Derek McInnes has praised Shay Logan's contribution
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes last night praised Dons defender Shay Logan for another impressive display in the 1-0 win against Ross County.
Celtic midfielder Aleksandar Tonev was given a seven-match ban last week for racially abusing Logan when the sides met at Parkhead earlier in the season.
Celtic are set to appeal the decision but McInnes has been pleased that Logan’s level of performance has been unaffected by the incident.
McInnes said: “It says everything about him and he deserves to be commended. He is not an excitable boy, he is very grounded and popular in the dressing-room. We are pleased he has been vindicated and the right decision has been made. He’s kept his head down and there has been no drama.
“We as a club will stand by any of our players against any sort of abuse they get. We back them and Shay has had that from us. We kept quiet through the whole process and Shay has kept his head down and kept working hard.
“I don’t want to talk about Celtic appealing, they can do what they want. But we feel vindicated and the right decision was made.”
