The luck of the Irish? Trying telling that to Liam Scales or his gaffer Jim Goodwin right now.
Aberdeen defender Scales is adamant his side haven’t had the rub of the green since returning to Premiership action three games ago. And he catalogues a series of incidents in the last two matches, where woodwork has been hit four times, penalties conceded and last-gasp goals have conspired to heap pressure on his team.
That though can be eased on Scales and fellow Irishman Goodwin on Tuesday if they can beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. It’s no easy task against former Dons boss Derek McInnes but the on-loan Celt believes it has to be done. “It’s a very important night,” Scales admitted. “We haven’t really had any luck in the past week. We’ve scored some great goals against Rangers and St Mirren and on Saturday we also hit the post and the crossbar.
