This Saturday will see Cammy Smith return to his old stomping ground of Pittodrie as St Mirren and Aberdeen battle it out for a place in the next round of the William Hill Scottish Cup.
Smith spoke to Buddievision about the Scottish Cup encounter and made it clear that the team is up for the challenge.
Smith said: "I'm really looking forward to it. I remember when the draw came out, it felt ages away, but now it's came round really fast.
"We're in good form, so we'll go up there to Aberdeen and we'll give it a really good shot and hopefully we can get a result, because we're good enough to do it. We'll prepare as normal and we will give it our best shot."
This will be Cammy's first appearance back in Aberdeen since signing permanently with St Mirren in the summer, having previously been on loan at Saints for the second half of the 2016/17 season.
The forward has been in fine form this season for the Buddies so far this season, scoring 11 goals in all competitions, including a rare headed goal in last weeks 2-0 victory over Dumbarton.
Looking ahead to Saturday's game, manager Jack Ross had nothing but compliments for Smith as he spoke about the players transition from the Dons to the Buddies.
He said: "The fact that we were able to get him here was partly due to Derek's fondness of him, and also Derek's belief that he could go on a be a really good player.
At the time, I would say, Aberdeen were as strong as they had been in a number of years. So it was more difficult to break through consistently - he played at 16, Cammy.
"He has been outstanding for us this season and I hope he goes and plays well individually, like he has been all season because it will mean a lot to him to go back there and play."
