Matchday 35 - Livingston v Aberdeen

Frame’s First, Stadium Moves, and the Survival Scrape

19

The “danger zone” is looking smaller in the rearview mirror, but life supporting the Dons is never simple. This week on the AFC DONScast, we dive into a chaotic Friday night in West Lothian where Aberdeen shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Livingston.

Almondvale Action

It was a night of firsts and “what-ifs.” 19-year-old Mitchel Frame stole the headlines with a stunning curled effort, his first-ever senior goal. Despite leading twice thanks to Frame and a forced own goal, a late Robbie Muirhead thunderbolt meant the points were shared. However, with seven points from the last nine available, Stephen Robinson has clearly instilled the “character” and “scrapping” ability required to stabilise the ship.

Off-field Ambition

While the team fights on the pitch, the club is moving forward off it. We discuss the appointment of Nic Heslop as Commercial Director and the significant news that a Memorandum of Understanding for the new beachfront stadium is now with the club’s leadership. Chairman Dave Cormack says a deal is “getting closer” than ever, a potential £1 billion boost for the local economy.

The Final Countdown

With only three matches remaining, Dundee United, St Mirren, and Dundee – the mission is clear: maintain the momentum.
