Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov is ruled out for up to six weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Mitov, 27, was replaced by Ross Doohan, 26, at half-time of Sunday's 1-1 Scottish Premiership draw with Hearts at Tynecastle.

"A scan has revealed the goalkeeper has suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for up to six weeks," the club said on X.

"We wish Dimi a speedy recovery."

The Bulgaria international has made 20 appearances since joining Aberdeen from St Johnstone in June, recording seven clean sheets.

Jimmy Thelin's Dons host Premiership leaders Celtic on Wednesday (20:00 GMT). Aberdeen, having played a game more, trail Brendan Rodgers' side by four points.
