McInnes targets cup double

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has his sights set on a cup double after leading the club to League Cup glory on Sunday

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has his sights set on a cup double after leading the club to League Cup glory on Sunday.

The Dons beat Inverness Caley Thistle on penalties to end a 19-year wait for a trophy and have a Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone to look forward to next month.

McInnes said: "We still have a chance in the Scottish Cup and hopefully we can get back and have another day like that. The supporters made it special and I am delighted to take the cup back to Aberdeen.

"I remember sitting with Russell Anderson at the team photo at the start of the season and saying 'next season, rather than having two balls there, hopefully we will have two cups' and he kind of laughed.

"We accept that cups in recent seasons have been huge anti-climaxes and disappointment but there were 40,000 to see Aberdeen win a cup and that can only be good for us going forward."
