Jim Goodwin insists he's relishing being given an Aberdeen selection headache ahead of their trip to Dundee United on Saturday as he welcomes three key players back into his squad.
The Dons boss, who was handed an eight game ban by the SFA for comments made about Hibs' Ryan Porteous, is able to add both Liam Scales and Leighton Clarkson to his travelling party after suspension while midfield starlet Connor Barron is edging closer to a long-awaited return. The 20-year-old had a breakthrough second half of last season but suffered a serious injury in pre-season meaning Ylber Ramadani and Ross McCrorie have occupied the midfield berth for the Pittodrie club.
Goodwin's men go into the game on the back of an impressive 4-1 win over Kilmarnock and are looking to replicate their free-scoring home form on the road when they head down the A90 to Tannadice. Asked about how preparations were going ahead of the game, he confirmed Barron's road to being back out on the pitch is close.
