Ross McCrorie knows Aberdeen will be up for the battle to seal third spot because Barry Robson has put together his own band of Pittodrie brothers.
The likes of Duk and Bojan Miovski might have grabbed the headlines with their goals but the recent revival has been very much a team effort. Aberdeen have won seven on the bounce and are five points clear of fourth-placed Hearts going into the top-six fixtures.
McCrorie believes there is a feelgood factor at the Dons and it’s a vibe that flows from the stands to the players and right through the club. The vice-captain took the armband with Graeme Shinnie suspended against Rangers and said: “It was an honour. This is the best group of lads I have been involved with since I have come to Aberdeen. The quality is the best by a mile. We have a lot of quality players in each position.
