Aberdeen have sacked Waterford native Jim Goodwin as manager following their latest humbling, a 6-0 hammering at Hibernian.

After the Dons board gave Goodwin a reprieve after Monday night’s “embarrassing” 1-0 Scottish Cup defeat to sixth-tier Darvel at Recreation Park, there was no coming back from this blow.
