Wimmer among Aberdeen applicants - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reports that Aberdeen are moving toward a shortlist for their next manager within the next 24 to 48 hours, with candidates being considered from Scotland, the wider UK and Europe. Among those linked is Michael Wimmer, the former Motherwell manager who was in charge for about three months and has recently left his role as assistant at Holsten Kiel. The report presents this as part of the club’s ongoing search rather than a final decision.

The same gossip round-up also says St Johnstone owner Adam Webb is relaxed about any possible Aberdeen move for manager Simo Valakari, describing him as committed to his current project. That adds to the picture of Aberdeen assessing several options while clubs in Scotland monitor the situation.

Beyond the Aberdeen vacancy, the BBC notes that former Rangers loan winger Mikey Moore wants to return to Ibrox in the future and win trophies there, although he chose not to go back on loan after Danny Rohl’s departure. Other items in the roundup mention transfer interest in Celtic midfielder Mika Baur, Rangers’ stance on Tuur Rommens, and Greig Mailer’s departure from Rangers’ finance department. These are presented as unconfirmed industry gossip and should be treated cautiously.
