    They are not completely safe yet. Aberdeen are currently 5 points clear of 11th placed County and 4 points clear of St J ... do you really think either of those 2 clubs are going to be content to remain where they are and not try everything they can to get clear of the play-off spot?

    Aberdeen have picked up 8 points in their last 4 games and Leven has clearly been working on improving them defensively in that time, having kept 3 clean sheets and conceded just 1 goal in that time. So they have shown definite improvement in that area of the pitch, but they will not be feeling totally safe yet.

    Also remember that they just appointed a new manager to take over in the summer, and Thelin will no doubt be casting an eye over the players in the squad over the remainder of the season, so there is more than enough to keep them motivated.

    The Dons also held Celtic to a 1-1 draw the last time these sides met, with Celtic lucky to come away from that game after trailing 1-0, and the equalizer we got came from a deflected Kuhn shot.

    All the more reason not to underestimate them at all.

    Kyogo must play on the big spacious Hampden park, ideal for him. 3 nil :ynwacelti

    Not sure Palma is fit enough to start so went with Yang

    I reckon it'll be:

    Hart
    Johnston CCV Nawrocki Taylor
    McGregor
    O'Riley Hatate
    Kühn Kyogo Palma

    Idah, Bernardo, Yang off the bench.

    Good question. Normally get less than half even though they can fill half.
    So can see 50/50

    20th of April and for 1st time this season I'd say that's our strongest 11 starting together.

    Strongest team available there. Be good to see the effect of kuhn and palma cutting inside...palma loves it and can cause problems for the keeper. Kuhn I feel likes to thread it through as opposed to going for the glory shot.

    If Palma isn't fit to start I'd be tempted to go with Hatate on the left and Calmac in the middle. Or even Forrest on the right and Kuhn on the left.

    Hart
    Johnston CCV Nawrocki Taylor
    Iwata
    O'Riley McGregor
    Kuhn Kyogo Hatate​

    Welsh, Bernardo, Forrest, Yang and Idah off the bench.

    For sure. We have had a really good week and lots of feel good heading into this weekend. We have to be absolutely focused, have no complacency and at it from the off because as you say this is their season so they will be at their best tomorrow you can be sure.
