Calderwood says his spat with Foster is at an end

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood has insisted that his row with Dons defender Richard Foster is at an end.

Foster, 23, turned out for the reserves on Tuesday having been omitted from the squad for the 2-2 draw with Dundee United after a training ground bust-up.

When asked if the player would be in the squad for Saturday's visit of Kilmarnock Calderwood told BBC Scotland: "We'll see how it goes."

And had Foster learned his lesson? Calderwood said: "Time will tell."

However, the Dons boss praised the player's performance in the reserve fixture with Falkirk at Brechin City's Glebe Park.

"Richard's attitude was great," Calderwood said.

Local boy Foster graduated through the youth ranks at Pittodrie and has cemented his place in the first-team at left-back during Calderwood's reign.

The former Scotland under-21 international made his Dons debut in 2003 under former boss Steve Paterson.

In July 2007 he signed an extension to his contract which keeps him at the club until the summer of 2010.
