JIM Goodwin last night admitted that Ant Stewart’s red card in the Viaplay Cup semi-final against Rangers at Hampden had left Aberdeen in a “very difficult” situation.
But Goodwin refused to protest about a controversial incident involving Pittodrie defender Liam Scales and Ibrox winger Ryan Kent shortly after his team was reduced to 10 men.
The Irishman admitted that his captain Stewart had deserved to be red carded by referee Nick Walsh for a foul on Fashion Sakala in injury-time in a game his side lost 2-1 after extra-time.
