In Northern Goal's final episode of 2020, our panel discuss Aberdeen's strong league position going into the new year and ask why they aren't playing the free-flowing football to go with it. Two games into the John Hughes era, Andy Skinner says whether he thinks their current winless and goalless run will end soon. There's also a preview chat ahead of Cove Rangers v Peterhead and reaction to a superb weekend in Scottish Cup action for the Highland League clubs.

This week on Northern Goal, we discuss whether refereeing decisions or poor performances were to blame for Aberdeen’s poor run continuing at St Mirren. We look at this weekend’s clash with Ross County and whether the still-confident Staggies can win at Pittodrie for the second time in 2020. There’s also drooling over Caley Thistle’s goals at Queen of the South and an assessment of Brora Rangers boss Steven Mackay’s playing career.
