Aberdeen edge out St Mirren

Aberdeen remain on course to book a Europa League place after winning 1-0 away to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen remain on course to qualify for the Europa League after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon.

Derek McInnes's men remain second in the table after Adam Rooney's 79th-minute penalty secured victory.

The visitors started much the better of the two sides and could have gone ahead inside 10 minutes through Shaleum Logan, whose long-range effort whistled wide of the post.

Rooney fired the Dons ahead with 10 minutes remaining in the contest from the penalty spot, sending Marion Kello the wrong way.

However, the home team spurned a good chance to snatch a point in the dying stages, but goalkeeper Jamie Langfield denied Gregg Wylde's fierce volley from close range.
