Jim Goodwin is determined to repay the faith of the Aberdeen board following their “courageous” decision not to sack him in the wake of Monday’s shock Scottish Cup defeat by Darvel.
Goodwin had frank discussions with the board after the humiliation in Ayrshire followed on from a 5-0 thrashing by Hearts and made it seven defeats in nine games.
Chairman Dave Cormack confirmed on Wednesday that Goodwin would be in the dugout for Saturday’s cinch Premiership encounter with Hibernian after being convinced that the players were behind the manager.
