McGhee turns to young striker
Aberdeen, 17:05, August 20, 2009 ,
Mark McGhee is expected to hand young striker Michael Paton a start against Hamilton in the SPL on Saturday.
The 20-year-old came off the bench in the second half of Saturday's opening-day defeat against Celtic but looks like getting the nod to start against the Accies.
And McGhee admits he has no problem utilising his younger players as he looks to get the Dons season up and running.
He said: "I've never been scared to give good players their opportunity if they have convinced me they want it enough.
"I don't see it as that big a risk because young players tend to give you plenty of fresh energy and enthusiasm."
