Despite helping Aberdeen into Cup semi and now challenging Rangers for second, Newcastle loan keeper Freddie Woodman could now be left out.

Freddie Woodman after saving 3 spot-kicks: “It was an amazing evening. Football is about winning and winning trophies.”

Freddie Woodman “I’m quite impatient…Hopefully if I can do well here and go back to Newcastle, I’ll see what’s in store for me there.”

“Obviously Derek McInnes has spoken to Sunderland….and felt he was better off staying at Aberdeen.”
