ABERDEEN moved back within one point of Celtic with another show of bottle.

The Dons went ahead through Ash Taylor’s first-half header – only to be pegged back by Kilmarnock hitman Josh Magennis’ equaliser.

But Shay Logan – on his 100th appearance for the Reds – struck in 71 minutes to win the match.

Here’s three things we learned from Pittodrie

Resources stretched to the max

1 Aberdeen are being stretched to the limit in terms of resources as they contest this Premiership title. Veteran midfielder Barry Robson has been drafted in late in the season and could be a key man, while Simon Church is doing a job on his own up front in the absence of Adam Rooney. But their bench is thin on quality and McInnes had no experienced attacking option to call upon. The question is, can they sustain a challenge to Celtic with such few bodies to choose from?

Bin the bottle talk

2 It's not a question of bottle any more for the Dons. We're passed that stage in the title race and McInnes' men proved today – and on Tuesday night against Partick Thistle – that they can handle the pressure of competing at the top. When Killie equalised the punters got restless and the players could quite easily have gone into their shell and finished the game at 1-1. But like in midweek, they fought back to win. Bottle won't decide whether they're champions, it'll come down to whether they're good enough to pip Celtic.

Killie look frail

3 Killie's defensive frailties could see them go down. New gaffer Lee Clark has a terrific goalkeeper in Jamie MacDonald, who saved them from a heavier defeat at Pittodrie. And going forward the likes of Rory McKenzie, Greg Kiltie and Josh Magennis are a handful for anyone. Even new boy Julien Faubert showed a bit of quality in the middle of the park. But defensively they're weak and they concede too many soft goals. They'll have to be resilient and able to grind out results in order to survive but that looks questionable at the moment.
