Delighted Jamie McGrath admits Aberdeen knew they had to kick on from running recent Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt all the way as the Dons picked up their first Scottish Premiership win of the season on Sunday.
Barry Robson's side netted four goals without reply against Ross County at Pittodrie, with McGrath scoring his first goal for the club to cap off an impressive individual display. Bojan Miovski also registered a brace, while Luis 'Duk' Lopes finally got his campaign up and running by getting off the mark too.
Aberdeen were winless in the league prior to the impressive victory over the Staggies and McGrath confessed that their spirited Europa Conference League Group G opener versus Bundesliga giants Eintracht Frankfurt just three days prior, gave them belief that they could kick start their season and start climbing the domestic table. He stated: “That was the goal before the start of the day to come away with three points. We knew how important it was to back-up our performance in Germany. We all came to an agreement on Thursday that we needed to kickstart our season on Sunday. It was pleasing to get the three points and a clean sheet.”
McGrath has perhaps spent too much time around boss Robson as he echoed a familiar sentiment by declaring that they can't get carried away and that they need to back up that dominant showing by booking a place in the Viaplay Cup semi-final when they meet Ross County once again, up in Dingwall on Wednesday. “We can’t get too ahead of ourselves," continued the 26-year-old. "It was a well-worked goal. It was brilliant for Bojan to square it to me and it put the game to bed. At home we are expected to win and the demands of the club are of that. We can’t get too carried away. We put on a good performance but Wednesday will be very difficult. It is always difficult playing the same team back-to-back. The chance to play at Hampden is one we don’t want to pass up. We have to recover well and get ready to go for Wednesday.”
