Aberdeen 1-0 Queen's Park: What the manager said

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin told BBC Scotland: "We needed some luck to go through. Their goalkeeper made good saves, you have to respect that and their fight and their belief.

"The fans stayed with us after first half and pushed us to the winning goal. Sometimes you need that extra push when the opponent defends well."

On his 100% record so far, he added: "It's not been smooth! You have to find a way to win games. We still have things to improve.

"We need to keep trying and grow and be better all the time and have strong determination to manage the league and Cup games. So far so good."
