ABERDEEN boss Derek McInnes has tied another of his Pittodrie prospects to a longer contract after defender Scott McKenna penned a new deal.
The 20-year-old’s new agreement will keep him at the club until the summer of 2021.
The Scotland Under-21 ace has started the Dons’ last three games and formed a promising partnership Kari Arnason.
Now he is looking forward to continuing his first-team education alongside the Icelandic international.
He told the official Aberdeen website: “Kari has been a great help to me with all the experience he has and it’s made the transition to first-team football a lot easier. I tend to take each game as it comes and not set targets, but obviously I want to keep my place first.”
McInnes added, “Scott was always one who we wanted to work with and he’s done exceptionally well over the last few games.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
