Should be two for the Dons as their two substitutes combine immediately.

A Kevin Nisbet shot is spilled by goalkeeper Josh Rae.

Graeme Shinnie pounces to lay it back to Nisbet, who finds Jesper Karlsson in plenty of space in front of goal.

However, the forward delays his shot and it is deflected over.

Double change for the Dons

On-loan Bologna forward Jesper Karlsson and captain Graeme Shinnie are on.

Stuart Armstrong and Nicolas Milanovic are off.

Aberdeen striker Kevin Nisbet is screaming for a penalty following a Mitchel Frame cross.

However, we play on.

Aberdeen have made a wee change.

Armstrong had dropped back to make a two with Clarkson to try to draw Raith out.

Cameron is playing a bit higher up.

So close to an early second.

Nick Devlin's low cross takes a deflection off a visiting boot and a combination of goalkeeper Josh Rae and the front post prevents the Dons extending their lead.

Aberdeen get the second half under way and interim boss makes a change.

Mitchel Frame, the left-back signed from Celtic in the summer, replaces Emmanuel Gyamfi to make his debut.

It did click in the early stages [for Aberdeen]. They started brightly with loads of energy and intent to take control of the game, which they did.

They managed to get themselves in front, but since then it’s been Raith Rovers getting into the game because it’s been more direct and not trying to build out.

It hasn’t given Aberdeen much encouragement. At the start, Aberdeen were forcing them into defensive positions but haven’t been able to sustain it.

Aberdeen haven’t managed to take control, but it’s still 1-0 and they would have taken that before the game.

Raith Rovers have grown into the game. Aberdeen had a good start and they got their goal, while Raith were struggling to find their feet.

Since then, they’ve been great. They’ve looked really dangerous, created opportunities and pressed really well.

They’ve also shown a lot of composure on the ball.

The replays don't seem to show there was a hand ball.

But it stood and Jack Milne has his first goal for Aberdeen.

But there have been errors that the visitors are unfortunate not to have taken advantage of.

And Raith Rovers are still very much in this game.

Jack Milne's first goal for Aberdeen has the Scottish Cup holders ahead at the break.

The centre-back's early strike was reward for early dominance.

But the second-tier visitors are well in the game and are perhaps unfortunate not to be level after a couple of awkward moments in the home defence nearly led to own goals.

That shot almost left Nicky Devlin out cold.

But the Aberdeen defender is up and battling again as we enter two minutes of stoppage time and winger Topi Keskinen sends a low drive straight at goalkeeper Josh Rae.

I feel a wee bit sorry for [Kevin] Nisbet today, because his movement has been really good, but he’s hardly had a kick.

Nisbet has been moving on the counter-attack and his team-mates aren’t finding him.

You can see he’s getting a wee bit frustrated because he’s occupying the two centre-halves and Aberdeen haven’t got him on the ball.

If they can get more into him and play off him then they should get more joy.

Another half chance for Ewan Wilson.

But Nicolas Milanovic just manages to step in front of the Rovers defender in front of goal.

From the corner, the ball falls to Wilson, but Nicky Devlin blocks the shot.

The pressure is not over as Josh Mullin's curling effort is saved comfortably by goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov.

Tony Docherty
Former Aberdeen assistant on BBC Scotland

Raith had a really good start under Barry Robson and then it dropped quite significantly.

I'm impressed by the way they're playing. It's obvious what their tactics are - pressing high, winning second balls in the middle of the pitch.

They've got good players, they're expressing themselves just now and they're giving Aberdeen problems.

Rovers are enjoying a bit of territorial pressure.

A typically clever flick from Dylan Easton gives Ewan Wilson an sight of goal, but the on-loan Motherwell defender slips as he sends his strike well over the crossbar.

Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

On the pitch, it is as poor as I've seen Pittodrie for some time.

It has been in good condition throughout the winter for the last few seasons.

Lyall Cameron's dangerous low cross is only stabbed awkwardly clear by Rovers centre-back Darragh O'Connor.

It falls to Topi Keskinen, but the winger's effort from a difficult angle is fired into the side-netting.

Wasteful from the Finn.

Willie Miller
Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound

There might be noises because he’s come on loan from Rangers and we all know the history between the two clubs.

But, when Cameron puts that red jersey on, if he shows commitment and ability then they will get right behind him.
