Aberdeen 4 - 1 Hibernian

The temporary goalkeeper problem mentioned in the last Reserve Report continued into the new year, and recent games have seen two more young players step into the breach - and, in each case, give a good account of themselves over two games.
For the Reserve League Cup third-round tie with Hibs and the Premier Reserve League meeting with St. Mirren, the young Dons' trialist keeper was Owen Lawson (Clackmannan Juniors), son of former East Stirlingshire manager Dennis Lawson, who is now assistant manager of Stenhousemuir under Jim Meakin.
Local Under-18 Youth League club Torry Vics provided keeper Martin Pirie for a midweek friendly against Inverurie Locos, which incidentally, the Pittodrie side won 2-1, and he was again in action in an East Reserve League fixture at Forfar.
Aberdeen's 4-1 victory over Hibs at Pittodrie assures another home tie in the quarter-final of the Reserve League Cup with St. Mirren, Ayr United or Kilmarnock as the visitors. Front men Andy McLeod and Andy Gibson shared Aberdeen's four cup-tie goals, the former completing a hat-trick and Gibson converting a penalty after being brought down, but Teddy Scott feels that midfield men Ian Robertson, Lee Gardner and Ian Cameron also played a prominent part in a good all-round team performance.
