ABERDEEN boss Jimmy Calderwood today spoke of his relief that key players should be available for tomorrow night's Scottish Cup clash with Hibs.

Caldo was angry when the SFA moved the tie from Saturday, claiming it would result in fewer fans attending.

But after a virus swept through Pittodrie, he reckons too many players wouldn't have made it at the weekend.

He said: "In hindsight, it is better the game was moved back, because of the flu. But TV decides these things now and we'd have been struggling on Saturday due to players who were unwell."
