McGhee vows to stand by approach

Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee will not be "embarrassed" into using a more attacking formation against Rangers on Sunday. McGhee fielded five natural centre-backs at Motherwell last weekend after being inspired by Rangers' tactics in the Champions League at Manchester United.McGhee will not hesitate to use those same tactics again in the SPL clash at Pittodrie on Sunday."Rangers have scored 11 goals in two games so we have got to find a way of stopping them," McGhee said."If that means an extra defender we will put one there and we won't be embarrassed, I can assure you."If we do park the bus it will be because Rangers force us to, not because we are just going out there and dropping off."We will be trying to cope as best we can with good players - some of that will mean defending deep and in numbers."However, McGhee believes his Fir Park tactics have been misrepresented."We played with a back three and two players, who have been playing at full-back all season, as wing-backs," he said."Andy Considine played over the halfway line for the whole of the second half. We played with wing backs but we just did not create enough playing that way."And McGhee admits his side will have to get the first goal if they are to have a realistic chance of winning.Aberdeen came from behind at Fir Park and also did the same in their 3-2 Co-operative Insurance Cup win over Raith Rovers on Wednesday.But Rangers have stepped up a gear since taking that unexpected point in their opening Champions League game.They thrashed Scottish Cup holders Dundee United 4-0 last weekend and followed that up with a 7-2 rout of Dunfermline in the cup.McGhee said: "If Rangers get the first goal and you go chasing for the goal then you will be likely to get punished badly."We have got to try and get the first goal. But we have got to keep it as tight as we can for as long as we can."
