The Red Matchday team have produced a special limited edition 100 page souvenir programme for the cinch Premiership fixture between Aberdeen and Rangers this weekend to mark the Dons 5000th competitive game.

The publication is packed with special features including an indepth interview with Mattie Pollock.

“It’s the best dressing room I’ve ever been part of. It’s unbelievable. The lads are top drawer. I’m making friends for life and friends I will speak to beyond this season. We do things as a team. We had a meal the other day, it started off by just a casual suggestion and we ended up with a table of 15! The lads just want to be with each other.

“Sometimes we go through games, for example St Johnstone, where we probably as a team didn’t have the best game we’ve had and we were a little bit poor and disappointed with ourselves, but we were able to grind the result out because of the togetherness and the will that we have to make each other get over the line.

“The lads have stuck together and we have been massive on that.

“There is a real special feeling here and win, lose or draw we are a real together group. The lads are class and working with them has been a joy. Since I have come in, I have to say thank you to the gaffer and all the lads. Nobody can speak highly enough of how the gaffer has been. I love working under him, Steve Agnew and the other staff. It has been massive for my development.

“The gaffer knows what this club is about and he drives standards, whether that is on the field or off it. He has us working. The training has been tough but we needed it. It is starting to show on the field, with the ideas he is starting to get across. Everyone in the changing room is buzzing to be working with him and genuinely loving to be working with him.”

Ylber Ramadani takes part in the Q&A, the former players feature looks back at Zoltán Varga’s spell in the North East of Scotland and the young Dons interview is with Jack Milne.

Plus all the usual features – Top Ten, Glory of Gothenburg, Aberdeen FC Archives, The Foundation Dons, Former Players Club, On Sacred Ground, Past Programme, As Time Goes By, Picture This and Memory Match.

Plus lots lots more!
