Matty Kennedy believes Aberdeen have closed the gap on Celtic and Rangers but says they still have a long way to go before they can challenge them on a regular basis.
The Dons have struggled for form since the World Cup break but in two games against Rangers and another against Celtic they lost them all by the odd goal, before Jim Goodwin was sacked. Kennedy said: “We have closed the gap a little but still have a long way to go. We have worked hard and hopefully we can show that we are good players and a good team and put on a performance, because this is a massive club. We have to be competing better and getting results against the Old Firm.”
Kennedy has also praised Barry Robson for steadying the ship and reckons the Aberdeen board should consider him the hotseat. He said: “I think it would be crazy not to consider Baz. I know people don’t see him on the training pitch, but he’s a great coach.
“I enjoy his training. He’s big on fitness, the training is hard but it’s good. I think everybody in the building sees his ability when it comes to coaching.
“He has been here for years, and all the staff love him. At this moment, no-one else knows the club as well as Baz does.”
