Brown: ‘Hayes will make Aberdeen FC fans forget about Aluko’

ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today insisted he has finally replaced Sone Aluko and Chris Maguire – with new signings Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn.

Former Inverness Caledonian Thistle winger Hayes and ex-Celtic striker McGinn have both been secured on two-year deals by Aberdeen FC.

Brown admitted Aberdeen’s attacking edge had been blunted last season following the loss of Maguire and Aluko, but Brown said: “With Hayes and McGinn on board I have now properly replaced Aluko and Maguire.”
