Calderwood puzzled by Dons draw

Jimmy Calderwood said his side were lethargic against Rangers

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood said he was disappointed his players failed to beat 10-man Rangers in the 1-1 draw at Pittodrie.

"Getting Lee Miller's goal just before half-time should've been a massive lift for us," he told BBC Sport.

"But we didn't cause them many problems. We were lethargic and our passing was poor.

"Our defence was poor and I don't think we deserved anything more than what we got from the game."

Lee McCulloch was sent off for an off-the-ball incident in the game, triggered by Chris Clark's lunge at Alan Hutton.

And Calderwood said Rangers were comfortable until Hutton was booked for a rash challenge on Clark.

"Then the game changed and big Lee got sent-off," he said.

"I didn't really see it. Then we get a break and a good goal just before half-time, but we didn't take it on.

"All credit to Rangers, I thought they did really well and they were more dangerous than us."
