Summary

edit

August

edit

Aberdeen were knocked out of the Europa League by Maribor in the Third qualifying round.[2]

September

edit

October

edit

November

edit

Aberdeen reached the League Cup Final but lost 3–0 to Celtic.[4]

December

edit

After the Cup final loss, McInnes became under pressure after a poor run of results in December which included an abandoned match at home against Motherwell.[5]

However, the Dons ended 2016 with 3 wins out of their last 3 matches in the year, keeping the same starting line-up in all 3 matches, easing pressure on McInnes.[6]

January

edit

Graeme Shinnie boosted the Dons signing on an extra year to his contract.[7]

February

edit

On 6 February, Niall McGinn was awarded SPFL January Goal of the Month for his goal against Dundee.[8]

After 3 bids were rejected in the January transfer window by Cardiff City, on 7 February Jonny Hayes signed a new contract extension to keep him at the club until 2019.[9]

On 14 February, Andrew Considine signed a new contract to also keep him at the club until 2019.[10]

March

edit

On 9 March, English League One side Milton Keynes Dons announced that Peter Pawlett had signed a pre-contract deal to join the club at the end of the 2016–17 season.[11]

On 29 March, Jonny Hayes earned his first start for Ireland in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Iceland.[12]

On 30 March, Greg Tansey signed a pre-contract 3-year deal to join the club from Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the end of the 2016–17 season.[13]

April

edit

On 7 April, manager Derek McInnes won SPFL March Manager of the Month after reaching the Scottish Cup Semi-final and beating Dundee 7-0.[14]

On 15 April, Aberdeen secured Europa League football for next season with a hard-fought win over St Johnstone in Perth.[15]

On 22 April, Aberdeen reached the Scottish Cup final for the first time in 17 years with victory over holders Hibernian.[16]

May

edit

On 2 May, Jonny Hayes was shortlisted for player of the year in the PFA Scotland awards.[17]

On 4 May, Derek McInnes was shortlisted for manager of the year in the PFA Scotland awards.[18]

On 5 May, Joe Lewis, Shay Logan, Kenny McLean and Jonny Hayes all made the PFA Scotland's Premiership team of the year.[19]

On 7 May, Aberdeen all but secured the Runners-up spot in the Premiership with a 2-1 win against Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Stadium.[20]

On 12 May, Dean Campbell was introduced as a substitute against Celtic, becoming the club's youngest-ever player (a record previously held by Jack Grimmer).[21]

On 17 May, Aberdeen defeated Rangers 2-1 at Ibrox Stadium, their first victory at that stadium since 1991.[22] The result also mathematically confirmed Aberdeen's second place in the final league table.

On 21 May, teenager Scott Wright scored his first senior hat-trick to end the league season with a 6-0 win against Partick Thistle at Firhill.[23]

On 24 May, Derek McInnes announced that Graeme Shinnie would captain the Dons in the Scottish Cup Final,[24] after it was announced that Ryan Jack was leaving the club.[25]

On 27 May, the Dons lost the Scottish Cup Final to Celtic, their sixth, in total, defeat to them this season against what was "The Invincibles".[26][27]
