“I felt like throughout the whole game we were aggressive and tried to be creative.

“The gaffer told us to express ourselves and I felt the front three were really good. Some of them are disappointed not to get the goals, but they all contributed.

“It’s been a first class experience for me here.

“I was just saying there on RedTV that it’s been the best changing room I’ve been in.

“The gaffer’s been fantastic with me and I’d like to think I’ve developed my game a lot. I’m more confident as a player and feel like I’ve taken experiences from the big games and I can push on for my career. I want to push myself and get to the very top and I feel like this was a massive learning experience for me coming up to Aberdeen.

“There’s always a chance of coming back and I’m not going to rule it out.

“I’ve loved my time up here.

“The gaffer’s said we need to get through these last two games then we’ll have a chat. I respect the gaffer and he’s done a lot for my career so it’s something to be thought about.

“Wherever I’m going to be at in the summer I want to be playing.

“I was 22 on Saturday so I’m getting older and I’m at that age where I need to be playing games.

“I’ve played 30 plus games this season and feel I’ve benefited massively.

“Even in the game’s I’ve not played in or not started I’ve come away thinking there’s a lot of things I can improve on and I feel like I have done that.

“Come pre-season I want to be playing.

“Graeme’s going to fit in at Derby perfectly.

“There’s been games this season where he’s carried us and he’s a player the fans will appreciate there. The gaffer at Derby knows his qualities and I’m buzzing to see him play in a Derby shirt.

“He won’t struggle with his size because his energy levels are so high. It’s a tough league (the Championship, if he is playing there), but so is up here and it took me a while to get used to the tempo. I’m backing him as is everyone and I don’t think it’ll be a surprise when he goes there and rips it up.

“He’s our leader and always says things at the right time which is crucial for us young lads.

“He’s come back in (on Friday) and started off really well with some nice passes and calming the game down. We’re going to miss that, but hopefully we’ll get the same at Derby.

“Frank knows how good an asset he’ll be at Derby and I’m really excited to see him in a Derby shirt.

“The gaffer’s said we need to finish third and we can’t settle for fourth.

“The club’s too big for that and no disrespect to Killie, who have had a great season, we want to beat them too it and we always felt we would have to win the last two games.

“That’s what we’re looking at and that’s the least we can do for the fans because they deserve it. They’ve been great the whole season.”
