Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood has urged the club to pull out all the stops in a bid to keep hold of Darren Mackie.

The 26-year-old striker is out of contract at Pittodrie at the end of the current season.

"Darren is part of my plans for the future - he's never been out of my plans," said Calderwood.

"In the last two games he's been wonderful, although the players joke that's because his contract is up for renewal in May.

"In the past Darren's had some stick from the supporters but, if he wasn't out on the pitch he'd be up in the stand with them, because he's Aberdeen daft."
