As Club Captain let me tell you that we are absolutely gutted missing out on the play-off round of the Europa League. We know that we need to bounce back and are determined to return to Europe again. To do so we have to be at our best in the League, starting this Sunday.

The Scottish Premiership promises to be its most competitive in years.  Trust me, we are absolutely up for the challenge. Atmospheres like the home game against Apollon, where 20,000 Dons fans inspired all of us and intimidated the opposition, make a real difference. Being born and bred in Aberdeen, I’m honoured to be your Captain, and I’ll never forget 20,000 Dons fans singing my name after scoring the second goal last week.

To the 20,000 fans that turned up for Apollon, if you’ve not yet bought a ticket for the Hamilton opener this Sunday we’d love to have you there.  If you were not at that game, but can make this one, we look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

COYR!
