Aberdeen midfielder Barry Robson could make his return from a hip injury against Kilmarnock after being named among the substitutes for the Scottish Premiership clash at Pittodrie Stadium.

Dons manager Derek McInnes continues to keep his faith in attacking football, with David Goodwillie, Adam Rooney and Niall McGinn all starting up front for the hosts.

An injury to Kilmarnock midfielder Sammy Clingan has forced coach Allan Johnston to draft in Craig Slater, while Mark Connolly makes way for Lee Ashcroft at the back.

Meanwhile, former Bolton Wanderers winger Tope Obadeyi has been replaced by Rory McKenzie.

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

Killie: Samson, Hamill, McKenzie, Miller, Ashcroft, Slater, Westlake, Chantler, Magennis, Pascali, Murihead
