Manager Neil McCann has been speaking to the media before Kilmarnock host Aberdeen in the League Cup quarter-finals on Saturday (17:45 BST).
McCann says the cup tie has a "different feel" from last weekend's league match between the sides and will be "hell for leather".
He adds: "We set our team out to win every game and we want to be aggressive. It's got a slightly different edge to it because it's a knockout competition."
Reaching the semi-final would give "everyone a lift" at Rugby Park and can act as a "catalyst to try and kick on from it".
