Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin insists his side must remain focused on their league campaign after booking their place in the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals. The Dons were dominant from the start, and when Pape Habib Gueye fired home the opener after 14 minutes, there was a feeling Thelin’s men could score as many as they wanted.

The 11-game unbeaten Reds scored four to dump Spartans out of the competition in the quarter-final showdown at Pittodrie, but Thelin has immediately switched his focus back to Premiership duties.

Aberdeen eased their way into the semi-finals of the Premier Sports Cup with a dominant 4-0 win over League Two side The Spartans. Pape Habib Gueye was nicely placed to fire home after a kind ricochet to open the scoring, and Kevin Nisbet tapped in a second just before the break.
