Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin believes Ross Doohan has thrived after being thrown in at the deep end this season. Doohan – who joined the Dons from Forest Green Rovers in the summer of 2023 – made just two appearances for the club last season. But the 27 year-old made his 18th appearance of this campaign in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Rangers.

Former Aberdeen striker Lee Miller believes Aberdeen and Hearts will both be feeling the strain to take a step towards Europe ahead of their Scottish Cup semi-final. The disappointment of finishing in the bottom half of the Premiership means it is Scottish Cup glory or bust for the Edinburgh outfit and their hopes of playing European football next season. Miller – who played for both clubs – watched the Jambos’ goalless draw at Motherwell, where his son Lennon plays, on Saturday.

Aberdeen defender Alexander Jensen has vowed Rangers’ injury-time equaliser at Pittodrie on Sunday will not dent Aberdeen’s confidence. The Dons were seconds away from moving up to third place in the Scottish Premiership before Ianis Hagi struck in the sixth minute of stoppage time to rescue a point for 10-man Rangers in a 2-2 draw. It was a blow to Aberdeen, who are in a three-way fight with Hibernian and Dundee United in the race for third place.

Aberdeen will hope to exorcise the demons of their last visit to Hampden by booking their place in the Scottish Cup final this weekend. Dons fans will need no reminding it is the National Stadium where their side’s spectacular start to the season came off the rails in equally incredible fashion in November. Thelin watched his side’s unbeaten start to the campaign crumble in a 6-0 demolition by Celtic in the League Cup semi-final on November 2.

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin said his side’s 2-2 draw with Rangers felt like a defeat after the Dons let a two-goal lead slip at Pittodrie. The Dons were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to goals from Leighton Clarkson and Pape Habib Gueye while the Gers were down to 10 men following the dismissal of Ross McCausland in the 40th minute.
