Calderwood happy with run-in

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood is confident his side can hold off Hearts' challenge and secure a place in Europe for next season.
The third-placed Dons already hold a six-point advantage over the Edinburgh-based side and travel to Tynecastle in May after playing three games in a row.
Calderwood said: "If we win our games ahead of the one at Tynecastle and they slip up we could already be back in Europe.
"Hearts have to play both of the Old Firm away before they play us and they're going to have to play really well to get something there.
"We can't complain about the way the fixtures have come out. We have Dundee United at home before the split followed by home games against Hibs and Kilmarnock, which we have to be happy with.
"Four of the seven games we have left are at Pittodrie, so making Europe is very much in our own hands."
