DONS boss Derek McInnes today admitted he’s delighted Jonny Hayes will be back for the run-in to their league campaign.

Winger Hayes has missed their last two games after suffering a calf knock during their defeat by Celtic at the start of March.

He will return when they face Partick Thistle at Pittodrie on Saturday.

McInnes said: “It’s looking as if Jonny will be fine, which is great.

“He’s an important player for us.”

Midfielders Peter Pawlett and Willo Flood are also expected to be fit after being rested from the squad that featured in Andrew Considine’s testimonial match against FC Twente on Friday night.
