Anthony Stewart opens up on Aberdeen low point as former captain says he was told he 'had to leave' Pittodrie

Anthony Stewart says he was told he had to leave Aberdeen in the final hours of the transfer window despite having no desire to leave Pittodrie.

The Englishman is on loan at MK Dons after an 11th hour switch on January 31 and doesn’t know where his future lies with a year still to run on his contract at Aberdeen. Stewart was immediately installed as captain after being signed by Jim Goodwin from Wycombe last summer. But he accepts he didn’t fit with Barry Robson’s plans after the coach stepped into the breach following Goodwin’s sacking.

Robson wasted no time in bolstering the defence signing Angus MacDonald from Swindon and Mattie Pollock on loan from Watford. That left Stewart out in the cold and the centre-back says he was left with no option but to head to Stadium MK as his spell in the north east ended on a low.
