Derek McInnes
“I think it’s important we’ve beaten Celtic before this season. Any manager in the away dressing room to Celtic Park will tell his players to show a bit of belief so it helps if your players have beaten them already this season. At the same time it’s another challenge. Celtic are always formidable opponents and they’ve done great this season in the League. They’ve scored 9 goals in the last two games so that would suggest they are going right to the wire with their performances so for us it’s just making sure we bring a performance to the game we’re capable of. If we can do that with our motivation to get a result we can hopefully get another positive outcome.
“The 3 games we have remaining are potentially huge and we’ve got to make sure we give ourselves a chance to finish the season strongly. These boys have been fantastic this season but they are well aware that no prizes are given out with 3 games to go. We’ve still got to go and finish the season strongly, hopefully get the club into Europe and we know it’s in our own hands to achieve that.
“There’s lots still to play for and that’s down to the efforts of the players.
“It’s very disappointing Andy will miss the remaining games, especially as it was a training ground injury because it’s really frustrating. It was just a slip and he’s went into an unnatural position and he’s tweaked his hamstring.
“Joe Shaughnessy is still causing a bit of concern, again another training injury. There’s still a real doubt about Joe and Peter came off last week feeling his hamstring and back a little tight but we’re hopeful he will be ok for the game.”

“We know it’s another hard game for ourselves but one we are looking forward to. It’s a big week in our season and we’re 4 points clear now so it’s still in our own hands. Our next two games are obviously going to be massive- two big away games against Celtic and Dundee United. So plenty to play for and plenty to look forward to as well.
“This season has been great but we want to push on now and we want to finish 2nd. We know there is still a lot to play for. There are hard games coming up but it’s exciting times and we’re looking to forward to ending the season with three massive games.
“We’ve got a strong set of boys and we’ve got a good team sprit which we’ve shown throughout the season and we’ve definitely nothing to fear. It’s a ground we look forward to and playing in the big occasions and it’s going to be another one come Saturday.”
