Eight years, almost 400 games, it was a big part of my life. I worked with a lot of very good players. “We had four second-placed finishes and it should have been five if the referee does his job right in the last game of the season (2014). So there is a lot goes into that. “We didn’t do that by spending money, we didn’t do it by throwing big wages away. We did it by sheer hard work, a real togetherness, really good recruitment and hungry players. We had a brilliant spirit and we reinvented the squad time and time again to meet the demands. It was a collective effort.
"Copyright: SNS'I'd have taken a scrappy 1-0'FT: Aberdeen 4-1 HibernianAberdeen manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: “We’re all delighted with the final result, I think that’s what matters most in these big games. “I didn’t think there was much between these teams pre-match, the scoreline may suggest we were well on top and gave Hibs a tough time but people at the game will realise it was a lot closer than the scoreline would suggest. “All in all you’ve got to be pleased. I’d have taken a scrappy 1-0 before the game so the fact we’ve been able to entertain the fans and score four goals, I don't know the exact number but I know we’ve scored a considerable amount here, I’m delighted to go and entertain the fans again tonight. ”On his side’s first-half penalty, he adds: “There will be plenty of controversy and plenty of opinion around the decision, but for me, that’s why we’ve brought VAR in.
I don't think there is any doubt about that Copyright: SNSLivi roar back to re-assert league positionFT: Kilmarnock 2-3 LivingstonMartin DowdenBBC Sport Scotland at Rugby ParkWhat a crucial win this might be for Livingston when they look back in a few months. When they conceded early, with Kilmarnock's recent home record, they may have struggled with the threat of Killie closing in behind them in the table. Now they lie sixth and have put themselves in a nice position with just two games left until the break. For Kilmarnock, home fans weren't happy with this display. The trip to Dundee United midweek now takes on extra significance.
We knew the threats that Killie would pose, we spoke a lot about set plays. I'm really disappointed to lose the two goals in that manner. "But I've got to give the boys huge credit, we came back from behind twice and it was a fantastic goal from wee Brucie [Anderson]. And I know it was an own goal, but we work that pattern of play in training and wee Brucie won the turnover. "I was delighted with the boys. Kilmarnock have now only lost two in 12 at home so that shows you how hard it is to pick points up here. That's the first game we've won since going behind, so that's massive too. "The work ethic throughout the club, not just the players, is phenomenal. It's a given that every game, the boys will give me everything they've got.
Derek McInnes reflects on Aberdeen success ahead of Pittodrie returnKilmarnock boss Derek McInnes reflected on his successes as Aberdeen manager ahead of his Pittodrie return with the Ayrshire outfit this weekend.

It took an age to get through and if it takes that long then it's probably not. I suppose I'm bad in that sense. "Then a very disappointing second and third goal, and that’s down to us, my team and myself because we weren't physically strong enough or switched on enough in the box. "The players can come in and hold their hands up, which they do; which means they’re honest but it’s not good enough - we’ve got to win football matches.

"You'll just need to wait and see what the starting eleven looks like, but we are quite fortunate. I built the squad in a way that some people do wonder about the options at the back and the lack of depth within the defensive options. "But I built the team with players who can play in different positions, and Ross was Aberdeen's player of the year last season playing at centre-half, so I don't have any hesitations in playing him here. Join our Aberdeen FC Facebook group for all the latest Dons news "He's already done it this season, but we do miss his energy in the middle of the pitch when he's not in there, but we'll see what happens. We'll sit down as staff this afternoon and decide what the game plan is going to look like and decide what the starting eleven is going to look like as well. " It's a big ask to give young Red Jack Milne a chance in such an important fixture, but it then brings McCrorie back into the midfield alongside Ylber Ramadani if he chooses to do so. But with Goodwin leaving fans waiting till the matchday to discover the lineup, it raises questions around whether or not his attention in January's transfer window is drawn to adding depth to the defence or if he is eager to stick to the tools at hand and use them at his disposal.
He added: “As the club previously stated we are conducting our own investigation into the matter and, in consultation with the SFA, we are looking to try to get that resolved as quickly as possible. You will appreciate that, while that investigation is ongoing, I can’t say any more than that. ” Join our Aberdeen FC Facebook group for all the latest Dons news When asked if the striker would be in the squad, McInnes said: “I can’t say for certain on that for the moment.
