00:00Full time here at Tyne Castle, Hart won Aberdeen, won a battling performance from the Jambos
00:05in a game where they probably could have taken three points. It was a first half goal from
00:11Leighton Clarkson that opened the scoring after two pretty troubling injuries for Hart.
00:16Stephen Kingsley in particular going down in what looked like a lot of discomfort with
00:20Stretcherdorf. Neil Critchley confirmed in his post-match press conference he was in
00:24crutches in the dressing room. He'll be scanned in the next 48 hours with a hamstring injury.
00:28Frankie Kent went down with a quad injury as well and was also substituted. So it was
00:32a makeshift back line by the time we got to half time. Craig Halkett as well in the middle
00:36of the defensive came on, only just about made the game after some minor back problems
00:40as well which he battled through throughout the game. But Harts were much improved in
00:44the second half again and were the better team. Created some chances, Misadrama taking
00:50one of them, a Blair Spittle cross. He bundled it in, he's claiming it, but it did come off
00:54Nicky Devlin so maybe a bit of dubiety as to who actually got that. But Misadrama certainly
00:58claiming it and they battled Harts towards the end, they huffed and puffed. Georgie Grant
01:03had a chance at near the end. Shankland had a few half chances as well. Aberdeen came
01:08close on a couple of occasions at 1-0 up that Craig Gordon saved. But overall, a decent
01:13battling point for Harts and they'll move on to next week's match away at home to Dundee
01:19sorry after a week's break which is probably much needed after a testing week. They've
01:24had Rangers, Celtic, Cercle Brugiae, Heidenheim all in the last four or five fixtures. So
01:30a week's break from action will do the team, or six days at least, will do the team a bit
01:34of good before they come back here to play Dundee and then another testing run of fixtures
01:39kicks off.
