Jimmy Thelin saluted last minute hero Oday Dabbagh and admitted it was the sort of Pittodrie debut that every Aberdeen new boy would wish for.The Palestine international came off the bench to mark his Pittodrie debut with the only goal of the game against Kilmarnock, a dramatic 91st minute winner.

The on-loan Charleroi frontman’s goal was enough to keep the Dons third in the Premiership, thanks to back-to-back wins. Thelin said: “It was good for Oday to get his goal in front of the supporters.“It was good for him to get going.

It’s important for a striker to score when they join a new club, if you could wish a start you’d wish that. It’s also other things for a striker to contribute to victories for the team, but goals are important of course.

There can be a partnership between them, Kevin (Nisbet) has grown into the team, his fitness level, how he can compete for 90 minutes - he is much sharper.“He is helping us in the build up to connect and also has the power to go into the box.
