Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes and his assistant Tony Docherty have both signed new contracts that will keep them at Pittodrie until summer 2017.

The duo took over last April and are preparing for Sunday's League Cup final, with the club also in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup and second in the Premiership.

McInnes told the Aberdeen website: "When Tony and I arrived at Pittodrie we knew we would need time to transform it into our squad. We have demonstrated this season that we are definitely heading in the right direction but we're far from the finished article.
 
"We both really enjoy working at the club but we are only some way towards what we would like to achieve here. It's great that the board also believes we are doing a decent job and the additional contract allows us time to really plan for the future in terms of developing the squad."
