Derek McInnes confident of bold Aberdeen showing against Celtic

Derek McInnes is confident his Aberdeen side can put their midweek hiccup behind them and inflict some pain on Celtic this weekend.
The Dons had posted six straight wins before a controversial penalty at Hamilton on Tuesday meant they failed to narrow the gap on Saturday's visitors.
McInnes' men did the double over Celtic at Pittodrie last season and that belief will be key to their fortunes on Saturday, according to their manager.
"Obviously we will take real confidence and belief from the two results and performances we had here against Celtic last year," McInnes told Sky Sports News HQ.

"But they have a different manager and an improved team and you can see from the results how well they are doing so it's another big challenge for us.
"But we are looking for improvement from our own team and up to the other night at Hamilton we had had six wins out of six and the fact that we have beaten Rangers here already this season then this game should not faze us.
"We'll just go out and do our best and try and get all three points. The crowd will be expecting us to do just that. It will be a sell-out so it's important we try and give a good account of ourselves."
