Celtic interim manager John Kennedy: “At a club like this there is always pressure. I think with the 10 thing it got hyped and there was greater pressure.

“When you get over emotional you make bad decisions and I think we have seen that in games and in some performances where there was too much emotion involved.

“It has been a very emotional season. Even before the season started you could feel the intensity and probably over the last couple of seasons, all you could hear was 10, 10, 10.

“Ultimately, that was the objective, to win the league and make it 10 but we have just got to park that, strip it back, get clarity, play with clear minds and understand what makes us good and try to do that.”

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes: “I spoke about positives from the game last week but that was the disappointment, that we had umpteen crosses and numerous set-plays going in, and we never took full advantage of it.

“More from our point of view, in terms of the size in the team, and that we have got players like McGinn, who can produce that delivery.

“Saturday showed the importance of that, a good set-piece goal that every team needs to carry a threat from. Saturday will be no different from any other game that we try to carry a threat from open play and set-plays.”
