Welcome Craig Brown! Hibs 1 - 2 Dons

Now this is a result the Dons absolutely needed, not only when looking at the SPL table but also in terms of the squad's confidence in their new boss. And, while this is not the post for a discussion of McGhee's faults, I do not think that this positive result is completely a coincidence.

This time Scott Vernon decided he'd like to get to watch a Dons goal from the third-person perspective, assisting on Folley's opener ten minutes from the break, before returning to regular form by securing the points by chesting in Hardley's skidding strike from distance. Subsequent opportunities were missed by both clubs, with Wotherspoon wasting an open chance directly to Langfield, and Magennis similarly directing a header from McArdle straight on to Brown's waiting arms. The Dons were admittedly fortunate to avoid a crushing penalty with just a few minutes remaining, and goal-line clearances by Ian Murray were required not once but twice to secure the full points.
