Aberdeen have named an unchanged starting XI to face Dundee in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon.

Midfielder Willo Flood returns to the Dons squad after a family bereavement, but has been made to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench.

Dundee were handed some good news ahead of kickoff as right-back Gary Irvine was passed fit to face table-topping Aberdeen, having previously been rated doubtful.

Midfielder Jim McAlister also shrugged off a knock to take up his place in the starting lineup, while Simon Ferry was adjudged fit enough for a spot on the bench.

Aberdeen: Brown, Logan, Taylor, Reynolds, Considine, McGinn, Pawlett, Jack, Hayes, Goodwillie, Rooney

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, Gadzhalov, Davidson, Irvine, Thomson, McAlister, Harris, Harkins, Stewart, Tankulic
