Stephen Robinson’s Red Army to take over Dundee as Aberdeen fans set to storm two Dens stands The Dons have made a 100 per cent start to the season in the League Cup and Premiership Unbeaten Aberdeen are set to take more than 4,000 fans to Dundee this weekend. The Dons are expected to sell out their initial 3,000 allocation, with the remaining tickets in the Bob Shankly stand are set to go today. The Red Army is also set to take a further 1,500 tickets in the Main Stand at Dens Park – and all those tickets are expected to sell out before Saturday’s game. The Aberdeen support is back onside again. Stephen Robinson has made wholesale changes to his Dons’ squad over the summer. That has brought a real sense of anticipation. The no-nonsense manager has brought in Lewis Mayo, Brad Lyons, Marius Muller, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Dan Happe, Chris Cadden, Alex Briedl, Connor Ronan, Toyosi Olusanya, Lewis Smith, Tony Yogane and Ayoub Mouloua. Robinson had vowed to revamp his squad and build one that would consistently be in the top six, after last season’s bottom-end struggles. The feel-good factor at Pittodrie has been added to by their 100 per cent start to the new season. Aberdeen won all four games in the Premier Sports Cup. They won away at Brora Rangers and Queen of the South. They also beat Kelty Hearts and Queen’s Park at home to top their group and book a last 16 place at home to Dundee later this month. Aberdeen then opened their Premiership campaign with a dramatic late, comeback win over Hearts. They will be hoping for a similar run to a couple of seasons ago under previous boss Jimmy Thelin. They won 10 games out of 11 and the other game was a 2-2 draw at Celtic Park.
