Maguire wows Dons boss

12 April 2012

Jimmy Calderwood hailed match-winner Chris Maguire after the striker fired Aberdeen into the top six of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with a dream double against Falkirk.

Maguire's two goals proved to be the difference between the sides, as he added to his last-gasp header in last weekend's dramatic 4-3 victory at Inverness.

He said: "Chris has dug us out again, from an unbelievable angle."

Calderwood thought that with the way Falkirk boss John Hughes would set out his team, this game was tailor-made for Maguire to shine.

"He is a good player and we have been a little bit unfair to him because Darren Mackie, Lee Miller and Steve Lovell have been doing really well upfront," the Dons boss added.

"I thought Falkirk would play very deep and they did, which is unlike John, but I would have done exactly the same thing if I was him.

"There wasn't going to be space for Darren's pace in behind them so we chose Chris.

"He is good on the ball with his first touch and he has the awareness.

"Luckily enough he got two goals for us."
