Aberdeen captain Joe Lewis has given new manager Stephen Glass an injury boost after fears his season were over were allayed. The Dons sent Lewis for a scan following a rib injury suffered in Saturday’s Scottish Cup win against Livingston at Pittodrie and the results show there is no break. Goalkeeper Lewis, 33, initially played on following the incident, but went down again soon after and was replaced by back-up keeper Gary Woods. Woods’ first action of the game on his debut was to pick Jay Emmanuel-Thomas’ opener out of the back of the net. Glass has not put a timescale on when the skipper will return but has backed Woods to be an able deputy.
