Midfielder Ryan Jack insists Aberdeen have no fear as they head into a crucial run of festive fixtures against their rivals for second place in the Scottish Premiership.
The Dons travel to Inverness on Saturday before facing Motherwell and Dundee United in the next fortnight.
Aberdeen have beaten all three sides already this season and if they can repeat the feat in the next couple of weeks Jack knows his side will set itself up nicely for 2014. The stakes are high but Jack and his team-mates are ready for the challenge as they try to finish best of the rest behind champions-elect Celtic.
