Stephen Glass in defiant Aberdeen Scottish Cup stance as boss claims 'the season is not dead' if Motherwell win

Fired-up Stephen Glass is desperate to keep Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup dream alive to kick-start their season.

The Dons are well aware of the importance of trying to lift silverware and the Cup remains their only hope.

Glass knows the importance of finally putting one over on their bogey team Motherwell at Fir Park and kicking their season into life.

The Dons boss said: “The Scottish Cup has been the only issue in terms of winning something since we were beaten at Raith Rovers. We weren’t going to win the league by that time.

“You go into every season believing you can win things. When the Scottish Cup comes round that is the opportunity.

“The season’s not dead but I don’t want to talk about not being in the Scottish Cup. All our focus is on winning games.

Motherwell will fancy their chances, having won both previous games this season 2-0 and scoring with their only four shots on goal.
