ANDREW CONSIDINE |

Andrew Considine helped the Dons to victory at Hampden against Morton with the vital assist for Adam Rooney’s 69th minute opener. The Dons defender, like many of the Aberdeen players and supporters, enjoyed his first victory at the national stadium on Saturday.

Andrew, along with many of his teammates spoke to RedTV after the game:

“That’s the seventh time I have stepped out on to that pitch and I have finally managed to get a win, which is great.

“And to have an assist for Adam as well for the first goal was great.

“We knew it was going to be a very tough game,” said Considine, who helped Aberdeen lift the trophy at Celtic Park in 2014.

“When you come into cup games like this you could be playing any team in any league and it’s just a one-off game.

“They gave it their best shot and they were in our faces. They had one really really good chance which Joe made an incredible save from.

“They liked to turn us and hey got in behind us a few times but I wouldn’t say they created anything too clear cut. We managed to keep them at arms length, that’s credit from the front line from Adam to Mark (Reynolds) and Anthony (O’Connor) at the back.

“When you play teams from the lower leagues there is more of an expectation to win the game, each one of us know that, but it can be harder.

“Once the first 15-20 minutes were over and once they settled into the game, it was tough. But the boys showed their experience and they managed to get over the line.”
