elgin City v. Aberdeen friendly, and Elgin were actually not looking too bad. Despite the 5-0 scoreline, 3 of the goals were from good set pieces, and Elgin hit the post when the game was 0-0; so the scoreline flattered Aberdeen.
Elgin were organised at the back, No.4 especially was good. Former ICT player Chris Finnegan didn't do anything of note when he came on, but Martin Johnston looked dangerous and held the ball up very well. Brian Irvine has them playing a lot better than when i last saw them a year ago under Davie Robertson.
Watch out for Aberdeen youth player Chris McGuire this coming season, looked especially dangerous when he came on.
Looking forward to the game on wednesday, maybe some of the boys will have caught a bit of the Jimmy Calderwood complextion whilst in Italy!!
