Moving on...

Well, it wasn't the first "double" over the Old Firm since the 80s, but 4 points from a possible 6 is a good return for any team, and blew the prospect of a pointless January out of the water.

If we're honest, both games could have gone either way, but it was pleasing to see the team show a bit of resolve and notch two good results. That being said, it is important to keep things in perspective - our closest rivals for third spot, Hearts and Dundee United, have both proved adept at taking points of the Old Firm this season. While many will think that the "big" games have now passed, there are two even bigger ones coming up in February.

However, a win at Falkirk on Saturday will set February up nicely, with the month surely being kicked off with a home win against East Fife in the Scottish Cup. It is always difficult to know which Falkirk side will turn up, but we rarely have easy games against them. Hopefully the confidence has returned and Seve and Zander can continue their solid form at the back, as I certainly fancy us to nick at least one goal. All Dons fans will also be looking forward to the return of Jamie Smith who, on form, is terrific to watch.

Finally, I noticed Jimmy Calderwood's recent comments about the comments at the start of the season being hard to take. I can see both sides of the coin here...JC must take a lot of credit for our European run last season, and everyone got some fantastic memories. However, there is no manager in the SPL who will not be criticised if their team lose at home to ICT and Hamilton in consecutive weeks, aside from some of the performances at Pittodrie which were lacklustre to say the least. And while Europe is still fresh in everyone's mind, so is Queen of the South. The team are playing better, and I would say the majority of fans are behind JC - so let's move on and look forward to the rest of the season with confidence.
