Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes insists the return from long-term injury of Funso Ojo is a major boost in the bid to end Celtic’s 18-month undefeated domestic home run. After three months sidelined with a hamstring tear midfielder Ojo returned to action when starting the 1-0 defeat of Hamilton at Pittodrie last weekend. The Belgian managed just 45 minutes against Accies, but one half was McInnes’ plan for the £125,000 summer signing. McInnes believes Aberdeen play better with Ojo marshalling midfield and insists statistics back that up. “We knew he could only play 45 minutes in that game so it was a case of whether we started Funso or not.
