Jamie longs for Dons to strike goals

ABERDEEN goalkeeper Jamie Langfield wants to see a goal rush from the Dons after their success in shoring up a leaky defence.

After five clean sheets, Aberdeen finally gave away a goal at Kilmarnock on Saturday when Danny Invincibile netted, but Gary McDonald's equaliser meant it was not particularly damaging.

Aberdeen have gone unbeaten in six SPL matches following their opening-day defeat at Celtic, which followed an 8-1 aggregate humiliation in Europe at the hands of Sigma Olomouc.

Langfield was foiled in his bid to equal the SPL record of seven consecutive clean sheets – held by Celtic's Rab Douglas – but the Dons goalkeeper was pleased to see Mark McGhee's side avoid defeat.

Now he hopes the team can find the net more often, given their record shows just six goals scored in seven league matches.

He said: "If someone said after we had lost to Celtic that we would lose one goal in the next six league games we would have taken that. But the thing for us is we need to start putting the ball in the net in the other end."

Kilmarnock boss Jim Jefferies said: "In the second half we were up for it, made the chances and on another day it could have been a comfortable win."
