Santos with a goal just before half time. Don’t think I will be awake for 2nd half.

With VAR checks and cooling breaks this first half is almost a cure for insomnia.

Looks like he was manager of Stuttgart B in German 3 division a few years ago but an assistant rest of the time. Be an odd one if it is him as hardly screams experienced.

Marshall’s contract expires in June and he is now free to talk to other teams. I suspect we will not see him in an Aberdeen shirt now.

Very possibly but still unsettling time at club and always chance new manager might not like him.
