Match Report

TTA report

“A lively but scrappy game” (GH). McGowan (who was in magnificent form) injured his arm and Aberdeen scored while he was off for attention (8). Stott equalised (40) when the Aberdeen defence failed to cut out a cross. The second half saw chances at both ends, fast wing play and fine goalkeeping but it ended 1-1.
