We’re back to league duty and back to Pittodrie on Saturday, with John McGlynn’s Falkirk in the North-east.
Saturday 3pm at Pittodrie
Tickets for this weekend’s fixture are available online now.
A new face in ABZ
AFC history will be made on Saturday when new head coach Stephen Robinson takes to the Pittodrie home dugout for the first time.
Robinson was appointed during the week and will be joined by Brian Kerr.
The Opposition
It’s been a return to the top-flight to remember for the Bairns who are within touching distance of securing a top six finish for the first time since 1994/95.
Victory over Dundee United last time out also secured their place at Hampden for the Scottish Cup Semi-finals.
Their last Premiership outing saw them defeat Kilmarnock 5-1 to arrest a run of two defeats on the bounce prior. Striker Barney Stewart has been a man in form, the former Dunfermline forward netted twice against Killie before also finding the net after ten minutes against Falkirk in the Cup.

In the archives
Darren Mackie is pictured celebrating after netting the opener in a 2-1 win over Falkirk in December 2006.
The Dons raced into a two goal lead at half-time thanks to Mackie’s opener and a Chris Clark strike, before seeing the game out in the second half to claim all three points after Alan Gow netted for the away side.
From the press room
“We will give everything on the pitch and when everyone pulls together: players, staff, and fans, we give ourselves the best chance of getting the result we all want, starting on Saturday.” New Head Coach Stephen Robinson speaking at Pittodrie on Thursday.
