Concentr-8

DONS boss Jimmy Calderwood has warned his players to remain focused after earning 4 points from back-to-back encounters with the Old Firm.

The team earned plaudits alongside the points for their results against Celtic and Rangers, although they will be disappointed with the dire draw against the latter.

But Calderwood has cautioned against complacency from his players as they prepare to take on the bottom-of-the-table Bairns in the SPL today.

Falkirk have not won in the league since 15 November, while the Dons are on a great run with only one defeat in the last nine games, with seven of those wins.

However, that defeat came in a poor showing away to Falkirk's fellow relegation battlers Hamilton - a game which followed the high of comprehensively dispatching Euro rivals Hearts at Pittodrie.

And Calderwood knows that a a similar trap awaits the Dons today at the Falkirk Stadium.

He said: "We have no divine right to win any football game. We lost three points at Hamilton earlier this month in a game that most people would have expected us to win.

"Some people may have expected us to lose in our recent matches to Hearts or the Old Firm, but Hamilton would have been the match that was viewed as the easiest.

"But that's the one we have lost. That's just the way football goes sometimes."

Defender Andy Copnsidine will miss the game due to a suspension, while Zander Diamond is struggling to be fit after an ankle knock.

But Jamie Langfield is set to take his place between the sticks after Kenny Miller's atrocious attack on him last week.
