He's specifically mentioned the group stages a couple of times. It will be difficult though, this year is theoretically our best chance, but with what will likely be a transition squad with new players it's not really the best time. Next year, should we qualify for Europe, it gets tougher. I would love to see us in the group stages but it's going to be very difficult. More cup wins is a must. This is by some way the best Dons side I've ever watched and to only have one league cup out of it is disappointing. Considering in that time St Johnstone, Inverness and Hibs have all managed to win the Scottish cup that's got to feel like unfinished business for the Dons.
