Mark Wilson is convinced there will be no way back for Jim Goodwin if he loses at Easter Road after the “strange” situation of Aberdeen releasing a statement backing their manager before demanding an “immediate response” following their Scottish Cup shocker against Darvel.
But the ex-Celtic and Dundee Untied defender reckons the Irishman will be “rubbing his hands” at the prospect of taking on a Hibs side without their two bet players as striker Kevin Nisbet and Ryan Porteous are on the brink of moves to England ahead of the transfer window closing.
And a victory for the Dons could heap the pressure onto Goodwin’s dug-out rival following two derby drubbings at the hands of Hearts in quick succession. The game in Leith has been dubbed El Sackico with both bosses under sever pressure.
