ABERDEEN centre-back Scott McKenna has been hit by the devastating news his season is OVER.

It’s a shattering blow for his club and also Scotland with massive games ahead in the forthcoming weeks.

The international defender will be out for at least THREE months with a torn hamstring sustained in the Dons’ 2-0 Scottish Cup quarter-final win over St Mirren in Paisley on Saturday night.

McKenna, 23, limped out of the confrontation with Jim Goodwin’s outfit and scan results last night confirmed the player will be sidelined for the vital semi-final meeting with Celtic at Hampden next month – and the Scots’ Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel in Glasgow on Thursday, March 26.

There is a fear the Pittodrie faithful have seen the last of the towering back-four performer who was linked with a move to his boyhood favourites Celtic 18 months ago.

He has been linked with several English Championship teams and there could be movement in the summer transfer market.
