EP117: Livi Review / News Round-up / Celtic Preview
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means!
Welcome to Episode 117 of the ABZFP where Gary, Gavin & Graham are all delighted to bring you much CINCH goodness (kind of) as the Dons open their league campaign with an all too predictable goal-less draw at the Tony Macaroni on Saturday.
We then turn our attention to the week just gone and Gary and Graham are magically teleported to Monday to bring you an initial reaction to our Europa League Playoff Round draw which sees us facing a trip to Lithuania or Sweden in the coming weeks.
We then turn our attention to the opening home fixture of the season on Sunday as the reigning champions, Celtic, visit the home of football in the lunchtime K-O as we look to get our first win of the season on the board and a first win over the visitors since February 2016.
