Sir Alex Ferguson led the Dons to a famous win over the Bundesliga giants on their way to their 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup success and this season's run to the last 32 has given Calderwood hope of another famous result ahead of their first-leg meeting with the German outfit.

"You never match the achievements but you always try to make your own bit of history. If we can draw with Bayern, or even beat Bayern, then we can make a bit of our own." said Calderwood.

He added: "Wherever you look here you see the history of the great times under Sir Alex," Calderwood said. "I was at Dunfermline and saw photos of Jock Stein everywhere. I should pick an easier one next time."

Calderwood has been boosted by the news that injury doubts Zander Diamond, Darren Mackie, Barry Nicholson and Andrew Considine are available.

Calderwood, however, is still without the injured Derek Young, Jackie McNamara, Jamie Smith, Richard Foster and Richie Byrne, but the spirits have been lifted by the quartet who have declared themselves fit.

The Aberdeen boss added: "We are still missing five big players for us but getting those players back was massive.

"It was always going to be very, very difficult but without nine first-team players nigh on impossible. But they are fit and it brings everyone else up."
