Aberdeen boss looks for morale boosting win

Ebbe Skovdahl is likely to keep faith with the team which performed creditably against Celtic for the Scottish Premier League visit of Dundee United.

The Dons boss was delighted with his side's effort before secumbing to Didier Agathe's late winner.

Like their opponents tomorrow, Aberdeen are consigned to finishing in the wrong half of the table - although Skovdahl knows the effect a decent end-of-season run can have for morale.

"We want to finish as high as possible in the league," he said.

"Although we cannot make the top six, we still must improve on last season so we can build for next year.

"I would like the league table to reflect the improvements we have made."

Dundee United are likely to be without Jamie Hamilton for the trip to Pittodrie.

Hamilton was taken off during the 2-0 at Ibrox with an ankle injury.

However, Steven Thompson will probably retain his place after making an impressive contribution from the bench.

Midfielder David Hannah returns afrer a two-match ban, but may have to be content with a place on the bench.
