Sone Aluko has been finally given permission by Aberdeen to play for Nigeria in the Under-20 World Cup after returning from Spain to prove his fitness. Boss Mark McGhee told RedWeb: "It's the outcome I always anticipated.
"The important thing was that Sone came back and we got the opportunity to sit down and both of us explain ourselves, our positions, our understanding of events.
"Once that was done, I had a clear picture that nothing Sone did was done in anything less than good faith.
"Really, it was the result of a misunderstanding. I'm totally content with that.
"We're all happy with that situation and ultimately it's come out well."
Aberdeen were still struggling earlier on Friday to persuade the Nigeria Football Federation to return Aluko.
McGhee insisted he never had any intention of stopping Aluko playing for his country, even though release of players for FIFA under-20 tournaments is not compulsory.
"How can we possibly stand in the way of any boy having that sort of experience?" McGhee said.
"What I anticipate is that sort of experience is going to be so good for Sone; it's going to give him such confidence, that he's going to come back here a better player."
