Police sirens outside the stadium and more alarm bells ringing inside it for Dundee United, as a much-improved performance still failed to yield a win under ...

For a start, he seemed to calculate that the best way to secure a positive result was to get the best players on the pitch. There was also a recall for goalkeeper Mark Birighetti, who endured such an afternoon to forget on the last occasion he played at Tannadice. Barry Robson questioned the truth of the new manager bounce on the eve of the game. Goodwin had made a very deliberate point of applauding them as he emerged from the tunnel to make that eagerly-awaited walk to the home dug out. He knew the gamble involved, including when it comes to his own reputation. It is the first time Aberdeen have won at Tannadice since 2015-16, which was the last time United were relegated from the top flight. He needs to get into the habit of winning here – and fast. Steven Fletcher should have put them ahead in the opening two minutes after the ball broke invitingly into his path after Jamie McGrath challenged Duk. Jack MacKenzie hauled down Sadat Anaku, who had just come on for United, on the edge of the box. More than just barbs were also thrown at Goodwin, who until very recently was one of their own, as Aberdeen recovered from the concession of an unnecessary penalty, which was converted by Jamie McGrath. But what hurt him more was watching United, not for the first time this season, capitulate having managed to drag themselves back into the game with 17 minutes left. The canister landed maybe a yard from the young Aberdeen midfielder.

Aberdeen have vowed to work with Police Scotland and Dundee United to identify fans who aimed missiles at Jim Goodwin and ignited pyro.

“Enquiries have begun and we are working together with Dundee United FC and Police Scotland. They have let the club and themselves down. “Our plea to this minority is to continue to give the team the fantastic support that we are known for but do that in a safe and respectful manner that doesn’t endanger either the health or safety of any player, staff or your fellow supporters.”

Jim Goodwin says he was targeted by 'bad eggs' in the 3000 travelling Aberdeen support on Saturday night.

“Enquiries have begun and we are working together with Dundee United FC and Police Scotland. They have let the club and themselves down. Enquiries are ongoing and this will include a review of CCTV footage.” “I have to say that it is definitely just a minority. “But I was disappointed that there were coins and other projectiles getting chucked down on top of me. If and when the culprits are identified, they will be dealt with by both the club and the authorities.
