ABERDEEN manager Mark McGhee is delighted after young starlet Fraser Fyvie scored his first professional goal for the Dons.
The talented teen set the Reds on their way with the first goal in a 3-0 mauling of Hearts at Tynecastle last night.
And at 16 years and 10 months, Fyvie beat the previous SPL record held by David Goodwillie by more than a month.
Dons boss McGhee said: "That's fantastic. What a good goal; what a finish.
"He had one earlier in the season when he might have gone through and scored and he didn't score.
"When I saw that, I was just hoping he would go one better, so fantastic.
"That's why he's in the team, because he's got all these ingredients.
"You see him sometimes holding off men and then of course his running and now his finishing."
Aberdeen have been trying for some time to extend Fyvie's contract.
"All we're trying to do is prolong it and give him more money," McGhee added.
"At the moment, he's playing for almost youth-team money.
"We'd like to obviously fix that."
McGhee believes Wednesday night's display, which was capped by second-half goals from Darren Mackie and Derek Young, was the Dons' best of the season.
"I think it's the most complete performance," said McGhee, whose side moved up to sixth, a point behind tonight's opponents.
"We've had moments in games but I think it's the most emphatic performance.
"Hopefully, we can maintain that now - that's the challenge."
McGhee shrugged off a frank exchange with opposite number Csaba Laszlo during the first half, saying: "Touchline antics are part of the game and that's something I enjoy tremendously."
Wednesday saw Aberdeen cancel Tommy Wright's contract after the forward failed to establish himself at Pittodrie.
McGhee said: "Tommy wanted to get south again I think.
"Up here, he's suffered a lot of injuries."
