Aberdeen were denied a deserved point at Parkhead – and says third place in the Premiership is still up for grabs.The Dons were unlucky to lose yet another game to Celtic by a single goal, with Odsonne Edouard's deflected strike the difference between the sides.McInnes' men were denied by a terrific Scott Bain save from Ash Taylor's header in the first half - and they put pressure on the home side towards the end.Ultimately they failed to claw back any points on Hibs who sit above them in the table by four.But McInnes is adamant they showed enough signs to give them confidence going forward and says they can still finish best of the rest.He said: “I thought we started the game really well and had a couple of chances.“Big Ash should do

Celtic. The Dons make the trip to Glasgow's east end for the second time in 10 days and McInnes hopes to capitalise on crosses into the box.The Hoops showed their ongoing vulnerability at set-plays when Jordan White scored with a free header following a free-kick in a 1-0 defeat against Ross County leading to Neil Lennon's departure as manager.In contrast, Aberdeen's players will have a spring in their step having broken a six-game scoring duck last weekend.

Derek McInnes has branded Fraser Hornby’s injury “an absolute disaster”.The striker, on-loan from Stade de Reims, has suffered a significant thigh tear and medical advice is that he could be out for up to two months.McInnes, however, has revealed that Hornby is already feeling more positive and hopeful he can be back quicker than predicted.The issue for Aberdeen and McInnes is they now only have two fit strikers, in Flo Kamberi and Callum Hendry, as they look to try and catch Hibs in the fight for third spot.“It is an absolute disaster for us,” McInnes stated.“Just as we were getting him up to speed.

Derek McInnes who only brought the Scotland Under-21 striker in on-loan from Stade de Reims on the final day of the transfer window. An Aberdeen statement confirmed: "Upon further investigation a scan has shown Fraser has suffered a significant tear on his thigh that will keep him out for a period of time." Hornby, who has made just five appearances for the Dons, suffered the injury when he hit a first half shot in Saturday’s win over Kilmarnock.

Aberdeen to get a goal after six games without one may have been a flier.But the lad who got it admits all his old man had was faith.Callum Hendry grabbed the Dons’ first goal in 574 minutes, his way of repaying boss Derek McInnes for having the same faith in him to take him off the St Johnstone bench. A few eyebrows were raised given the 23-year-old could not get a start for Saints but the Pittodrie gaffer saw enough to take a loan gamble on deadline day.

Kilmarnock at Pittodrie to keep alive their hopes of finishing third in the Premiership.Manager Derek McInnes has come under pressure in recent weeks as Aberdeen's challenge faltered, with a growing number of fans calling on him to go.Others have stated that the long-serving boss should be afforded time, having continually had his side challenging for trophies and competing in Europe.In this season particularly though the race for third has taken on an even greater significance and McInnes - not to mention his Hibs counterpart Jack Ross - will be only too aware of that.A big hurdle to Scottish sides competing in Europe are the multitude of qualifiers they must navigate before reaching the big time.No club is more aware of that than

Derek McInnes insists he's having to do a balancing act to fight for third place while ensuring the club runs sustainably.The Dons ended their six-match scoreless run in a 1-0 win over struggling Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon as St Johnstone loanee Callum Hendry netted his first goal for the club.Hendry arrived as a substitute for the injured Fraser Hornby midway inside the first half, nodding home the only goal of the game just moments later.It helped the Pittodrie side keep pace with third-placed Hibs as they remain four points behind in that all important best of the rest slot.And McInnes said: "I'm no different to when I've been winning, when things are going absolutely brilliantly I'm no different in the dugout, no different with my

Aberdeen will take absolutely any victory as they prepare to face Kilmarnock.The Dons host Killie at Pittodrie on Saturday seeking to arrest a miserable run of just one win from 11.A 1-0 defeat to Celtic on Wednesday also ensured Derek McInnes' side went six games without scoring, a unwanted club record.Kilmarnock are also struggling of late, their 1-0 loss to runaway leaders Rangers their seventh in a row.McCrorie scored the only goal of the game when the teams met back in September but would now be pleased with a scrappy victory to get the team firing again."I would take any win to be fair," he said.

MLS partner club was in the works and now the 23-year-old has now struck a deal until the end of the season.He made only four appearances in the Premiership but boss Derek McInnes stressed the player had made "several personal sacrifices" to remain in Scotland.The manager said: “Sadly, the events of 2020 and the impact of the global pandemic have undoubtedly had an impact on Ronald’s time at Pittodrie."When he arrived, he had just completed pre-season in Norway, and we were mid-way through the 2019/20 season, but we worked hard with him to try to develop his fitness and adapt to the Scottish game."However, the curtailment of the season meant his ability to make any impact on the team was limited.“From a personal point of view, Ronald has

4-1 derby demolition of Motherwell on Saturday. Anderson himself has said he's not using his spell at New Douglas Park as a springboard to get back into the first-team plans at Pittodrie.

