5 - Jimmy Thelin has also secured his own place in Reds history as he joins Dave Halliday, Eddie Turnbull, Sir Alex Ferguson and Alex Smith in the ranks of the Dons’ Scottish Cup winning gaffers. It was the club’s eighth tournament win, putting them behind only Celtic (42), Rangers (34) and Queen’s Park (10).

Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov was the Hampden hero as he produced big saves before and during a penalty shoot-out to end their 35-year wait for Scottish Cup glory.
