St Mirren recover from Celtic mauling with Dons draw
Substitiute Tommy Wright's dramatic injury-time equaliser snatched a point for Aberdeen in their Scottish Premier League clash at St Mirren.
Craig Dargo struck from close range in the 77th minute and it looked like that would give the Buddies their first home win of 2009.
However, the Pittodrie men were not to be denied and in the third minute of added time, Wright, on for Miller just before the break, bulleted his header past Paisley keeper Chris Smith for a deserved leveller.
Victory was snatched from Gus MacPherson's side but it was still an improvement on Saturday's 7-0 mauling at Celtic.
The home side's best chance of the half came when they broke quickly in the 16th minute through Dargo.
The former Kilmarnock striker sent Dorman into the box with a perfectly-weighted pass but Dons keeper Jamie Langfield bravely blocked the attempted chip from 10 yards and the danger was cleared.
The visitors were dealt a blow in the 40th minute when Miller limped off to be replaced by Wright who should have scored within a minute of the restart.
Seconds into the second half Aberdeen wide-man Chris Maguire sent in an inviting cross from the right which evaded Smith but Wright failed to connect at the far post, the Dons substitute sliding into the goal as the ball skipped past.
The Dons looked more eager and in the 52nd minute, from a similar position, Maguire sent in another great cross but this time Darren Mackie scooped the ball over the bar from barely six yards out.
With 13 minutes of normal time left, the home side took the lead after a mistake by Dons defender Diamond.
When Mehmet drove a cross in from wide on the right, Diamond should have cleared but missed his kick allowing Dargo to knock the ball in from close range.
As rain turned to snow, Aberdeen tried to rally but it was Langfield who pulled off a great save from Barron with two minutes remaining.
In the final minute Mair headed a Mulgrew corner over the bar from eight yards out but in the third minute of injury-time, with all hope seemingly gone, Wright headed a dramatic equaliser from Sone Aluko's cross.
