  1. CLOSE!

    Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Great chance for Dundee to equalise as Jesse Curran nutmegs Max Lowe on the right wing and drives a low cross towards the six-yard box.

    Dundee winger Calvin Miller and three Dons defenders all fail to provide the touch that could turn it into goal and the ball trundles wide to safety.

  2. 'Virtual' goalkeeper

    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Joe Lewis has been a virtual spectator. Dundee have struggled, but they look like they're coping with it now as Aberdeen put pressure on them

  3. Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Lewis Ferguson rises to meet a looping corner towards the back post.

    The midfielder's header flashes across the face of goal before being cleared.

    It's all Aberdeen at the moment.

  5. 'Desperate' Dundee

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on Sportsound

    It's last gasp defending from Dundee. It's not what you want. It's desperate defending rather than structured

  6. Dundee 'struggling'

    Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Dundee are struggling to regroup after that goal. Aberdeen are turning it on now. Dundee are working really hard to make sure this game doesn't get away from them

  7. Cosgrove finding form

    Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

    Three goals in three games now for Sam Cosgrove.

    If he keeps getting the kind of ammunition he has been in recent weeks, there will be many more to come.

  8. Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Confidence is oozing from Sam Cosgrove and the big striker fires a low drive from 20 yards that goalkeeper Jack Hamilton has to get down sharply to gather.

  9. Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Aberdeen threaten a second goal and Dundee are thankful that Lewis Ferguson's shot is straight at goalkeeper Jack Hamilton.

  10. Clinical Dons, Dee lose Kusunga

    Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

    A beautiful goal by Aberdeen, the Dons taking full advantage of the extra man while Genseric Kusunga was down injured. He has just gone off too, being replaced with Andy Boyle.

  11. 'Easy' for Cosgrove

    Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    It's all about the cross from McLennan. It was so easy for Cosgrove to put it in the back of the net

    GOAL - Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee

    Sam Cosgrove

    Aberdeen take the lead and it all comes from Dundee's first corner.

    With visiting defender Genseric Kusunga down injured in the Dons penalty area, the home side break clear and, although Cammy Kerr thwarts the first ball into the penalty box, Connor McLennan's cross into the six-yard box finds Sam Cosgrove diving in to head home.

    That's the striker's third goal in three games and Aberdeen are off to a flyer.

  13. No sweet sounds at Pittodrie

    Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    It is very quiet in the stands at the moment at Pittodrie and former Aberdeen player, manager and director of football Willie Miller tells us it could get quieter.

    "Once you can hear the sweetie papers, you know it is a poor game," he suggests.

  14. Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    The first effort on target not surprisingly comes from the home side.

    Graeme Shinnie is pulled down 25 yards from goal, but Lewis Ferguson's driven free-kick is straight at Jack Hamilton and it is no problem for the goalkeepeer.

  15. Settle down boys

    Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    It's been scrappy. Both sides are capable of playing good football. Let's hope it settles down and we get a wee bit of football going.

  16. Dundee here to 'capitalise'

    Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    Just before kick-off, Dundee manager Jim McIntyre told BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound: “There’s a lot of games in December, so we’ve made a couple of changes tonight.

    "We want to come here and get the three points. It’s our game in hand and we want to capitalise on that.

    "We know it’s going to be difficult. From our point of view, it’s about leaving with the points."

  17. Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    Aberdeen immediately have the early pressure.

    Graeme Shinnie wins the ball in midfield and only a good last-ditch challenge by Cammy Kerr denies Sam Cosgrove in front of goal.

    From the corner, Kenny Miller has to hack clear a Stevie May shot across goal at the back post.

  18. Perfect night for football?

    Thankfully, after the monsoon of earlier on, the rain has stopped, the wind has gone – barely a flutter of a corner flag to be seen.

  19. KICK-OFF

    Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

    We're under way in Pittodrie. Will the Dons get a win that could send Dundee bottom as they look to keep pace at the top, or can the visitors take the three points as they look to move clear of bottom side St Mirren?
