Russell Anderson promised Aberdeen final bow
ABERDEEN boss Derek McInnes has told Russell Anderson he will get a final run-out in front of the Red Army before the end of the season.

The injury-hit captain this week confirmed he is quitting to take up a commercial post at Pittodrie in the summer.
The Dons entertain Celtic tomorrow, then are at Dundee before signing off at home to St Johnstone – and McInnes has confirmed the 36-year-old defender will get some game time in one of those matches.
McInnes said: “When he made the decision to stop playing, we as a club were keen to have him still with us in some capacity.
“It’s always a sad day when a player has to stop. He’s played another reserve game and the plan is to get him back on the pitch in the next few weeks.
“It will hopefully be a chance for the supporters to recognise his contribution.”
McInnes, meanwhile, has confirmed his players will give the champions a guard on honour.
He said: “We will do what we think is right but I don’t have any problem with clapping the Celtic team on.”
