Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin insists his side must remain focused on their league campaign after booking their place in the Premier Sports Cup semi-finals.

The 11-game unbeaten Reds scored four to dump Spartans out of the competition in the quarter-final showdown at Pittodrie, but Thelin has immediately switched his focus back to Premiership duties.

Jimmy Thelin is desperate to see off Spartans in the hope it will be third time lucky when it comes to semi-finals.
