Aberdeen fans were given a glimpse of life without captain Scott Brown after the 36-year-old sat out of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Motherwell due to a hamstring injury.
Brown joined Aberdeen last summer in a surprise player-coach role but the sacking of Stephen Glass may have thrown a curve-ball to whatever coaching path the former Celtic skipper had in mind.
Record Sport revealed on Friday that Brown had been granted permission to speak to the St Mirren over the post vacated by Jim Goodwin.
