October

Having lost five league games in a row, Glass was under pressure but was eased with wins against both Edinburgh clubs and were unlucky not to win at Ibrox.

After three wins, the Dons lost at Easter Road to a Ryan Porteous goal, but during the match he was involved in an incident with Dons forward Ramirez for which he was later given a three match ban.^[8] Young full back Jack MacKenzie signed a new contract.^[9] The year ended prematurely due to the Covid variant Omicron and the club were forced to play in front of 500 fans against Dundee on Boxing Day as the Dens Park side struggled to field a team.^[10]^[11]

The club descended to 10th place in the league.^[20]

April

It was revealed that long-serving defender and former Club Captain Andrew Considine would leave at the end of the season after rejecting the offer of a new deal on reduced terms.^[21] Michael Devlin and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas had their contracts terminated and left the club.^[22]^[23] A home defeat to Ross County consigned Aberdeen to a place in the bottom 6 of the league, failing to qualify for European competition for the first time since 2012-13.^[24] The team's first clean sheet in the league since December 2021 came in a 1–0 win against bottom placed Dundee.

May
