So, read on to find out exactly why you should back Rooney to score first for the hosts in this promising Scottish scuffle…
Clinical Rooney to maintain strong record
Aberdeen currently sit just a single point below St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership table and are ahead of Rangers on goal-difference, meaning a victory here on home soil would propel them into a very promising position at this early stage.
Rooney has showed the form of last season in this current campaign, with three strikes already so far.
Derek McInnes will be confident his team can get the job done at the Pittodrie Stadium, especially with his reliable frontman Rooney being in encouraging form yet again this season.
The deadly Dubliner netted the opener as part of a brace in the thrilling 4-3 fixture win last term, with the attacker having struck past St Johnstone for three successive campaigns. He will look to continue that record tonight, after three goals so far this term.
