"I want to thank the staff and my team-mates for believing in me. They said I would finally get the goal and I did." This was Dabbagh's 10th game for Aberdeen since he joined on loan from Charleroi at the turn of the year. A 90th-minute winner against Kilmarnock, a double against Queen's Park in the cup, and now this, a different stratosphere to the others. It's a goal that will mean more to him and football people in his homeland than we'll possibly ever know. His story is quite something. As a kid on the cobbles of Jerusalem, he idolised Robin van Persie. At the age of 16 he was playing for, and excelling with, Hilal al-Quds in the West Bank Premier League.
