ABERDEEN FC boss Mark McGhee believes concentration will be the key to their hopes of snuffing out Celtic’s £70 million man Robbie Keane at Pittodrie tomorrow.

McGhee handed Keane his debut at the age of just 17 when they were both at Wolves, so is well positioned to assess the danger the Republic of Ireland international poses to Aberdeen’s hopes of winning the SPL clash.

McGhee said: “Robbie is always dangerous, but he will be fired up even more tomorrow because he will be desperate to get that first goal in open play.

“If our defence want to stop him they are going to have to concentrate from the very first whistle to the last.”
