Pittodrie chairman Dave Cormack hopes the club, fans and players can begin to heal from the public humiliation and loss of trust caused by the Aberdeen eight. Following an internal investigation, Cormack confirmed the eight Aberdeen players who attended a busy city centre bar, against government guidance and the club’s Covid-19 procedures, have been “heavily fined and reprimanded”. Now the punishments have been dispensed, Cormack hopes the players can redeem themselves. “They not only went against government guidance but also breached our own Covid-19 procedures, set out by the club to all players and staff. Two Aberdeen players subsequently tested positive for the virus while the other six were forced to self-isolate for 14 days.
