McInnes vows to keep on improving

McInnes is looking for his 57th Ladbrokes Premiership win as Dons manager when he takes his team to Kilmarnock on Saturday.

The former St Johnstone boss praised everyone at Pittodrie for an impressive ratio of wins which beats Sir Alex Ferguson's record of 47 in his first 100 games at the club, although he delivered the title in his second season in 1980.

But McInnes is keen to make sure that they improve their record even further.

McInnes said on RedTV: "The majority of the team and staff have been here for the two-and-a-half years and that stability is important. Everyone deserves credit for that ratio.

"But we want to try and better that and keep things going.

"We have just started. Hopefully we are sitting after 200 games and it's something similar and hopefully even better."

McInnes signed a deal until 2019 before the season started and wants to build something special at Aberdeen, mindful of the precarious nature of football management, which saw Danny Lennon, Ian Murray and Dick Campbell depart their posts in Scotland's lower leagues recently.

"You are always hopeful when you sign a contract that you see it out," McInnes said. "Three managers have lost their jobs in the last week and that's quite disheartening. Our job is difficult but when you find a job that you love and enjoy, as I do here, you want to make the most of that opportunity.

"We committed for four years in the summer and we did that because we feel we have only just started and have to drive things on."
