The Dons look a team transformed under Jimmy Thelin, who has steered the club to four league wins out of four as part of a record-breaking start to his tenure of nine successive victories. Aberdeen are joint on points with leaders Celtic, four points clear of Dundee United, and the numbers make for fine viewing as well as the football. According to Opta stats, Thelin’s side have created 11 big chances, a tally bettered only by Celtic and Rangers.
