- In the Conference League group-stage finale, Aberdeen lost 3-0 to Sparta Prague in Prague, finishing second bottom with just two points.

- John Mercado opened the scoring with a curled finish in the 16th minute, Lukas Haraslin doubled the lead from a 29th-minute corner, and Garang Kuol sealed the result in the 66th minute.
- They avoided last place after a stoppage-time own goal by Rapid Vienna, and Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin said the squad must be improved ahead of Sunday’s trip to Celtic Park.
- Overall the Dons played six opponents and five finished in the top eight, and Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin acknowledges they must grow to compete with transfer windows shaping future plans.
