Shay Logan Backs Dons Title Chase #shaylogan #aberdeenfc

ABERDEEN defender Shay Logan believes the Dons can outpace Celtic in the race for the title if the bid for four trophies leaves Ronny Deila’s side flagging.

While last week’s QTS Scottish League Cup semi-final defeat to Dundee United means the Reds have only the Scottish Premiership to concentrate on, the Hoops are still fighting on all fronts.
