Scans show Lyons' knee injury is not serious; midfielder hopeful of facing Dundee United on Saturday.

Aberdeen midfielder Brad Lyons came off at half-time during the weekend win over St Mirren after his knee flared up. The 29-year-old, who missed several weeks earlier in the season with an injury to the same knee, underwent precautionary scans that returned positive results. Manager Stephen Robinson received a major boost as the injury is not serious. Lyons is optimistic about being available for Saturday's trip to Dundee United, with the Rangers Premier Sports Cup semi-final also on the horizon.
