Kelle Roos reveals Kevin Nisbet mind games behind Aberdeen penalty save that had one Hibs star 'squaring up' to him

Kelle Roos got in Kevin Nisbet’s head and now he wants to psyche out Aberdeen’s rivals in the fight for third place.

The Dutch keeper made a string of fine stops to hold rivals Hibs at bay and to keep the Dons five points clear in the battle to finish in the bronze-medal position. Hibs will be left wondering how they didn’t leave Pittodrie with the win. Roos was a major contributor to that and his big moment came when he managed to play mind games with Scotland striker Nisbet before he saved his second-half penalty.

“It is these ones that count,” he proudly claimed. “I saved one before at St Mirren but it was a different result and different celebration. It was pretty emotional, this one. I don’t want to give away too much if I’m honest. You are trying to make some territorial movements and I like to command my box with other players coming into my box.
