A busy week comes to an end for Aberdeen with another trip to Edinburgh as they look for their first Premiership victory in three games against Hearts on Sunday.

The Dons suffered their first league defeat of the season last Sunday against St Mirren, before dropping points once again in a bonkers clash with Hibs at Easter Road.

Three injury-time goals left both sides settling for a point after a 3-3 draw, and Jimmy Thelin will be hoping for more fortune in the capital this weekend when he looks to end Aberdeen's seven-year winless run in Gorgie.
