Well Beaten.
The Dons, who entertain St Mirren, were well beaten in Saturday’s friendly at Middlesbrough.
Conditions were bad, but the fact that Spuhler, the veteran forward of the home team, had four goals will give the Pittodrie officials plenty of food for thought when choosing their cup side. It appears that Spuhler's speed was too much for Smith.
