Want to see exactly how Aberdeen overtook Hibs to move into third in the Premiership? Well, you can on Sportscene tonight on the BBC Scotland channel.

Well worth it for Lewis Ferguson's screamer of a goal for aberdeen alone!

Jonathan Sutherland is your host, with Jamie Lyall supplying the commentary from Pittodrie.

The highlights will also be available on the BBC Sport website from midnight.

Derek McInnes says he's delighted with the progress of his side going into what he describes as "two huge games", at home to second-top Celtic on Sunday then entertaining fourth-placed Hibs on 6 November.

For Brian Rice, he has to gather his side and stop the leak of goals as prepare to visit second-bottom St Mirren, who have their own troubles at the moment with Covid-19 absentees.

Before then, of course, join us for coverage of Thursday's Europa League ties, with Celtic entertaining AC Milan and Rangers away to Standard Liege.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "Very pleased, first-half performance in particular was terrific.

"It was a good array of goals. We got a penalty box goal, a set play goal, a shot from distance - everything that wasn't there on Saturday.

"We got a set play goal, which pleased me because we've not had enough of them this season. Edmundson getting two goals, for a young boy leading the line, I thought he was terrific and Ferguson - what a goal.

"Credit to Hamilton, they might be bottom of the league, but they are top on spirit."

Perhaps not surprisingly, your man of the match is two-goal Aberdeen striker Ryan Edmondson.

Hamilton head coach Brian Rice tells BBC Sportsound: "For 20 minutes, we went through a crazy spell, found ourselves completely out the game and then, it's hard to explain, we come right into it, get ourselves two goals and second half we pushed them all the way.

"That was two completely different teams out there for me.

"A couple of the Aberdeen goals, we could've done better. Second half was probably the best we've played this season. But it's after the horse has bolted."

Former Celtic and Rangers midfielder Liam Burt was a surprise guest at Pittodrie this evening, which will fuel rumours of interest in the 21-year-old from Aberdeen.

Burt, who also had a trial with Sunderland, trained with Barnsley last month and scored three times in friendlies against Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County. However, a permanent contract did not materialise for the player released by Celtic this summer.

How long can Accies head coach Brian Rice continue with his more adventurous playing style?

He's trying to have them playing a passing game, but that's 17 goals they've conceded in their latest five games.

Their only win in seven games has come in the League Cup at home to Championship side Ayr United and they have lost five of them.

This latest high-scoring defeat means they are further behind St Mirren on goal difference at the foot of the table having played a game more.

Dark clouds over Hamilton.

Where Aberdeen were wasteful in front of goal on Saturday in the goalless draw with Dundee United, they were clinical against Accies.

That's four games unbeaten, three of them victories, nine goals in the three other than the one at Tannadice and now Derek McInnes' side are only three points behind second-top Celtic.

Ryan Edmondson's double in his first start on loan from Leeds comes at a time when fellow striker Sam Cosgrove makes the bench for the first time since February while Matty Kennedy and Greg Leigh also return from injury.

It's all coming up roses for Aberdeen in time for two big games to come - against Celtic and fourth-placed Hibs.

Aberdeen ease to victory to move a point above Hibs into third place in the Premiership and with a game in hand still to come.

Hamilton are stuck at the bottom of the table.

It was all too easy for the Dons, with three goals in the first 24 minutes - the second time in two games that Accies have had to come back from such a deficit in a matter of days.

Hamilton did mount a mini fightback again, as they did against St Johnstone, but it was too little, too late.

A Niall McGinn header and Lewis Ferguson shot are deflected clear in front of goal as Aberdeen look to put some icing on the cake.

Hakeem Odoffin tries to be a bit too clever in defence - not for the first time tonight - and has to down Niall McGinn after losing control.

A booking for the defender.

We are moving into stoppage time and it looks like Aberdeen are heading for victory.

Another change for Aberdeen as Derek McInnes looks to see out time, with winger Niall McGinn on for Scott Wright.

A booking for Aberdeen substitute Connor McLennan for a late challenge as the game seems to be out of Accies' reach now.
