John McGlynn given Aberdeen manager backing by Craig Levein as Dave Cormack told to ask the question of Falkirk boss

Craig Levein backs Falkirk boss John McGlynn as a candidate to replace sacked Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson.

Aberdeen sacked manager Stephen Robinson on Monday evening following a 4-0 home defeat to Hibernian that left the Dons second bottom of the Scottish Premiership. New chief executive Adrian Bevington will lead the search for a successor.

Former Hearts and Scotland manager Craig Levein has publicly endorsed Falkirk boss John McGlynn for the role. The 65-year-old has transformed Falkirk from League One to third in the Premiership, recently beating Celtic and Hearts. Levein praised McGlynn's meticulous approach, emotional control, and body of work, saying he "ticks all the boxes" and deserves an opportunity at a bigger club.

Levein expressed surprise that McGlynn has not attracted interest from larger Scottish clubs or the national team, suggesting he may be undervalued despite his impressive record.
