Stevie May is the featured player this week:

“The injury was a stop / start one. I played through it a bit but then it became too sore to play with and I had to give it a rest. It was frustrating, especially because I did not think that it would keep me out. I played the games after I picked it up, games against St Johnstone and Hibs, and I thought the pain was bearable. I thought it would gradually wear off, but then during a training session the pain become too much.

“I got a scan which showed bone bruising so I had to sit things out for a while. Going away to Dubai was a good thing because the warm weather training helped a lot, but then it flared up a bit when we came back. That was to be expected with that type of injury apparently but, touch wood, we are past that now and things are looking all good for the rest of the season.

“The key for me is playing regular games, that is the most important thing but that is the same for most strikers. Just being involved in a team, especially when they are winning, it gives you confidence. I am looking forward to getting back involved more week in week out, something I was not able to do during the winter. Hopefully we can push on and I can play my part.

“I’m really enjoying being at this club. It was an easy changing room to fit into. I already knew quite a few of the boys but even then it is easy for players to come in and settle. When you are down in England it is a bit different. It is more cliquey. Here, a lot of the boys are a similar age and we have more in common, so I fitted in really well.

“I think there is a lot to look forward to over the next couple of years. There is a lot of quality here. It is about getting it right on the park and we will do that. There are some really good young players coming through. Scott McKenna has committed his future to the club and we have the likes of Michael Devlin who will come in next season. I know how good a player Mikey is from playing with him before.

“The future at this club is very bright and I am looking forward to playing my part”.

Plus, Derek McInnes, Graeme Shinnie, Scott McKenna, Freddie Woodman, Danny Rogers, Paul Sheerin, Richard Gordon, Chris Crighton, Ally Begg, and Robert Wicks. All the usual historical features and in-depth stats.
