Tony Docherty
“We are feeling good. It’s an important game with only 2 games left until the winter break, and it’s against a team I know very well. We met together as a group to analyse our performance against Celtic, but we focused much more on the next performance we are going to put in. It’s against a difficult opponent in Kilmarnock, but we have been in good form and it’s important that we maintain those levels of performance and take that into the game. If we execute our game plan, hopefully we can come away with a positive result.”
Cammy Kerr
“We are excited for it. It’s another tough challenge ahead of us but a game we are certainly all looking forward to and one we are looking to bounce back from. The boys are confident, but we are under no illusion how well Derek McInnes and Kilmarnock are doing. You’ve still got to go around your work in the right way, the same manner everyday in training. They’ve had a good start to the season and we are playing them on their own turf, so we know how hard its going to be. But it’s like every game in this league, every game is incredibly difficult but we have to go down there with confidence and try put our stamp on the game and come away with something.”
