Scott Brown fires Aberdeen rocket as skipper fears 'toughness' isn't all that's missing

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Unimpressed Scott Brown has roasted the Aberdeen dressing room for believing they were in for a stroll against St Mirren. The Dons blew a chance to turn up the heat on the Premiership top four as their positive return from the break hit the buffers in Paisley.

Stephen Glass’ side tumbled to defeat to the Buddies and Brown suggested the miserable display might have been down to complacency setting in at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen went in on the back of a decent run with just one defeat in seven – including the 1-1 draw with champions Rangers. It was a couple of steps forward and another one back and Brown admitted the Saints stumble wasn’t acceptable as the player coach sent a rocket in through the squad and told the group to get tough.He said: “We thought we could just turn up and if we won the game we would be sitting in a nice position in the league.“It doesn’t work like that, you have got to earn the right to play, earn the right to go and win games.

St Mirren defended really well, they had one shot on target and scored a fantastic goal.Get all the latest Sports news sent straight to your Inbox every day by signing up to our newsletter.We cover every morsel of information regarding your favourite club in the form of articles, videos and podcasts.The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours.To sign up, simply enter your email address into the link here.And if you aren't already, make sure you join the conversation over on our Facebook groups and Record Sport Instagram.“For us, it wasn’t good enough, one shot on target, whether it’s at home or away from home.“We have been behind a lot this season and always hit back and created chances and
