The 2003-04 campaign was a season of deep frustration for Aberdeen as The Dons slumped to a disappointing 11th-place finish in the Scottish Premier League. This outcome placed the club firmly in the bottom six after the league split, marking one of their most difficult starts to a league campaign in decades. Veteran striker Scott Booth led the line, registering 8 goals in a season where attacking spark was often sorely missed by the Red Army. It was a difficult year that failed to live up to the high standards of the club and remains an uncomfortable chapter in the history of The Dons.
