Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass reckons HIS Dons were the club wronged by officials in the 1-1 draw with Rangers.

But there will be no letter from Pittodrie addressed to the SFA after the Ibrox side wrote to highlight their misgivings with Kevin Clancy's performance.


Furious Gers chiefs highlighted eight decisions and moments the team of officials were said to have misjudged.


But in Glass' view the only contentious call was Allan McGregor's challenge on Ryan Hedges inside the box.

He reckons Aberdeen deserved another penalty in addition to the one they got for handball on Alfredo Morelos, with Lewis Ferguson converting the spot-kick after Ianis Hagi's first-half opener.

"There was one big incident in the game that I think everyone would agree upon, but we ain’t complaining about it.

"Us not getting a penalty was the most high-profile incident in the game but I’m not going to complain about it.

"We weren’t happy at the time and we’re still not happy but we’re not going to achieve anything by complaining.

"It’s their business what they want to talk about. I don’t work for Rangers, I work for Aberdeen."
