I dunno though - playing an English team would automatically make Aberdeen play far better than they're capable of, and drawing a giant team like Bayern would also put them up for a hell of a fight, especially considering the history involved. A few seasons back, Aberdeen were seconds away from going into extra time against Hertha Berlin, who were a pretty powerful team at the time if my memory is right.
We've also got a terrible track record against smaller teams - Skonto Riga or Bohemians, anyone? For that, we desperately need a good team to inspire the team.
The worst result for Aberdeen would be to draw a decent (but not noteworthy) team from Eastern Europe who wouldn't bring lots of fans into Pittodrie and would hammer us on their own ground.
