Aberdeen seek four in a row

Aberdeen welcome St Mirren to Pittodrie for a rearranged Scottish Premiership match this evening.

Aberdeen welcome St Mirren to Pittodrie for a rearranged Scottish Premiership match this evening.

Derek McInnes' side are looking for a fourth home win in 11 days after recent victories over Ross County (3-0), Livingston (4-0) and Inverness CT (3-2).

Saints head north on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Celtic on Saturday but they won their last away match in the Premiership against Partick Thistle.

Dons boss McInnes told the club website: "We have carried a goal threat but there are still areas of the performance and areas of the team that we think we can improve on.

"That is something we have got to strive for but what cannot be faulted is the players' focus. There has been a real determination to get results."

St Mirren manager Tommy Craig said: "I think everybody who has been at the games realises that we are not too far away but the ultimate aim of football is scoring more goals and we are falling down badly there - we are working hard to put it right."

The teams last met in February of this year when a late Adam Rooney penalty earned Aberdeen a 1-0 win in Paisley.
