BARRY ROBSON admits Storm Babet has swept Aberdeen's preparations pre-match off course.
The Dons manager was unable to put his players, some of whom had just returned from international duty, through their paces yesterday at the club's Cormack Park base.
High winds and torrential rain battered the north east as Robson and Co retreated inside to do some pre-match analysis instead, while sorting out indoor facilities in case storm conditions continue.
Robson said: "It's never easy but everyone will be the same.
"Obviously we'd have liked to have been on the training pitch but we also have to be mindful of seven players coming back from different countries, coming in at different times. We'd have tried to do part of our tactical recovery on the training pitch but had to do it indoors on analysis instead. Obviously the weather wasn't conducive to training, you couldn't even get out the door.
