Jimmy challenge for Dons

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood has urged his players to believe in their ability to progress in the UEFA Cup ahead of their final group match.
The Dons face FC Copenhagen at Pittodrie on Thursday evening needing to win to progress to the knockout stages.
But despite losing both of their opening group matches at home, Calderwood has challenged his players to pull their European campaign out of the fire.
"You've got to give it everything you've got, your best shot, and no regrets," he told the club's official website.
"You've got to look in the mirror after the game if you have lost and say, 'I've given everything, I couldn't do anything else'.
"We're 90 minutes away from a wonderful achievement and hopefully we can take that chance.
"We're still in there and the last thing I want is any regrets.
"If they're better than us or the referee makes a bad decision and we lose the game then we can accept that, but you can't accept not giving everything you've got."
