ABERDEEN are expected to appoint Derek McInnes as their new manager.
Express Sport understands the former St Johnstone and Bristol City manager has agreed personal terms and could be installed, along with long-time assistant Tony Docherty, today. Current boss Craig Brown announced last week he was retiring and would step aside immediately if the club found an instant successor.
Aberdeen had a move for Ross County manager Derek Adams rebuffed before agreeing a deal with McInnes.
The 41-year-old’s first task at Pittodrie will be to try to earn the Dons a top-six spot.
Aberdeen sit in ninth place in the SPL and have won just once in 11 games in 2013, but they are only two points off the top half of the table with two games to come before the split.
