Mackie vows to repay Dons faithful

Aberdeen hero Darren Mackie is determined to reach the Scottish Cup final in May to appease the fans who were left flat after the CIS Insurance Cup semi-final capitulation to Dundee United.

The 26-year-old Mackie, whose season has been blighted by injury, scored only his second goal of the campaign to give the Dons a shock quarter-final replay win over Celtic at Parkhead last night.
