Kilmarnock will be without midfielder Sammy Clingan, while captain Manuel Pascali is still out with a broken leg.

Striker Kris Boyd, who has agreed a new one-year deal with Killie, may start despite of a lack of pre-season action.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "We have got what a lot of clubs haven't got, a real volume of support.

"The support have shown good backing for us in terms of numbers. We have got to use that to our advantage, we have got to use that for our cause for this season. It would be foolish not to.

"The players will be ready to perform for them every Saturday at three o'clock, they will be full of energy, they will be full of commitment and they will play the game the way the support expects them to play.

"All we ask is that if things aren't going so well at times, stay with the team because the players will be doing their best to get the result that we all want."

Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston: "Kris will be in contention to play tomorrow. Someone of his quality has to be in contention for a place and hopefully we can get him involved at some point.

"We have got to bring in four or five players. We came in a wee bit late and it has taken time to get to know the squad and asses what positions we need, and also to get people in as well.

"Hopefully we can get the ones we're looking at in before the end of the transfer window."
