Fixture amendments over the festive period announced

Five of Aberdeen' Scottish Premiership matches over the winter period have been amended for various reasons.

Kick-off against Rangers at Pittodrie on Wednesday, 30 October has been pushed back 15 minutes until 20:00, while the visit of Dundee on Saturday, 9 November has been moved to a 17:30 kick-off - rather than 15:00 - at the request of both clubs.

Jimmy Thelin's first trip to Easter Road has been shifted due to the Dons participation in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final, and will now take place on Tuesday, 26 November at 19:45.

And Aberdeen kick off December with back-to-back games on the television.

Their trip to Tynecastle on Sunday, 1 December will kick-off at 15:00, while three days later they host Celtic at 20:00.
