Badly.
Hibs probably won't go down because Dunfermline are useless, though.
Some Rangers casual put a book out that the ASC didn't like, so they went down in larger numbers than normal. Always an ASC presence for games against Rangers, though.
Don't know if Dynamo Berlin or Spurs fans were there, but Aberdeen are friendly with both, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I've no problem if the media want to criticise Aberdeen fans for going for a fight. But they then have to prepared to do the same when Rangers or Celtic come up here for a fight.
No Rangers fan has ever caused trouble at a game, though. It's always Chelsea Headhunters.
And that's aside from the classic weegia refusal to acknowledge Aberdeen and Rangers hated each other prior to 1988.

BBC Scotland's business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser, said the legal moves on Monday surrounding administration would give the club "a few days for negotiations with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)".
The revenue could stand to lose out on any tax due if Mr Whyte chooses to collapse the company.
Mr Whyte is understood to be the club's main secured creditor via a floating charge over its assets.
This would allow him to pursue other avenues such as receivership or pre-pack administration to satisfy the debts which the club owes him.
These would involve transferring Rangers assets out to another company or companies to satisfy outstanding debts to the floating charge holder and leaving the club behind with the debt.
In such scenarios, it would be likely that Rangers FC - formed in 1873 - would be formally wound up.

Not yet, but heading that way.
10 point penalty is all the league rules allow for.
Same thing that has happened to other smaller clubs when in the same situation.
Rangers' problem is that there debt, if they lose their tax case, will largely be to HMRC.
They are much less likely to agree to being paid only an agreed percentage of the debt than other creditors, which is how most clubs avoid going bust.

Nice. 
Aberdeen just had to overcome many years of Cup demons and some rather dubious decisions from the ref.
And I notice Scottish football rules apply even in youth football:
I went along to Aberdeen v Celtic in the Youth Cup on Sunday.
Celtic won 4-1, with the game hinging on two penalty decisions in five minutes when Celtic were 1-0 up - Aberdeen were denied an absolutely 100% certain stonewall penalty, only for Celtic to then be given a penalty for an innocuous collision in the box that didn't even prompt an appeal from Celtic.
Then the ref gave them a second penalty, just to be on the safe side.
It's no wonder Rangers and Celtic produce so few good players if the ref's step in to ensure they aren't even made to work for results at youth level.
