You should probably still have enough to win with 10 men against most teams, especially in the league. We were trailing 1-0 and down to 10 men away to Ross County last month and won comfortably. We also went on to beat yourselves earlier this season after having a man sent off at 1-1.
There was a game last season where you went down to 10 men at Pittodrie and went on to score a late winner. I think the difference though is that there was a bit of fight in the team last season, there was absolutely no spark or fight at all when things weren't going well in both your games this week.
At half time on Wednesday I was expecting Celtic to throw everything at us and pin us back as soon as the game got underway again as that what they've been doing for years when they need goals. If you had got one back I would have feared the worst but the reality was nothing like that, Aberdeen strolled about and could easily have scored another couple before Celtic had a bit of late pressure.
I still expect Celtic to win the league by a few points but at least it's close for the moment. We are unbeaten in the league since October so building a nice head of steam, be great to keep it going for a while yet.
