Aberdeen have allayed fears over the injury suffered by Andrew Considine during their Hampden win over Rangers.

The defender was treated on the pitch for eight minutes during Sunday’s 1-0 Betfred Cup semi-final victory before being stretchered off and taken to hospital.

An Aberdeen statement on Monday read: “We can confirm that the injury sustained by Andrew Considine was not as serious as first thought, with the player now back at Pittodrie, having suffered a neck injury which is likely to keep him out of the squad for Wednesday’s match against Hamilton.”
