Jim Goodwin has received the full backing of chairman Dave Cormack after Aberdeen's humiliating 5-0 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle.
The Aberdeen manager is under severe pressure following a number of poor results and performances since the return of the Scottish Premiership after the World Cup break. The Dons have lost five, won one and drawn one since mid December and are now nine points behind third-placed Hearts.
Fans were quick to take to social media following the game in the capital on Wednesday night where Aberdeen found themselves 4-0 down at half time. The Red Army will now descend on Darvel for what Goodwin will class as a must-win game in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. Anything but a win against the West of Scotland junior high flyers and Goodwin could be given his marching orders at Pittodrie. Ahead of the Monday night clash Goodwin revealed he is set for a meeting with Cormack later today, he said: "I've had tremendous backing from the board of directors and all of the staff here at Aberdeen.
