Michael Stewart slams Aberdeen's manager search and names two perfect candidates

Michael Stewart has blasted Aberdeen for looking outside of Scotland for their next manager and believes that Malky Mackay and Jack Ross would all be "perfect" candidates.

Elfsborg boss Jimmy Thelin was on chairman Dave Cormack's shortlist to succeed Robson but quickly moved to rule out a move from Sweden to the Granite City, while other managers from outside of Scotland have been touted as potential targets. But former Hearts and Hibs midfielder Stewart launched a scathing attack on Aberdeen's strategy of trying to attract managers from elsewhere to Pittodrie.

"Jack Ross was like marmite with Hibs fans and a lot of them were happy to see the back of him. But I will argue till I am blue in the face that he had them playing well and had got them third in the league and in a cup final.
