Tracing their roots back to 1903, Aberdeen have cemented their place in the annals of Scottish football. Their fortress, Pittodrie Stadium, has been the scene of many a trial and triumph.
The current squad of the Dons, the name lovingly coined by their devoted followers, brandishes a price tag of approximately £16m, as according to Transfermarkt. The team is made up of a balanced mix of 25 seasoned and fresh footballers, all hovering around the mean age of 25 -- a promising prospect when considering the potential years of service.
As for the current season, fervour and commitment have been the watchwords for Aberdeen. Their campaign in Scotland's top-flight, the Premiership, has seen them presently holding 4th place. Meanwhile, parading their prowess in domestic cup competitions, they danced through to the Semi-Finals of the League Cup, demonstrating no slight feat. Their endeavour in the Scottish Cup, however, has only borne fruition until the Fourth Round, testament to the unpredictability of knockout competitions.
