The Dons lost 3-2 to Shakhtar Donetsk in a thriller at Pittodrie and the manager now wants to see something similar on Sunday when Dundee visit the Granite City.

The gaffer said: “You saw a team that showed passion, spirit and never gave up.

“There was more personality on the pitch. They created good things. But we need to improve as the second and third goals just can't happen.

“It was too easy and we got punished. If we can do these things better, we have a better chance.
