Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee admits their shock Active Nation Scottish Cup exit to Raith Rovers earlier this year will live with him forever as both clubs prepare to do battle again in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
The Dons suffered the defeat in February with McGhee describing the fifth-round replay as the worst result of his managerial career. Now, as they prepare to play host to the Irn-Bru First Division side again, he does not expect the previous clash at Pittodrie to have an impact on this game but admits the fans have every right to demand a result this time.
"It's something that happened and it's not something I'm ever going to forget but it doesn't impact on me doing my job here now," said McGhee. "The important thing now is that I'm working for our supporters to win football matches and our supporters badly want a cup run."
He added: "We have an opportunity against a team from a lower division at home and therefore, rightly, our supporters should expect us to win that game.
"We are not taking it for granted and, after the last few years, they're maybe not taking it for granted, but they will still expect and we've got to go out and deliver.
"If we do that, I think there will be no issues."
