Dons will be different: Duffy

Morton boss Jim Duffy admits his players will have to take their game to a whole new level if they are to upset Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup semi-final today.

The Greenock men have already stunned both Kilmarnock and Hamilton on the way to their Hampden showdown with Derek McInnes’ Dons.

They also secured a sensational 5-0 win over Queen of the South last week on the Doonhamers’ own patch.

But Cappielow boss Duffy confessed even those displays will not be enough to topple their Pittodrie opponents.

He said: “We have shown on our day we can certainly compete against good sides. But Aberdeen are a different proposition. They have finished second only to Celtic in back-to-back Premiership campaigns.

“They look as if they are going to be the only team to chase them again this year.”

Centre-back Gavin Gunning (hamstring) has not given up hope of playing but Ross Forbes is suspended.
