RED-HOTSTRIKE: MACKAY-STEVEN GOALSTUNSH­IBS

- BY PAUL THIRD

Aberdeen beat Hibernian 1-0 thanks to a super Gary Mackay-Steven strike as they moved up to fifth place in the Scottish Premiershi­p.

The windy conditions made for a challengin­g evening for both teams and goalmouth chances were slow in coming in a difficult first half for the sides.

But when a breakthrou­gh came it was worth waiting for as Dons winger MackayStev­en intercepte­d a poor Ryan Porteous pass before striding forward and beating Adam Bogdan with a powerful drive from 25 yards to give his side victory.
