Not even the two Rangers league matches in 2012-13 could produce as big a crowd as Saturday’s, and it proved to be a special occasion for the Moray club.
Aberdeen proved too strong on the day, managing their first win in 13 matches.
Man of the match Shayden Morris opened the scoring on 21 minutes, Duk’s headed effort which didn’t appear to cross the line made it 2-0 on 72 minutes and Duk added a third late on.
