The 2020-21 campaign was a season of consolidation and transition for Aberdeen, as The Dons navigated the challenges of a pandemic-affected season and secured a respectable 4th-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, a crucial position to ensure European qualification. The season, which saw the long tenure of Derek McInnes end before Stephen Glass took the helm, was anchored by the immense contributions of midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who finished as the top goalscorer with 10 in all competitions and was voted the club's Young Player of the Year. His stunning strike against Hamilton Academical also secured him an unprecedented third consecutive Goal of the Season award, showcasing the individual brilliance that shone through during a turbulent year that remains a defining chapter of the club's resilience.
