Team News
Ross County
Aberdeen
- Ross County boss Don Cowie made three changes after the Staggies were embarrassed 1-0 by League Two side Spartans in the Scottish League Cup, before the Staggies were smashed 6-0 by Rangers at Hampden in their return to league action.
- Michee Efete and Akil Wright entered the County defence, at James Brown and Ryan Leak's expense, joining Will Nightingale and George Harmon at left-back. Jack Grieves replaced Noah Chilvers on the right-hand side of midfield.
- Connor Randall and Victor Loturi kept their central berths, with Hearts loanee Aidan Denholm on the left-hand side of midfield. Jordan White and Ronan Hale lead the line for the Staggies at the national stadium last weekend.
- Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin made two changes to the Dons team that snuck past Queen's Park by a sole goal and into the last eight of the Scottish League Cup, before a comfortable 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock at Pittodrie on Sunday.
- Slobodan Rubezic was suspended against the Spiders, but returned at Jack Milne's expense at the back. Nicky Devlin and Jack MacKenzie continued at right-back and left-back respectively as Graeme Shinnie and Sivert Heltne Nilsen sat in front of the back four.
- Shayden Morris made way for Topi Keskinen, who came off the bench to net the winner on his Dons debut against Queen's Park, to start on the right. Jamie McGrath was chosen on the left, as Ester Sokler supported Pape Gueye - who bagged a brace against Killie - in attack.
