Aberdeen have drawn up a seven-man shortlist to replace former manager Stephen Robinson, with ex-Scotland head coach Steve Clarke and former Hannover boss Christian Titz among the names under consideration, according to Sky Sports.
Managerial Shortlist and Transfer Rumours
Sky Sports reported that recently dismissed Burnley manager Nicky Hayen is also included on Aberdeen’s shortlist for the position. However, the Press and Journal reported that Clarke is settled living in London despite Aberdeen’s interest, while Falkirk manager John McGlynn remains keen to stay with his current club.
In player movement news, Football Insider reported that in-form Rangers striker Ryan Naderi would not be interested in a potential transfer to English Championship side West Ham United during the January window. Meanwhile, Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb reported that Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis was disappointed when Celtic failed to agree a transfer fee for him in the summer, though the player could be available in January for around €10 million.
International Milestones and Club Add-ons
The Courier reported that Dundee are due an add-on payment from Stoke City for former defender Luke Graham. The financial bonus was triggered after the 22-year-old made his first senior start for Scotland on Friday.
Across the city, Dundee United defender Michael Forbes is targeting a place in Northern Ireland’s starting lineup following a strong opening stint at Tannadice, according to the Courier.
