Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes criticised Mikael Lustig for his behaviour in the closing seconds of Celtic's 1-0 Betfred Cup final win over the Dons at Hampden Park.

The Hoops right-back, who started the match as captain, mocked Dons midfielder Lewis Ferguson just before the final whistle confirmed that Ryan Christie's first-half strike had been enough for Celtic.

McInnes spoke to Lustig about the incident after the match and then said at his press conference: I felt his reaction to young Lewis Ferguson was unnecessary.

A grown man running up into Lewis's face and laughing and all the rest of it.

We have seen players from other clubs be yellow-carded for that and a lot made of it.

I thought he was trying to goad young Lewis and there was no need for it.

Lewis dealt with it well. He was the grown up in the situation.

It was just disappointing.'
