Luis 'Duk' Lopes netted his 18th goal in all competitions to send Aberdeen ahead in DingwallResurgent Aberdeen notched up their sixth win in a row to move five points clear of Hearts in third place as struggling Ross County were beaten in the Scottish Premiership.
Luis 'Duk' Lopes guided in the only goal of the game in the Highlands as the visitors continued their impressive revival under Barry Robson.
But the visitors survived a late bombardment after captain Graeme Shinnie's injury-time red card.
County remain in 11th place.
The hosts, who started brightly, rarely tested Kelle Roos in the Aberdeen goal, and could finish the weekend bottom of the table if Dundee United defeat Motherwell on Saturday.
More to follow.
