Ally McCoist wasted no time in hitting back at Chris Sutton’s Rangers jibe after the former Celtic star claimed officials play on until the Ibrox side score.
The Light Blues struck twice in stoppage time at Pittodrie on Tuesday to claim a 3-2 victory after they had been staring a 2-1 defeat in the face. Duk and Leighton Clarkson had put Aberdeen in front after Fashion Sakala’s early opener, and the hosts were set for a first home win over the Ibrox side since 2016.
But Scott Arfield had other ideas, equalising as the Reds tried to see out the remaining minutes, and then added the real sickener by scoring the winner. The goals made it a second 3-2 triumph in as many games for Michael Beale, who watched his players come from behind to beat Hibs by the scoreline, although they got that one done with plenty of time left on the clock. Jim Goodwin had come in for criticism after setting up an ultra defensive side in the weekend clash with Celtic. Aberdeen’s resistance was broken by a late Callum Mcgregor strike.
