Smith Return Boosts Aberdeen Chances
Thursday 20 December 2007 at 12:53  Jamie Smith is set to return to the Aberdeen line-up for tonight's (December 20th) must win Uefa Cup match with FC Copenhagen.
Aberdeen need all three points to secure a spot in the knockout stages, and the return of Smith has shortened their odds 6/4 with William Hill. FC Copenhagen are priced at 7/4 with NPBet.
And Dons manager Jimmy Calderwood revealed how important Smith has been for the side on the continent.
"He's done very well in Europe. We were unlucky in Madrid at that moment when he came off," he said.
In full comprehension of the size of tonight's task, Calderwood added: "We've got to win the game, we know that.
"We have to try to take command of the game against a very strong team, but we're under no illusions about how competent Copenhagen are."
Meanwhile, Aberdeen's Lee Miller is the favourite to open the scoring at Pittodrie tonight, rated at 6/1 with Stan James.
