Cape Verde international international Duk is also in the team having netted 18 goals in all competitions this season.

Roos kept 13 clean sheets in 31 league matches, playing a key role in Aberdeen securing a third placed finish.

The 31-year-old made 105 saves in the league – only Ross County’s Ross Laidlaw made more, with the Staggies’ shot-stopper playing seven more Premiership matches than Roos.

Signed from Portuguese giants Benfica last summer Duk, 23, netted sensational goals against Ross County and Dundee United.

Duk scored 16 goals in 37 Premiership appearances, with his displays earning him the Player of the Month award for March.
