And Finally…

Aberdeen chief executive Duncan Fraser is confident the Dons will be able to play hardball should English clubs come calling for players during the January transfer market.

Manager Derek McInnes took a call from Cardiff City counterpart Neil Warnock last week about midfielder Jonny Hayes, but there has been no bid and McInnes does not want one.

Sustained success at Pittodrie will bring the attention of others but Fraser said: “We can play hardball if clubs come in for our players. We are about building the strength of the squad, and we know the value of our players. We want to strengthen and are not in the business of losing our good players.