Derek McInnes questioned the consistency of Scottish referees after his side were denied a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Celtic.The Dons were up in arms when the ball appeared to strike the hand of Celtic's Stephen Welsh's in the area, but referee Alan Muir felt the contact was insufficient to point to the spot.The incident sparked tension between McInnes and the officials and he was later handed a booking for his vocal touchline antics.But he was quick to point out that his booking only came after Celtic were given a free kick for what what he felt was an innocent challenge from Aberdeen's Ross McCrorie.He told Sportsound after the match: "I wasn't booked for the penalty, I was booked for Ross McCrorie winning the ball on the halfway

Hamilton a turn by loaning them Bruce Anderson after the striker made it two goals in four days.Anderson has hit the ground running in Lanarkshire ironically while his parent club have now gone six games without bulging the net as Derek McInnes feels the heat in the north east.Rice - who will assess Aaron Martin this morning after the defender left the stadium in a protective boot having gone off with an ankle knock - reckons a draw was a fair result in Paisley and lavished praise on the goalscorer as well as his backline.He said: “I’m very grateful to Aberdeen and I’ve thanked Derek. He’s come here and found a nice partnership.

Hamilton, while his team toil in front of goal.22-year-old Anderson left Pittodrie in a January window that saw the Dons recruit three new front men, but none of Florian Kamberi, Fraser Hornby or Callum Hendry have opened their Aberdeen accounts.Anderson, conversely, has scored twice in his last two appearances for Accies, including an equaliser in a 1-1 draw with St Mirren on Wednesday.That came in tandem to Aberdeen's 1-0 defeat to Celtic - a club record sixth game on the bounce without hitting the back of the net for the Dons.But the McInnes wasn't interested in suggestions that he is 'frustrated' by Anderson's form.He told BBC Sportsound: "It's not a frustration. It's childish to think that way.

Scottish Premiership. Not in terms of points, but in games played as Celtic finally see out the last of their games in hand even if Rangers' 18 point advantage seems insurmountable.

Celtic on Wednesday with just one win from nine. Florian Kamberi made his Aberdeen bow in the weekend draw with St Mirren but, much like fellow new arrivals Fraser Hornby and Callum Hendry, is short of match sharpness.

Derek McInnes must gel his new strike force and give the Pittodrie faithful something to smile about in the coming weeks.The Dons have gone five games without a goal although three strikers arrived during the transfer window in the shape of Scotland under-21 striker Fraser Hornby, St Johnstone's Callum Hendry and Swiss striker Flo Kamberi.Kamberi made his debut alongside Hornby in a two-pronged attack on a horrible surface at Pittodrie on Saturday and although neither hit the target in the 0-0 draw, there were encouraging signs that a solid partnership could emerge.They face a big challenge in ending their drought against Celtic on Wednesday, with the Hoops suddenly back in form after four wins on the spin.Fans have been angry with the

Celtic fans may have envisioned at the start of the campaign, but there has been a clear improvement in form in recent weeks.Neil Lennon's side have now won four on the bounce but remain a long way behind Premiership leaders Rangers.Despite some positives for Hoops' fans to cling to in the final run-in, it's a completely different story for Aberdeen at the moment.Under-pressure Derek McInnes has only managed one win so far this year with the Dons' hopes of beating Hibs to third spot fading fast.The club's relationship with fans has been strained in recent days after the Q&A with chairman Dave Cormack was axed to focus on the clash in Glasgow's east end.However, taking three points back to Pittodrie could turn the tide.Here's all you need to

Dave Cormack has cancelled Tuesday's planned Q&A with fans, as supporters accuse the Pittodrie chief of dodging questions over the managerial situation.An online session was planned for Tuesday, with the Dons chairman promising that "no question will be off limits".Cormack was expected to be grilled on the financial situation at Pittodrie but also the long-term future of manager Derek McInnes.Aberdeen have affirmed their faith in the 49-year-old in a club statement, but a growing number of fans want change in the dugout.It's now been confirmed that Tuesday's Q&A session has been cancelled, with Cormack stating he'll be happy to meet supporters in person after the Covid-19 pandemic has passed.A statement said: "In confirming the Q&A event

