The Jim Goodwin era at Aberdeen officially begins.

Earlier this month, Stephen Glass was sacked as Dons boss with St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin chosen as his successor.

Vicente Besuijen opened the scoring at Fir Park but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.

This result actually means Aberdeen are now winless in seven, dating back to Boxing Day, so remain in eighth place.

The side they’re currently trying to chase is Dundee United as they are fifth, three points above the Dons, occupying the last potential European spot.

The Tangerines held champions Rangers to a 1-1 draw last Sunday with Ross Graham’s header giving the the lead at Tannadice.

This actually means the Arab’s are unbeaten at home to Rangers this season, also beating them 1-0 back in August.

Overall, Tam Courts’ side have only lost one of their last six, a last-gaps defeat at Celtic, so are on course to return to Europe for the first time in a decade.

This game is Sir Alex Ferguson day at Pittodrie with a sell out crowd coming to celebrate their greatest ever manager as well as the new boss.

Will they also be cheering a victory?
