A hectic week of Premiership action is ahead for football fans in the city.
As they go to McDiarmid Park to face struggling St Johnstone in 2024, third-place Hearts will be looking to build on their perfect record. When Hibs hosts league leaders Celtic in a pivotal match at Easter Road, they will aim to recover from their disheartening loss to St Mirren.
The Scottish Premiership is also plenty of conversation points in the interim, such as Aberdeen’s recent management hire and Celtic’s unsuccessful attempt to acquire a player.
Neil Warnock has been named Aberdeen’s new temporary manager for the end of the current campaign. The seasoned manager takes over for Barry Robson, who was fired last week following a year in which the Dons finished the Premiership in ninth place.
The 75-year-old has previously managed the likes of Sheffield United, QPR, Cardiff City and most recently Huddersfield Town. His move to Pittodrie Stadium marks his 20th role in management and his first in Scottish football.
Warnock has vast experience in English football and fans will hope his appointment can galvanise the team until the end of the season.
However, despite Warnock’s arrival it is thought that Aberdeen are still on the search for a long term successor to lead them into the 2024/25 season.
One name that was high on the list was thought to be ex-Newcastle and Chelsea midfielder Scott Parker, according to the Daily Record. The 43-year-old has twice tasted promotion as a manager with Fulham and Bournemouth, but has been out of work since his departure from Club Brugge in March 2023.
The Daily Mail is aware, nevertheless, that Parker turned down the opportunity to lead Aberdeen because of his disapproval of the club’s frequent management turnover in recent years.
