The Dons finished in the bottom six after a tough campaign, and will be kicking off their bid to secure top flight safety with a clash against Motherwell at Pittodrie.

Victory over the Steelmen and a defeat for Ross County against Livingston will move the Reds eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot and closer to safety.

When is Aberdeen v Motherwell?

The Dons will host Motherwell on Saturday, April 27 at Pittodrie in their fourth and final clash of the season.
