For the first time since 2012/13, Aberdeen are playing bottom six football following the split after, what’s been, a very disappointing season.

The Dons had finished second, third or fourth in each of the last eight seasons, qualifying for Europe each time, but that won’t be the case this time round.

This means, under Goodwin, they’ve won just one of seven matches so sit ninth in the table.

Livingston meanwhile finished fifth and sixth the last two seasons, but also missed out on the top half on the final day prior to the split.

The Lions raced into a 2-0 lead at home to Motherwell, Odin Bailey and Alan Forrest scoring, but collapsed and drew 2-2.

This ensuring the Well were the right side of the divide with Davie Martindale’s men missing out.

So, both are really just looking to stay clear of relegation trouble now.

Will there be a winner at Pittodrie?

Christian Ramirez has been a rare bright spark at Aberdeen this season, scoring 15 goals since making the move from LAFC.

Highly-rated teenaged right-back Calvin Ramsay could return to the XI here with Funso Ojo thereby reverting to midfield.

Only one player has scored more Premiership goals this season than Bruce Anderson who left Aberdeen for Almondvale last summer.

However, he’s currently out with an ankle injury, meaning Joel Nouble will continue to deputise.
