Aberdeen have signed goalkeeper Per Kristian Bratveit on an 18-month contract after the Norway international's deal with Stromsgodset expired last month. Bratveit will provide backup to number one Dimitar Mitov after Nick Suman picked up a serious ankle injury in training. The 29-year-old came through the academy at hometown club Haugesund, making his first-team debut aged 18 in 2014 and playing over 100 times. He signed for Swedish club Djurgardens in 2019 and subsequently won his solitary Norway cap in 2020.

I don't think anybody should be bothered where I sit, even if I sit on top of the roof of the stadium, it doesn't really matter, Pfannenstiel told BBC Scotland. Time is moving on and in other countries it is very normal. I don't think everything needs to be within the norm. If there is something new, Scottish football should not just think about how it was in the past. Why not look into new things?

"I don't think he lost the changing room. The players have got to take responsibility. I had a chat [with them]- a few home truths. It's sad that Jimmy's lost his job, but the games are coming thick and fast and I've got to pick them up for tomorrow. It's a clean slate, a fresh start. I'll pick the team that I think is good enough to get a result."

My opinion, and this is not just about Aberdeen, but for the whole Scottish Premiership, is that if it takes four minutes to make a decision, it's not clear and obvious," Cormack told BBC Scotland.

Only Fiorentina, courtesy of away goals scored, are above them in the table. To compound matters, the Scottish Cup winners' campaign stands in stark contrast as they sit bottom after their worst ever loss in European competition, a 6-0 drubbing by AEK Athens. With this game marking the halfway point in the campaign, Jimmy Thelin's side simply have to start picking up points if they want to reach the knockout stage.

Luton Town must significantly enhance their offer for Shayden Morris after falling short with two bids, with the latest being around 600,000.

Sister club Chelsea is supporting Strasbourg's £4 million bid for Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller, aged 18, demonstrating close ties between the clubs.
