Aberdeen are having major problems finding the net these days after firing blanks in their last five games but Dave Cormack can be credited with scoring an own goal.
And Derek McInnes probably had the first question for his chairman after he recently announced he was holding a no holds barred Q&A for supporters.
It would have been to ask Cormack why on earth he was staging such an event on the eve of a fixture where the Dons are looking to get a first victory in six games.
The match also just happens to be taking place at a venue where Aberdeen have only managed to record one victory in the last 17 years at the home of current champions Celtic.
In looking to improve on that woeful statistic, and the recent miserable sequence, then the last thing McInnes needed was supporters bombarding his boss with questions over his future.
The session was due to be available live on YouTube. And nobody could have blamed McInnes for thinking that of his chairman’s timing of the Q&A.
And it would be no surprise if the under-fire Dons boss made that very point to Cormack and resulted in the Pittodrie chief seeing sense in postponing it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with club chairmen being so open with fans and the move to invite supporters in for a cyberchat to chew the fat over the burning issues in the game was to be applauded.
In fact, it would be great if a few more would take a leaf out of Cormack’s book and give punters more of a voice at a time when season ticket holders are helping to keep the lights on at many clubs.
But it’s naive in the extreme on Cormack’s part to think that Tuesday's planned session would have been anything other than a free-for-all on McInnes.
Cormack is fairly active on social media and one look on Twitter these days would be enough for him to gauge the feelings of some of the Red Army regarding McInnes just now.
Giving them a live online platform to put the boot into the manager is the last thing the 49-year-old needed at this critical time of his tenure in the north east.
McInnes might not be every fans’ cup of tea but he deserves a bit of support from his chairman and certainly more than what would have turned into a debate over his future 24 hours prior to such a huge game.
Having promised transparency, Cormack has now invited criticism from fans who will have to wait for their big chance to grill the chairman and he can have few complaints over his embarrassing U-turn.
Given the run Aberdeen are on then there was probably never a good time to hold a Q&A right now but what possessed him to think the day before a match was ideal only he can answer as the trip to Parkhead was on the fixture list when it was announced.
It would only have served to distract McInnes and the players from the job in hand as they look to catch Hibs in the battle to finish best of the rest and failure to do that will bring enough questions - maybe even from Cormack himself.
