Aberdeen striker David Goodwillie is enjoying his double act with Adam Rooney - but just wishes he was not the Irishman's understudy on the scoring charts.

While former Inverness striker Rooney has bagged 17 goals in 23 games so far, Goodwillie has managed just three goals.

He told RedTV: "I'm delighted with the way we fit together. It's been good. We feed off each other quite well Hopefully he will give me a few goals though - share them about with me.

"There are no hard feelings, I'm only joking.

"We are working well together and that can only be a good thing for the team."

While Rooney is out in front when it comes to finding the net, Pittodrie boss Derek McInnes has opted to use Goodwillie as his lone striker while shunting his other frontman out to the left of a five-man midfield.

Former Scotland striker Goodwillie is enjoying the challenge and hopes to break his eight-game scoring duck when the Dons host Kilmarnock on Saturday.

"I've been playing really well for the team in a different position. I'm still adapting to it but hopefully the goals will come.

"The manager has changed his formation and wants his best players on the pitch at all times. I'm just thankful I'm one of them. I'm enjoying the new role.

"I've had a few chances but need to start putting them away. That's up to me, though."
