Aberdeen interim manager Peter Leven rued Bojan Miovski’s late disallowed goal as the Dons were held to a 0-0 cinch Premiership draw away to bottom side Livingston.
The striker’s close-range effort looked to have settled a disappointing game in the final minute before it was disallowed, after VAR spotted Angus MacDonald had been offside in the build-up.
The Dons – who finished third last season – have endured a frustrating season and this result confirmed they would definitely finish in the bottom six this time around.
Leven said: “I’ve not seen the angle back. Angus (MacDonald) thought he was onside but I’ve not seen it back.
“It was a sickener at the end. It’s a great finish but overall I don’t think we did enough to put pressure on their goal.
“From back to middle we were all right but I don’t think we had that spark in the final third.
“It was difficult with the high winds and the dry pitch. We tried to get the ball down and play and we punched it through the lines.
“We saw that with the pass for Bojan and Leighton Clarkson got the ball a couple of times. It’s difficult for both teams.
“I see it as two points dropped to be honest. We don’t get the goal in the 90th minute but I’m delighted with the clean sheet.
“That’s really important to build on that but I’ve always said, if we can’t win we don’t lose.”
Livingston manager David Martindale, meanwhile, praised the character of his side as they hung on for a point to close the gap to second-bottom Ross County – to nine points – with six games remaining.
He said: “One thing you can never question from the group of players is the character. I thought they gave everything today.
“The weather wasn’t good. The amount of head knocks. It was stop-start and not any fluidity. In that first half, both teams had their best chances.
“The second half, I felt we were the better team if I’m honest. I am not being disrespectful to Aberdeen.
“We tried to build. We got into good offensive areas. I felt the execution in the final third was missing.
“Whether that was down to our decision-making or Aberdeen defending well. Probably a wee bit of both.
“We were unlucky not to take something more from the game today if I’m honest.”
