2016–17 Aberdeen F.C. season

Summary

Aberdeen were knocked out of the Europa League by Maribor in the Third qualifying round. They were then boosted when top-scorer from last season Adam Rooney signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2020. Aberdeen reached the League Cup Final but lost 3–0 to Celtic. After the Cup final loss, McInnes became under pressure after a poor run of results in December which included an abandoned match at home against Motherwell. However, the Dons ended 2016 with 3 wins out of their last 3 matches in the year, keeping the same starting line-up in all 3 matches, easing pressure on McInnes. Graeme Shinnie boosted the Dons signing on an extra year to his contract. On 6 February, Niall McGinn was awarded SPFL January Goal of the Month for his goal against Dundee. After 3 bids were rejected in the January transfer window by Cardiff City, on 7 February Jonny Hayes signed a new contract extension to keep him at the club until 2019. On 14 February, Andrew Considine signed a new contract to also keep him at the club until 2019.
