Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has unintentionally dropped an absolute blunder on Twitter - seemingly revealing Celtic stopper Conor Hazard to be a transfer target.
The Scot, who now lives in Atlanta in the United States, accidentally replied to a tweet from current director of operations Alan Burrows with the words 'Conor Hazard' - which was swiftly deleted. But eagle-eyed fans captured screenshots of his tweet just in time, which may well have revealed a move for the Celtic reserve.
Filming a video in his garden after Scotland had beaten Norway, Cormack had a mischievous grin on his face which suggested that there were potentially legs in a move for the Northern Irishman - and it could see Aberdeen dip into the market again after they confirmed the signings of Nicky Devlin, Leighton Clarkson and Ester Sokler.

And Cormack cleared up the entire ordeal, with some people playing that a drunken state of mind was the reason - despite Cormack saying he had been teetotal for 15 years.
He said: "I have just deleted a tweet, people with notifications on saw it. I thought I was searching and I actually ended up replying to Alan Burrows.
"No one will believe me, no one one has mentioned Conor (Hazard) to me at all. I was just, simply, doing a whole bunch of searching that I usually do on players.
"Some think when I tweet this late in UK time that I have been at the sauce, I can't use that as an excuse because I have been tee-total for about 15 years."
Burrows then jokingly replied, suggest it wasn't Conor he was after - but his namesake Belgian, Eden, who has just been released by Real Madrid.
The former Motherwell man said: "One more of these and the Chairman is banned fae Twitter. And Dave, what you actually meant was Eden..."
