Jim Goodwin felt he had to park the bus against Celtic. But he refused to reveal whether he’ll allow his side to start motoring again when Rangers come to town.
The Aberdeen gaffer understands why Dons fans were annoyed at his game plan yesterday after they conceded late on to lose 1-0. For the majority of the game, they were solid defensively and looked capable of hanging on for a draw. But Callum McGregor’s late strike sealed the points for Celtic and left the home crowd disgruntled at full-time.
Goodwin says he couldn’t afford another Old Firm mauling after being hammered 4-1 by Rangers at Ibrox earlier this season. But he isn’t ruling out a more attacking approach for Gers’ visit to the Granite City on Tuesday night. Goodwin said: “The players put a lot into the game defensively. They were very organised and committed. We showed bags of concentration to get to the point where we were hoping to keep a clean sheet.
