Now, our attention is forced to turn not to the possibility of European adventures, but making it out of the group stages of the League Cup campaign and the possibility of doing so through matches at Balmoor, Balmoral and the Broch!

And before that, we have to ensure that we're in those from the safety of the  Scottish Premiership and not dragged down into the dreaded depths of play-off territory.

The last time the Dons kept a clean sheet was against Dundee United in the opening game of the season. Since that point optimism and clean sheets have disappeared. Now, Manager Stephen Glass, blaming individual errors for costly concessions has warned his players, if they're not able to cut the mistakes out, someone else from the squad will replace them.

We ask, who might be switched out from the first team with Celtic the next visitors at Pittodrie this coming weekend.

Joe Lewis? David Bates? Ross McCrorie? Are Jack Mackenzie and Calvin Ramsay, the younger breakthrough stars responsible for so much that's been good at times about the team this season, absolved from any kind of blame for the defensive issues?

And what of visitors Celtic, struggling for consistency themselves? The Dons seem to be the team of the past few weeks helping others kick on - St Johnstone who hadn't won a game this season. St Mirren who hadn't won a game this season. 

Is this weekend a chance to finally get our own season going again?
