Ricky's report of the Aberdeen game is now available.
Terry Butcher's post-match comments were as follows: "I think the players deserve credit because they've not started to think that we're finished for the season and are looking to relax - they are all desperate to get as many points on the board as we can. Maybe our improvement this season will turn out to be a rod for our own backs, because people will be expecting us to make it to Europe next season at this rate. "But in all seriousness, I do feel we are capable of catching Dunfermline in fourth place so maybe James McFadden was right when he predicted that before he left. "I'm loving things at the moment and it's been a delight to work with all the people at the club. A lot of people tipped us to go down, so seeing us in the top six sometimes makes me think I'm dreaming and I half expect to wake up and discover that we've been relegated." When asked about the performance of Stevie Craig, TB added: Stevie is also keen to extend his stay at Fir Park, and said after the game: "I've not had contact with any other clubs, although I'm not sure if my agent has. But if he has, I'm not aware of it and it would have been without my blessing. You can't help it if people want to come and speak to you, especially with the way the game is now but Motherwell said they wouldn't make any decisions until after the top six place was confirmed so now that it has I'll hopefully know a bit more soon. "A lot of people said and wrote that we'd go down this season, so I guess we've proved them all wrong. There is a real camaraderie and team spirit here, but we also have some very talented players. People are now saying that we've over-achieved, but I'm not sure you can say that when we've done it over the whole season."
