Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has defended incoming player-coach Scott Brown’s character in a YouTube Q&A with fans. Celtic skipper Brown has agreed to join the Dons from next season under new manager Stephen Glass. It’s proved a controversial move for the club, following Brown’s defence of team-mate Aleksandar Tonev when the Bulgarian was accused of racially abusing Aberdeen right-back Shay Logan in September 2014. Cormack insisted there is no issue between Brown and Logan – who left Aberdeen for a loan at Hearts earlier this week. The chief said “players invariably support” their team-mates and “that does not make them guilty of the crime their team-mate is punished for”.
