Andrew Considine returns to the Aberdeen squad after injury as the Dons travel to face Hearts.
The Dons centre-back last featured for Derek McInnes ' side in their Scottish Cup quarter-final victory over Rangers several weeks ago.
The 31-year-old missed his team's draw with Livingston before the international break with a calf injury.
And while McInnes wants his side to keep securing wins in the Premiership, the Dons boss admits success in the Scottish Cup is the main aim for his side in the final few games of the season.
He said: “The players give so much all year-long and ultimately you want a reward at the end of it.

“We have finished second time and time again but when we have never had a cup final to look forward to then it doesn’t feel like the season you would want it to be because sometimes the cups can define your season.”
Gary Mackay-Steven (calf) and Shay Logan (ankle) are both out until after the Premiership split.
Both Lewis Ferguson and Connor McLennan picked up knocks while on international duty with Scotland's under-21 side, but the pair are expected to make return for the tie against the Jambos.
Long-term absentees Tommie Hoban (knee) and Frank Ross (back) are also missing.
