Matchday 27 - Dundee Utd / Matchday 28 - Hearts

About this episode

The episode discusses Aberdeen's recent matches against Dundee United and Hearts, along with coaching changes and fan engagement initiatives.

We have officially crossed into March, which means the gloves are off and the business end of the Scottish Premiership season is well and truly upon us. Coming up on today's episode, we are unpacking a highly frustrating week on the road for Aberdeen. We cover: A gritty, goalless draw on a winter-battered pitch at Tannadice against Dundee United, including that Kevin Nisbet miss. A tough afternoon in the capital that saw the Dons fall 1-0 to Hearts at Tynecastle, leaving top-six dreams hanging by a thread. The appointment of Ian Burchnall as the new First Team Coach to support Peter Leven. A massive new ticketing and fan experience partnership with American tech company 'Jump'. The launch of the 2026/27 season tickets and the impending departure of 19-year-old striker Alfie Bavidge. Plus, we dip into the DonsTalk forum to hear exactly what you have to say about the current state of play.
