Frustrated Jim Goodwin told the Red Army to direct their anger at him rather than his Aberdeen players. The Dons were dominant at home but couldn’t find a way past bottom side Ross County and were left to settle for a dull draw.
It saw Aberdeen pick up just their first point in 15 but it wasn’t enough for a number of fans who booed at the final whistle and when Goodwin went around the pitch to clap the Red Army. Aberdeen still sit in fourth spot but Hearts have pulled five points clear in third while their chasing rivals could also overtake them with their games in hand.
Goodwin said: "We recognise the fans' frustration and supporters up and down the land are all very similar. When their teams are winning they are happy with what they're seeing but when they are not picking up points they are not long in letting you know about it. Our supporters are obviously showing their disappointment and frustration at the end of the game.
