Match Summary: Aberdeen 4 - 2 Hibernian

Now, that's more like it. Scott Vernon continued his goal-scoring prowess and Maguire and Mackie each did their part to secure the points and ruin Colin Calderwood's opener as Hibs' manager. Sone Aluko showed why I tipped him in the preseason to surprise for the Dons.

The points merely held Aberdeen at eighth in the table, but in this case the match was honestly worth much more than three points (the first gained since 21 August) as hopefully the lads can continue forward with increased confidence.  As long as health concerns do not manifest themselves, I still see this as a top-six side, able to surprise when motivated and certainly produce football that is worth watching. Consistency is what matters now, and for that McGhee must keep his charges on the right foot.
