SNS GroupAberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin has named his starting line-up for the first leg of their Europa League play-off clash.
The Dons welcome Steaua Bucharest to Pittodrie with a place in the league phase of Europe’s second-tier competition on the line.
They will be looking to put a disappointing start to their domestic campaign behind them against the Romanian side on Thursday night.
Aberdeen are guaranteed league phase football this season after winning the Scottish Cup with a penalty shoot-out victory over Celtic in May.
If FCSB knocks them out, they will drop into the Conference League, where they could potentially be joined by Hibs.
But the manager has insisted that the Europa League is the target, and they will likely need a good home result to take over to Bucharest for the decisive second leg next week.
Thelin has started with Mitov in goals behind Jenson, Milne, Dorrington, Molloy, Heltne Nilsen, Palaversa, Milanovic, Aouchiche, Keskinen and Yengi.
