“It is always a big game. It is a derby and we are keen to build on last week’s performance. Top six is still up for grabs. We know it is not in our hands but we have to take care of our game and we will see what happens. We have to concentrate on our own jobs and not worry about what is happening elsewhere.

“It is another big day for the club and we are all looking forward to it.

“There is a good buzz about the place. Our performances have been better over the past few games and with the new manager coming in everyone wants to impress him. Getting the win over Hearts was long overdue and we go into the game tomorrow with confidence.

“Today has been a sad day for the club and for myself as well. Craig brought me to Pittodrie which was massive for me, he gave me a new lease of life and I will always be very grateful to him for that. I have also really enjoyed working everyday with Craig and Archie. I know though they will only be a phone call away if I ever need anything.

“We want to go out and win the game for the pair of them, but we want to go out and win every game. It will be a difficult task as Dundee United are a good side but if we can continue our recent form then I think we can get the three points.
