Media report

09-Oct-1993, Press Association

Aberdeen slumped to defeat in a five-goal thriller as they were watched by the management team of Torino, their European Cup Winners Cup opponents. The Italians saw that the Aberdeen defenders disliked the physical approach as big Roddy Grant gave them a difficult afternoon. Partick had a superb start and were two up in five minutes. With four minutes gone an Alex Taylor free-kick was deflected off the defensive wall and into the far corner of the net. A minute later a sweeping passing move against cut open the Aberdeen defence for Albert Craig to shoot home from ten yards. Aberdeen fought back with a two goals in two minutes burst early in the second half. After 53 minutes their Finnish striker Mixu Paatelainen knocked in the first from close range and then Duncan Shearer headed a second. But with 19 minutes left Grant sealed the points when he turned and shot low into the net for Partick’s winner.
