The 2019-20 campaign delivered a tense, unfinished season for Aberdeen as The Dons battled their way to a fourth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, a position ultimately decided by average points per game due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leading the charge was the prolific striker Sam Cosgrove, whose spectacular form saw him net 23 goals across all competitions, a tally that included 11 league goals and a heroic European run. It was a turbulent, unforgettable year that secured a coveted European spot for the seventh consecutive season and marked a significant change in leadership at Pittodrie.
