History of the Aberdeen v Kilmarnock fixture

Aberdeen prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dons are clearly on top, having won 53 and lost only 19 of the 91 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
