Aberdeen are planning to trial Saturday night Premiership football when Hibs visit Pittodrie in March. The last time the Dons played in the league at Pittodrie on a Saturday evening was against Rangers in January 2002 in a 5.35pm kick-off for Sky Sports TV coverage and the game was stopped for 16 minutes because of crowd trouble. The Easter Road outfit are thought to be concerned over travel arrangements to and from the Granite City for their fans. Cormack’s previously stated: “I would like to see us try a Saturday night kick-off. “There are thousands of people in Aberdeen who play amateur or youth football and rightly so in the city.”The SPFL and Police Scotland would also have to approve the plan.
