Dons slated by Calderwood

Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood blasted his players after they stumbled to a 4-3 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Queen of the South.
The Dons missed out on the chance of a final against either St Johnstone or Rangers, with Calderwood left gutted by a dismal display at Hampden Park.
He said: "It was a massive, massive disappointment, one of the worst moments of my career and I hope my players are feeling the same.
"For some strange reason, Queens were better than us and defensively we were awful, as we have been all season.
"If defeat was down to an individual mistake or a refereeing mistake you can handle it. But losing four goals in any game at this level is a joke and to do it in a semi-final again is no good.
"Too many players didn't handle it and that has given me massive food for thought. I will have to have a long think about what happens in the summer."
