Dons boss Jimmy Thelin had a dream start to life in the SPFL, but is now going through his first sticky patch - with Aberdeen having just two wins in their last 10 games.

It has seen the Reds lose their grip on second spot in the table with Jim Goodwin's Dundee United closing in fast for third.

While first choice keeper Dimitar Mitov's return came as a boost to the team, they were battered 4-0 after a woeful defeat to Kilmarnock on Boxing Day.
