Celtic 'left-field' option named in Aberdeen manager hunt by Kris Commons alongside two others

Kris Commons has named the 'left-field' candidate Aberdeen should consider as their next boss following Jim Goodwin's sacking.

The Dons moved swiftly following the 6-0 hammering by Hibs to dismiss their manager, who was under increased pressure following the shock Scottish Cup exit to Darvel. The club released a statement at the time following the defeat to the West of Scotland side saying they were seeking an immediate response from the manager and players. But that heavy defeat in the capital was the final straw with his exit confirmed minutes after the defeat.

The search for a new boss is underway for Dave Cormack with the Scottish Daily Express reporting that Chris Wilder is 'interested' in the vacant post. A host of names will be linked with the Pittodrie vacancy with an important appointment to be made following the unsuccessful periods for Stephen Glass and Jim Goodwin. One man former Celtic midfielder Commons has tipped as an outside shout is Hoops No2 John Kennedy. He also reckons Neil Lennon would be a safe bet but reckons it is an 'unlikely' appointment.
