Aberdeen and Ross County join Kilmarnock in the last eight of the Premier Sports Cup.

There's one more place to be decided today as Dundee United host Celtic.

Team news coming right up.

Three and easy for Aberdeen with Kevin Nisbet scoring either side of debutant Mitchy Ntelo's strike to book the Dons' place in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals.

Dundee had their moments, particularly in the first half, but they could not replicate last week's dominant 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over Aberdeen at Dens Park.

It's all over at East End Park as Ross County, deservedly, progress to the next round.

After a goalless first half, Jamie Lindsay got the visitors up and running with a header.

Dunfermline were back level with just over 10 minutes to play thanks to Allan Oyirworth's tap in at the back post.

But Richard Chin came to the rescue for Stuart Kettlewell's side when he rifled an impressive strike into the top corner to secure the victory.

This Aberdeen performance has been night and day compared to what they served up at Dens Park just a week ago.

A real intensity and a good tempo all over the park.

Stuart Armstrong fancies a goal and the veteran Aberdeen midfielder does well to turn and shoot only to see the ball rebound off the post before Ryan Astley clears.

Andrew Tod almost puts the Pars in front but his header is just wide.

Dunfermline have been buoyed by that equaliser and look desperate for another goal.

Ryan Finnigan got a bit of welly behind that shot and Marius Muller is at full-stretch to keep his Aberdeen clean sheet intact.

Kevin Nisbet is up to nine goals.

It's been a strong start to the season for the Aberdeen skipper.

Could a return to the Scotland squad be on the cards for the 29-year-old?

We might have a replacement for Steve Clarke very soon...

Sebastien Pocognoli appears to be the frontrunner.

Big applause for scorer Mitchy Ntelo as he is replaced by Stuart Armstrong.

Alexander Briedl is also off the Aberdeen bench as Connor Ronan makes way.

Substitute Josh Cooper has a decent chance for the hosts and forces a strong stop from goalkeeper Brad Foster.

Up the other end, Connor Randall does the same for the visitors after skipping past several Dunfermline players.

Brian Graham cuts in from the left and forces another good stop from Dunfermline goalkeeper Aston Oxborough, winning his side a corner in the process.

It comes to nothing though.

No changes in personnel as the second half gets started at Pittodrie.

It's been a brilliant game and it's finely in the balance. We've had everything but goals, even a rabona from a goalkeeper!

Aberdeen are much improved, but Dundee are well in it.

When a player goes down like that, with no opponent near him, you always fear the worst. I'm hoping we get better news on Simon Murray's injury.

A sharp re-start at East End Park and the second half is under way.
