They also had their best season to date in the Scottish Cup, going all the way to the semi-final but losing 0–1 to Celtic.
Notable new signings included Donald Colman from Motherwell.
In this season, Willie Lennie became the first Aberdeen player to be capped for Scotland when he played against Wales in March 1908.
