Team news ahead of Saturday lunchtime's Scottish Premier League clash between Aberdeen and Hibernian at Pittodrie (kick-off 12pm).

Aberdeen wingers Ryan Fraser and Jonny Hayes will both have morning fitness tests ahead of the game.

Fraser missed the midweek victory over Dunfermline with a knock and Hayes picked up an injury at East End Park.

Rory Fallon underwent an operation on a stomach muscle problem today and Gary Naysmith (hamstring) remains out but Rob Milsom is available after knee problems.

Striker Leigh Griffiths is set to return for Hibernian.

Griffiths missed the 2-2 draw against Inverness with an ankle injury but resumed full training on Thursday.

Former Carlisle midfielder Tom Taiwo is pushing for involvement in the squad after working on his fitness.
