The search for the next Aberdeen manager has intensified following the exit of Stephen Robinson, with club great Willie Miller urging the club to appoint a successor quickly. Former Wigan and Partick Thistle manager Gary Caldwell features on Aberdeen's managerial shortlist as they weigh up their options. Meanwhile, ex-Hearts manager Craig Levein has backed Falkirk manager John McGlynn for the post, emphasizing that Scottish football has overlooked McGlynn's managerial talent.
Elsewhere in the Scottish Premiership, fallout continues from the weekend action as Hearts forward Claudio Braga revealed a sense of shame inside the Tynecastle dressing room following Sunday's heavy 5-2 defeat against Falkirk. Several clubs are also managing fitness problems, with Hibernian having to monitor a stress fracture on a weekly basis for 21-year-old on-loan Stoke City forward Nathan Lowe. Celtic also face an absence after 22-year-old midfielder Mika Baur was ruled out of the Germany Under-21s squad due to an ankle injury sustained during the weekend win over Kilmarnock.
To maintain match sharpness away from competitive fixtures, Dundee have scheduled a bounce game against Livingston. The fixture has been arranged to grant game time to an assortment of squad members, including recent signing Alfie Harrison.
Focus also shifts to the national team setup during the current international window, where Scotland captain Andy Robertson is poised to equal Kenny Dalglish's record of 102 caps. The defender's achievement comes 40 years and a day after Dalglish last featured for the national team. Addressing the attack, former Scotland forward Kris Boyd has backed Torino forward Che Adams to return to leading the line for the national team in their upcoming fixtures.
