“We’re coming up against an Aberdeen side who are going for their record number of points and we haven’t beaten them yet. I have huge respect for the job Derek McInnes has done.”
Derek McInnes says
“Their (Caley Thistle’s) consistency this season should be praised. They have a very good side. They will be motivated to try and stop us getting that second spot for as long as possible. We fully expect a tough game.
“They will be buoyant. It is their first home game since reaching the final. We want to go up there and win tomorrow and to do that we need to play well. It is going to take a strong Aberdeen performance to get the job done.”
