Ferguson laments refereeing decisionpublished at 13:48 GMT 11 February 2022
Motherwell v Aberdeen (Sat, 15:00)
Lewis Ferguson claimed refereeing decisions were “killing” Aberdeen as he reflected on the controversial nature of their defeat at the hands of Celtic.
Ferguson headed home the equaliser as Aberdeen came from two goals down at Pittodrie on Wednesday but Celtic went straight up the pitch to net the winner through Jota.
The Dons felt Liel Abada was offside when Anthony Ralston headed the ball into Jota’s path and that the winger impeded David Bates, but the goal was given and Celtic went on to win 3-2.
The Dons have now taken just two points from five games and slipped to ninth place in the Scottish Premiership.
“We were excellent in the second half and deserved a point,” Ferguson said.

“To get done by a goal like that, where it looks as if he is offside and there is a foul on Bates, it’s harsh on the boys.
“It was the same at the weekend when we were done by a refereeing decision and it is killing us at the minute.
“When you are not on a good run these sort of things don’t go your way.
“Celtic are on a good run and it goes their way. That’s just the way it works.
“It’s disappointing to get done by a decision that is out of our control.”
