The defender knows that European endeavours can't be used as a get out of jail card.
Nicky Devlin insists Aberdeen need to start picking up Premiership points and can no longer use Europe as an excuse.
“We need to start picking up points in the league. And that starts on Sunday. It will be a difficult game because Ross County have started the season well. We know their threats. They have two big guys up front. But ultimately we have to be better than we have been in the league.” “Of course we understand in our league that to finish first or second would be very difficult so if we get third place and get to the group stage of European football, that must not be a negative for us. We have to turn that into a positive and we have to start winning games in the league.”
“But that’s why it was so disappointing to lose a set-piece goal. Yes, it was a good effort but it was ultimately disappointing.
