Dons warn Gers McLean’s not for sale at any price
entering the final 12 months of his deal, they were warned he’s not available at any price.
Aberdeen have already lost Jack, Niall McGinn and Ash Taylor and sold Jonny Hayes to Celtic.
And MailSport believes that when Derek McInnes knocked back the chance to move to Sunderland, he wanted, and was given, assurances that no more players would be sold in this window as part of his talks.
McInnes’s only interest now is in adding to his squad before their f irst Europa League qualifier in a fortnight.
It’s believed they’re still hopeful their move for Scotland playmaker Shaun Maloney can go through in time for him to be registered for the tie against either Kazakhstan’s Ordabasy or Siroki Brijeg of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Meanwhi le, Aberdeen supporters reacted with horror yesterday as the club unveiled their new away football is brilliant. My first game was a really good result against such a good team.”
One thing he was less than chuffed with was the initiation ceremony that saw the rest of the squad take the clippers to his barnet.
He told Rangers TV: “It has always been a tradition when someone gets called up for the first team for the first time they get their head shaved up.
“I didn’t want to retaliate as there are some crazy guys there, so I had to go along with it. It’s growing back quickly, though, so it’s not too bad.
“It ’ s a great bunch of lads and it was great to be around them.” strip on social media – because it looks too much like a Rangers kit!
The light blue top goes on sale tomorrow morning but they shouldn’t expect a queue at the door if the sava ge response f rom supporters on Twitter is anything to go by.
The shi r t colour is a throwback to their pre-1903 days before three clubs merged to form the presentday Reds.
And they’ve had dark blue away kits twice in the past 25 years.
But heritage or not, the light blue seems to be a step too far for the Pittodrie faithful.
