Spartans eye 'something really special'
Blair Henderson was the Spartans goal hero and the striker is looking forward to a trip to Pittodrie.
"What a game for the club, it will help us massively," he told BBC Radio Scotland.
"And for us, the players, what a tough game it's going to be. We’re already talking about how hard work it’s going to be. We'll have to do what we did against Ross County but work twice as hard.
"What a draw! The community and the volunteers deserve a big day out and they finally got it.
"There's levels to this game. Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish game and, at the moment, we're at the bottom. So it's going to be really difficult for us but hopefully we can do something really special."
