A new season brings fresh hope for Aberdeen as they prepare to get their Scottish Premiership season up and running with a win against Hearts on Saturday. Our sportswriters have made their predictions on how they see the season unfolding at Aberdeen. Ryan CrylePosition: 3rdI was predicting Aberdeen to finish fifth in the Premiership in the build up to their competitive season getting under way in the Premier Sports Cup. I think we could be looking at a top six of: Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Motherwell, Aberdeen and Hibs. I’m backing Aberdeen to finish third, with Connor Ronan, Brad Lyons, Kevin Nisbet, Tony Yogane and Marius Muller all set to play pivotal roles in the campaign.
