FOUND: Jim goodwin charged over hibs blast as aberdeen boss to explain ryan porteous cheat accusation - What They Never Told You

Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin has been served a notice of complaint by the Scottish FA for his comments about Hibs defender Ryan Porteous.

The Dons boss labelled the Hibs centre-back a 'cheat' after he won a penalty in the 3-1 Hibees success over Aberdeen last Saturday, which counterpart Liam Scales earned a second booking for with Porteous tumbling to the floor. Now he's been hit with a breach of disciplinary rules 73 and 77 in the SFA's code.

That section talks about bringing the game into disrepute and acting in the best interests of the game. A hearing has been set for Thursday October 6, which will come just under a week after Premiership action resumes following the international break. Luis 'Duk' Lopes put Aberdeen ahead in the game against Martin Boyle's but Martin Boyle's penalty and a Josh Campbell penalty sealed success for home manager Lee Johnson.