Aberdeen will set a new 118-year-old unwanted club record of failing to find the net if they don't score at Parkhead on Wednesday against Celtic before the 72nd minute.The Dons' luckless run in front of goal continued in the draw with St Mirren meant they have now gone five games without scoring - only the fourth time in their history they have done that and two of them have come under manager Derek McInnes.Aberdeen have previously played five games in all competitions without a goal in 1905, 1973, 2020 and 2021 and the longest run of minutes without a goal happened when they failed to score in 535 minutes, 48 years ago.Their current run stretches for 463 minutes, since Andrew Considine scored Aberdeen's second goal against Motherwell in a

Derek McInnes move on.Across their last five matches, the Granite City side haven't scored a single goal despite throwing new man Florian Kamberi into the mix against St Mirren on Saturday in a 0-0 draw.Fraser Hornby and Callum Hendry also arrived on loan to replace Sam Cosgrove this month after the striker was sold but none of the fresh signings have found the net so far.There have also been four goals conceded in that time, with the Dons' total of three points arriving by way of three goalless draws.That leaves them 11th in the form table when only the last five matches are taken into consideration.The only side below them is Kilmarnock - who saw fit to bin Alex Dyer as manager and replace him with former St Johnstone boss Tommy

Aberdeen side equal an unwanted club record of five games without hitting the net - but has insisted his new-look strike force will come good.The Dons were held to an uninspiring draw by St Mirren to make 463 minutes without a goal.The barren run means they are now four points behind third-placed Hibs but McInnes is in no doubt his new signings Flo Kamberi, Fraser Hornby and Callum Hendry will provide the solutions.McInnes stated: “It is a concern.

Motherwell after suffering derby humiliation against Hamilton.The Fir Park boss was sent to the stand after receiving two bookings for touchline dissent but he insists a first half horror show was the cause of their downfall which saw Stephen O’Donnell also red carded.Well went down 3-0 to Brian Rice's magnificent Accies in the opening half-hour with Bruce Anderson, Ross Callachan and Marios Ogkmpoe on target. David Moyo added a fourth in the second half before Mark O'Hara's consolation penalty.Alexander said: “The biggest thing in professional football is how you train and the knowledge you have off the pitch, and then putting it into pressure situations, and today we were found wanting, certainly in the first 15-20 minutes.

Brian Rice’s men, who had beaten Motherwell 3-0 in the New Year fixture at home, repeated the margin of victory and were well worth their Fir Park triumph.Goals from Bruce Anderson, Ross Callachan, Marios Ogkmpoe and David Moyo were more than enough to see off ‘Well, who had captain Stephen O’Donnell sent off after giving away a penalty that led to the second goal.A second half spot kick from Mark O’Hara gave Motherwell their first goal in three meetings with Accies this term but it’s still three straight derby wins for Rice’s team and this one was thoroughly merited.The visitors’ may have arrived at their Lanarkshire neighbours propping up the table but they were boosted by their battling point against Rangers in their previous outing.But

Steven Gerrard’s runaway league leaders.Gerrard has now insisted that "far worse" incidents go unpunished with retrospective action as he called for more consistency. Celtic striker Albian Ajeti was also in the dock over a simulation claim that went unproven but Neil Lennon reckons the Old Firm get a raw deal from SFA over the compliance process as pressure ramps up on the governing body.

Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack and manager Derek McInnes.The Dons boss was critical about the way the club operated in the transfer window this week, feeling crucial deals were left until too late.Fans have been unhappy at the quality of football under the Dons boss despite seven years of solid success and a League Cup during his time at the helm.There were suggestions this may lead to Cormack calling time on the boss' reign but the rumours seemed firmly answered when the board released a statement backing the manager.And pundit Sutton sent Cormack a simple warning over letting the former St Johnstone boss depart Pittodrie.He told BT Sport: "Why issue a statement telling us they are right behind the manager?"Derek McInnes has done a good

St Mirren.Reims loanee Fraser Hornby is doubtful to feature in the Pittodrie clash after missing multiple days of training with Derek McInnes' squad due to a bug.And it's still uncertain if Swiss arrival Florian Kamberi will feature with work permit issues now likely to delay his Dons debut even longer.Greg Leigh will be out long-term after a hamstring injury just minutes into last weekend's match against Hibs and he joins Mikey Devlin who has an ankle problem and Ryan Hedges on the crocked list.Meanwhile the Saints hope for positive news on Jamie McGrath and Eamonn Brophy, who could both be out for the remainder of the campaign.Brophy has suffered a stress fracture in his foot while McGrath left the pitch after 14 minutes against Celtic on
