St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson tells BBC Sportsound: "I want the boys to go in with fighting spirit and determination, and to show some more composure in the game.

"You always have a few ways a game can go [when playing a team with the manager leaving], we obviously just want the three points.

"It'll be a really tough game. Refereeing decisions have cost us recently.

"We’ve got a really good squad so hopefully everyone can stay fit."

Aberdeen reportedly knocked back an offer from Bologna for Calvin Ramsay during the January transfer window.

And it's not window the Italian Serie A side are keen on adding another Scottish full-back to their squad, with Aaron Hickey doing very well over there.

Stephen Glass's reign is over. But Aberdeen fans, who do you want to see replace him?

Jim Goodwin?

Jack Ross?

Neil Lennon?

Paul Lambert?

Derek Adams?

Barry Ferguson (I'm sure that one would go down well with Dons supporters).

Or should the club take a risk on an expensive appointment who may not have great knowledge of the Scottish game, but would come with a great pedigree?

Kjetil Knutsen is in Scotland this week with Celtic's European Conference League opponents Bodo/Glimt.

Here's one - Slavisa Jokanovic. The Serbian is a free agent after leaving Sheffield United in November. A title winner in his homeland and Thailand, and led Watford and Fulham to promotion from the English Championship.

St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson makes four changes from the 2-1 defeat to St Mirren last week which knocked them back down to the foot of the Scottish Premiership table.

Missing is Cammy MacPherson, who is out long term with a dislocated shoulder, and forwards Chris Kane and Nadir Ciftci.

Murray Davidson also doesn't make the squad, while defenders Tom Sang and Tony Gallagher are dropped to the bench.

Callum Booth does return in the back line along with James Brown, and midfielders Jacob Butterfield and Melker Hallberg start.

Aberdeen interim boss Barry Robson has freshened things up for his first match in charge, with five changes to the side that started the 2-1 Scottish Cup defeat to Motherwell.

Goalkeeper Joe Lewis is back in place of Gary Woods.

Also coming in are full-backs Calvin Ramsay and Jack Mackenzie, 19-year-old midfielder Connor Barron who makes his first start for the club, and winger Matty Kennedy.

Ross McCrorie misses out after being injured at Fir Park, and Funso Ojo, Vicent Besuijen and Celtioc loanee Adam Montgomery all drop to the bench.

Welcome to tonight's coverage of Aberdeen against St Johnstone.

Not wishing to undersell the game, but these games are not known for their goals - it has been two tight 1-0 wins for either side in the two clashes already this season.

But, it is a huge three points on offer.

Aberdeen, in their first game after relieving Stephen Glass of his managerial duties, still have their eye on a European place. St Johnstone though, who are bottom of the league, could drag them into the relegation zone if they can repeat their Pittodrie win from earlier in the season.
