ABERDEEN midfielder Dylan McGeouch admits he has turned to Netflix to help him get through the lockdown - even though it has meant reliving the agony of last season at Sunderland.

The Scotland cap was part of the Black Cats squad that missed out on promotion to the Championship following a play-off final loss to Charlton.

He was also an unused substitute when Jack Ross’ side lost the Checkatrade Trophy final to Portsmouth on penalties at Wembley in March 2019.

The behind the scenes drama of that ill-fated campaign was again captured by the cameras, with the second season of the popular documentary series airing on the streaming platform at the start of this month.

McGeouch has been kept busy in his personal life following the arrival of daughter Aviana on March 22 but admits he has turned to his television for some light entertainment.

The former Celtic and Hibs playmaker, who left the Stadium of Light for the Dons in January, said: “Once we put her down we sit down and unwind a bit and watch TV. 

“We watched the Sunderland ’Til I Die documentary, obviously because I was part of that. 

“I had seen the previous season and there was a lot of access and I think they monitored it a bit better with the players this time.

“I don’t think they were too happy with the full access. 

“When I was there it was tailored a bit more and more structured about when you see the cameras and speak to them.

“After the first few weeks it became the norm and you know when the cameras where there, it was a lot easier. You get used to it.

“It was disappointing we never got what we wanted at the end of the season. 

“There’s camera in your face for every game and training session and if it’s not going well it’s not good but if it is going well it’s amazing. 

“It’s the highs and lows of football. It’s good TV for the punters, as a player it wasn’t too bad. 

“But to not get what we wanted was tough to watch again on TV. 

“I’m sure they’ll get back to where they should be because they’re too big to be down the lower leagues, they’re a Premier League club.”

McGeouch was not in the match-day squad for the excruciating play-off final loss at Wembley to Charlton and even though he was also not needed against Pompey at English football’s national stadium, he admits that experience is something that with live him for a long time.

Speaking to Red TV, he added: “Wembley is an incredible stadium.

“It was a sell out, the noise and everything about it was incredible, one of the best stadiums I’ve been in. 

“I have that memory as well but it is bitter-sweet. 

“Football is all about experiences, it was amazing and the Sunderland fans were different class but we were disappointed not to get the win in the end.”
