When Ayoub Mouloua hammered home Aberdeen's third goal in their 4-0 rout of Motherwell in Lanarkshire, you couldn't help but think of the late Hicham Zerouali. Zerouali provided a light during a dark period for Aberdeen upon his arrival under Ebbe Skovdahl in 1999 and scored some magnificent goals for the Dons. Among them was a thunderous strike at Fir Park into the top left corner in front of the stadium's south stand.
