Jim Goodwin is delighted to have his SFA ban reduced but the Aberdeen boss admits he still wishes he could be involved from the dugout kicking every ball as his side host Hibs on Friday night.
The Pittodrie boss was handed an eight match touchline suspension for comments branding defender Ryan Porteous a "cheat" when the sides met in September but had it reduced to just three games after an appeal. And Goodwin admits he has got to thank personnel behind the scenes for the outcome falling in his favour which now means he will only be absent from the clash with Lee Johnson's men as well as a trip to face Livingston in midweek.
Goodwin said: "Really pleased with the outcome to be honest. Obviously I want to be involved on a matchday and I want to be there to support the team and my staff. I was pleased with the work the legal team done behind the scenes here to help get the ban reduced.
