    Derek McInnes hopes that Aberdeen can get a result against Celtic in their final game of the campaign to clinch second place.

    Aberdeen have destiny in their own hands as a win at Celtic Park will guarantee them the runners-up spot, however, champions Celtic have only lost three games this season.

    Rangers are a point behind Aberdeen but face a tricky trip to fourth-place Hibernian.

    "The league table doesn't lie, so it's still an opportunity for us," McInnes said.

    Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna says it will be a massive achievement for his side to finish second and how staying in Scotland is beneficial to anyone's career.

    "It will go to the last game and there's still going to be twists and turns and a bit of drama, but the fact is we're in the mix going into the last game.

    "It's fascinating stuff. It is exciting."

    The champions will be presented with their Premiership trophy after the game against the Dons in what is sure to be a sellout Celtic Park before they start preparing for the showpiece finale against Motherwell at Hampden Park, as they look to complete an unprecedented successive treble.
