According to reports, Aberdeen is getting closer to selecting a new permanent manager. The Dons leadership is currently deliberating over three options and intends to appoint a new manager in time for this Saturday’s pivotal Premiership encounter at Pittodrie against fellow league underdogs Ross County. Aberdeen is now three points ahead of County in 11th place in the premier league, having been without a manager since interim appointment Neil Warnock quit more than two weeks ago. Numerous individuals, including Zeljko Sopic, Michael O’Nell, Jimmy Thelin, and Neil Lennon, have been connected to the position.

Beautiful goal scored by a Hearts loanee
Dexter Lembikisa, on loan from Hearts, scored a spectacular long-range goal for his native Jamaica as they won 1-0 at home against Panama in a Nations League match. In Arlington, Texas, the Reggae Boyz took the lead shortly before halftime thanks to a goal from the 20-year-old who is on loan from Wolves. Even when Lembikisa was later booked, the Jamaicans managed to win.
An agreement for McTominay
There are rumours that Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay will be presented with a new three-year contract deal. The 27-year-old was strongly connected to a January transfer to West Ham, but it is now being said that he will receive a lucrative contract to stay at Old Trafford, where he is contributed to several crucial goals this year.
Horn walks away from Rose
Longtime manager Robbie Horn and Bonnyrigg Rose have split ways. The Midlothian team decided to break off relations following Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Dumbarton, as they currently find themselves in third place in League Two, barely two points above safety. After 1,963 days of leadership, Horn had led the New Dundas Park team from the Lowland League to promotion.
Shankland is tipped by Miller
Former Scotland, Rangers, and Celtic striker Kenny Miller feels that Jack Butland, James Tavernier, Matt O’Riley, and Lawrence Shankland should be on the shortlist for player of the year, but that the in-form Jambos talisman is better than his Old Firm colleagues. Miller remarked, “I think Lawrence Shankland tops the lot of them as we sit here now.” It is difficult to argue against the Hearts striker winning Scotland’s Player of the Year award, in my opinion. A few years back, I wondered if Shankland could make it in the major leagues. But when he scored 24 for Hearts in the league last year, he silenced me completely. To emphasize his point even further, he will surpass it as he now sits at 21 in the league and 28 overall for club and nation. That for a team that is not Old Firm? It is impossible to downplay the accomplishment. For all the respect he deserves, he is probably not receiving the level of service Celtic and Rangers strikers receive. And yet, he is significantly outshooting everyone at those clubs.”
