On 5 December, the Dons won against Rangers at Ibrox with Scott McKenna scoring the only goal and having to play for almost 60 minutes with 10 men after Sam Cosgrove was wrongfully dismissed. A few days after the match, Connor McLennan signed a new deal until 2021.
Although the Dons lost their next match to St Johnstone, after this they had back-to-back wins against newly-promoted clubs Livingston and St Mirren respectively, propelling the Dons to a season-high so far of fourth in the table. Sam Cosgrove's booking against Livingston for 'diving' was later rescinded. On 21 December, despite holding talks over an extended stay, Max Lowe returned to his parent club Derby County in January.
After the comfortable 2–0 win over Hearts, the two managers had a spat beginning with Craig Levein claiming after the match they should have had 2 penalties. McInnes responded saying they "moan about this and that" but "the best team won". Levein then claimed McInnes of "double standards" and him talking "tripe" and said he was "crying like a baby" in a phone conversation. McInnes then responded again after the 4–3 defeat to Celtic saying Levein was "irrational and childish".
The Dons completed the year with a win against Livingston, placing fourth in the table. It was also announced the club will have their winter training camp again in Dubai.

On 8 January, Greg Tansey had his contract terminated with the club and later that day signed for St Mirren.

The Dons concluded their winter training camp in Dubai with a 2–0 friendly win against Dibba Al Hisn, with Sam Cosgrove scoring both goals.
On 17 January, Max Lowe rejoined the Dons on loan from Derby County until the end of the season.

Both players, however, were fit to play in the next match in what was a pulsating 4–2 home defeat to Rangers, with Alfredo Morelos (who was later given a 3 match ban after an appeal) and Scott McKenna clashing with both men being sent off. It was the third time Morelos had been sent off against Aberdeen this season. Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor was also given a possible 2 match ban for 'kicking' Lewis Ferguson. McGregor was then given the 2 match ban.

Assistant head coach Tony Docherty was sent to the stand at half time and during the second half, manager Derek McInnes was also sent to the stand for appearing to hurl abuse at the Celtic fans, after they had allegedly sung a sectarian song about him.
