Aberdeen have appointed Jim Goodwin as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The former Republic of Ireland international, 40, left his role as St Mirren boss to replace Stephen Glass, who was sacked on Monday following the club’s Scottish Cup exit.
Goodwin will be joined by assistant Lee Sharp at Pittodrie and will be at Saturday’s match against Motherwell.
Ex-Hibernian manager Jack Ross had also been linked with the job while ex-Celtic midfielder Paul Lambert stated an interest in the role.
Aberdeen are eighth in the Scottish Premiership, two points behind St Mirren who are now searching for a new manager.
