Assistant Marvin Bartley will be in charge at Pittodrie for the club's first bottom-six fixture, but the former midfielder will be in the stand as he himself is serving a touchline ban.

Livingston say first-team coach Neil Hastings will "oversee things from pitch side".

The side missed out on a top-six finish following a late Motherwell equaliser last time out as Aberdeen fell short after a home loss to Ross County.

The visitors arrive two points and one place above Aberdeen, who sit ninth, six points clear of St Johnstone in the relegation play-off spot.
