Aberdeen FC should sign up Highland League hitmen

ABERDEEN FC were today urged to scour the Highland League for talent by former hitman Duncan Shearer.

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee is operating within a tight budget for summer signings, and so far the only player to agree to move to Pittodrie is centre-half Rory McArdle from Rochdale.

But ex-Scotland marksman Shearer insisted there is a pool of cheap potential talent right on their doorstep in the shape of the Highland League.

He said: “Aberdeen should be scouring the league for players, because there will be guys with the potential to do a job for them there.”
