Milne Double Sinks Bairns
It was also in a substitute's role that (Colin) Milne contributed significantly to the downfall of Falkirk in a Premier Reserve League game at Pittodrie a week earlier.
On this occasion, he was an interval replacement for Iain Nisbet, who was displaying flu symptoms, and he grabbed the opportunity to form a dangerous striking combination with Ian Downie, highlighting his performance with two headed goals.
An important factor in the young Dons' second-half transformation after their failure to create chances earlier in the game was Colin MacRonald settling into his most effective role as provider of ammunition from a wide left position. In addition to furnishing the crosses for both Milne's goals, MacRonald also created several chances which went abegging.
