Nicky Devlin on why Aberdeen CAN'T take Spartans lightly in Premier Sports Cup clash
dailyrecord.co.ukAberdeen star Nicky Devlin has seen enough Spartans shocks not to take anything for granted going into their Premier Sports Cup quarter-final clash.The Scottish League Two outfit have shown they can punch above their weight, as they won their group section, ahead of Livingston, and then knocked out Premiership Ross County in the last round.
