Utterly pointless stat.

Hearts are the designated home team for the semi, and they don't usually allow maroon & red to be worn together (even though they likely wouldn't clash), so safe to say we'll be in either the black & gold, or the granite strip.

Aberdeen have - at least as far as I am aware - never won a semi-final at Hampden wearing their away strip.

1994 SC semi: Drew 1-1 with Dundee United at Hampden (conceded last minute). In the replay, this time we were back in the red while United wore their away strip, but we lost 1-0.

1996 SC semi: Lost 2-1 to Hearts (both teams wore away strips).

2008 LC semi: Lost 4-1 to Dundee United (was at Tynecastle rather than Hampden).

2018 SC semi: Lost 3-0 to Motherwell at Hampden wearing a blue kit.

So the question is, have we ever won a semi (or final) at Hampden wearing an away strip?

 

It should be said - we have won at least one semi-final in an away strip. In 1947 we beat Hearts at Easter Road in the League Cup semi, while wearing an unusual blue top with white sleeves.

You bastard. Do you know how much I had to drink to remove those games from my memory and you have to go and bring them back up again. 
 

I am now going to have spend my day off drowning the memories in drink again. I hope you are happy.

Not at hampden but 1990 scottish cup semi at tynecastle was a victory in the white away kit

Early thoughts.

Hopefully Tobers fit for this. Dorrington not a bad player but his second half v Rangers shows he still has a lot to learn.

I'd like to see Sokler start ahead of Gueye, his pace would suit the big Hampden pitch more.
