Stephen Robinson praised debutant goalkeeper Marius Muller after the German helped Aberdeen overcome Queen’s Park in the Premier Sports Cup.

The Dons made it two wins out of two in Group A with Dan Happe netting his first Aberdeen goal early on and another debutant, Lewis Smith, making it 2-0 on 11 minutes.

Jack Hamilton replied for the Spiders in the second half and Muller’s triple save kept the hosts in front.

“We shouldn’t be relying on Marius to make a triple save,” manager Robinson told BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound.

“It was a fantastic save and that’s why we signed him so, on a positive, we’ve signed a very good goalkeeper.

“We should be out of sight in the game. We start really well with energy and then the game becomes too easy and we start taking liberties and slowing the game down, not doing simple things better than the others.

“We should’ve scored another two or three goals.

“A lot of positives, a lot of good performances from new players. We get better as we go, no doubt.”

Aberdeen travel to take on Queen of the South in Dumfries in their next fixture on Wednesday (19:45 BST) then finish Group A at home to Kelty Hearts on Saturday.
