Aberdeen’s Europa League trip to Slovenia to face Maribor has been delayed today.
Two weeks ago the flight to Latvia for the match against Ventspils was delayed by six hours when a bird flew into the plane’s engine en route to Aberdeen and a replacement plane, which had flown the Hibs squad to Copenhagen, Denmark, had to divert to the Granite City.
Today’s trip to Slovenia – a flight of less than three hours – is expected to be delayed by around an hour.
