One of Scottish football's most colourful characters is back in the Premiership after Mark McGhee was appointed Dundee manager.
The Dens Park club parted ways with James McPake this week despite winning their last two matches, as they desperately look to stave off relegation.
It was former Motherwell and Aberdeen boss McGhee to whom they turned, despite the fact he'll be forced to sit out six of their last 13 games with a touchline ban.
The 64-year-old certainly has a wealth of experience, with close to 1000 games as a manager under his belt, but he's also known for being a bit on the eccentric side.
It's a move that couldn't be more cinch and McGhee is bound to bring entertainment – whether on the pitch or off.
Here are seven of his most angry, eye-catching or downright bizarre moments.
I'd rather be managing Celtic
As far as endearing yourself to the fans goes, declaring you'd actually much rather have had a different job is a bold strategy.
McGhee was one of the Aberdeen players who entered club folklore by beating Real Madrid in Gothenburg so his triumphant return as manager should have been a slam dunk.
Except the former striker decided that his unveiling was the perfect time for him to declare he'd rather have had the Celtic job.
McGhee bizarrely said: "Aberdeen fans know that in Scottish football on a scale of one to three you have Rangers and Celtic and then Aberdeen comes in third.
"I think that any player or manager has the right to want to play or manage at the best club possible.
"I have looked at that opportunity, I didn't get that job but I then moved on to come to Aberdeen quickly with a total positive feeling and a total commitment.
"The Celtic thing should not in any way undermine things - quite the opposite actually. Maybe Aberdeen fans should be thinking that they have a manager that was considered by Celtic.
"I sent Willie Miller a text last Friday to say that I was at a stage where I was prepared to speak seriously about coming to Aberdeen at the exclusion of anything that was happening at Celtic.
"I had not received any unofficial word from Celtic, it was just at that point I was worried about losing the opportunity of coming to Aberdeen so I sent Willie a text. I hope that reassures a few of the fans."
It did not.
From legend to idiot
Despite that misguided introduction, results will fix most things in football - so McGhee probably didn't need a 5-1 home defeat to Sigma Olomouc in his first match as Aberdeen boss.
The result was bad but it was the casual nature of the manager's post-match comments that infuriated the Red Army.
McGhee shrugged: "It's my first game and I've gone from a legend to an idiot but that's fine, I'm here for more than one game.
"We've not been able to improve the squad in the month I've been here and that's now looking like a bad failing.
"But we do have money to spend on two or three players and we will try hard to spend it before the league begins."
Spat on by fans
Following a 1-0 loss to Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup, then Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee alleged he was spat on by his own fans – something the supporters furiously denied.
And he placed the blame squarely at the feet of his players while claiming he'd actually slowed down to give the supporters more time to abuse him.
He said: "That walk from the dugout to the tunnel was the most humiliating experience of my life in any circumstances. Awful.
"I've said to the players they've set me up for that. I don't know who it was that spat on me. There were scarves getting thrown and bits of paper too but I took my time walking down there because I wanted them to have their say.
"I felt as if they deserved to vent their anger and they deserved the chance to vent it at me. I'm not going to dwell on it or ask for inquiries or post-mortems over who spat or threw paper. We deserved it.
"I'm prepared, given the way I felt about how bad it was, to accept it. I'm just glad none of them hit me.
"I'd a part to play in the result as well, so I'm not innocent. As much as I wasn't out there not going for headers and tackles I still had a part to play because I had an opportunity to speak to them before the game and I clearly didn't get my message across right.
"So I deserve the stick too and I'm going to use it as an incentive to improve things."
Spat with Celtic coach
A row over where Celtic should warm up at Fir Park led McGhee to slam one of Brendan Rodgers' coaches after a 4-3 defeat in December 2016.
Referring to Chris Davies after the match he said: "I think some of the staff weren’t really Celtic quality in terms of their behaviour.
“I don’t know his name, you’re telling me his name so I think that says it all.
“He seemed to be for some reason angry that they’d won, so explain that to me."
Davies got the last word though, hitting back by stating that McGhee knew exactly who he was - as he'd mentioned him in his programme notes.
Rangers low point
A 2-1 Scottish Cup defeat to Rangers at Ibrox wouldn't usually prompt much soul-searching but it did for McGhee in January 2017.
His Motherwell side conceded twice in the last five minutes to throw away the tie, and the manager didn't spare his players post-match.
A despondent McGhee said: "I've had something like 950 games as a manager and only twice before have I felt as badly as I feel now.
"Once when I was manager of Millwall and we lost the play-offs to Birmingham, and once when manager of Wolves where we lost to Crystal Palace for the same thing.
"This equals that feeling. I'm speechless, I've not spent a lot of time in there (the dressing room) talking, I've got nothing to say to them.
"I'm lost for words, I can't believe what I saw in the last 10 minutes of the game.
"The only thing I can think about now is that feeling that I've got, I keep reliving that last goal. I just can't get it out of my head and I won't for a long, long time.
"I certainly didn't expect we'd lose the game like that. Of course they're going to put pressure on you, and when they scored the equaliser with a few minutes to go you think, 'mm, got to see this out'.
But you don't expect to lose it in that way. It's just... unbearable really.
I'll get back and find some sort of story for them (the players) to justify how we think we can beat Rangers but right at this time I don't have that.
"Right at this time I really couldn't give a monkey's about the players because I'm hollow, I feel let down, I can't describe to you how bad I feel."
Get that tae F...
The most famous moment of them all as McGhee made a very unhappy return to Pittodrie.
His Motherwell side were beaten 7-2 on the night, with the former Aberdeen boss sent to the stands for his comments to fourth official John McKendrick - more on that later.
As he trudged up the stairs McGhee was subjected to the laughter of the Dons fans, with one branding him a clown.
But it was the fact someone was filming the long walk which appeared to enrage him most, with a video going viral of the Motherwell boss asking a police officer, 'is that allowed?' before his defining three-and-a-bit words: a resounding "get that tae F' as the video was abruptly cut off.
Consulting a lawyer over referee 'agenda'
McGhee didn't use his time in the Pittodrie stands to calm down, as he issued a blistering attack on the officials after the game - at one point claiming he'd be speaking to his lawyers.
He fumed: "I’m absolutely horrified by the attitude of the fourth official.
"I can’t express that strongly enough. I don’t want this to become a thing above the result and for it to become a distraction. It was a poor result.
"But the fourth official, before a ball was kicked, was causing issues which were unnecessary.
"I’d no feelings about getting involved. I was sitting on the bench making a couple of jokes about certain decisions and he reacted right away. It was absolutely diabolical his attitude. I’m absolutely horrified by it.
"I’m not blaming the referee – he’s got to do what he (the fourth official) says. But his attitude was disgusting. I’m shocked that I was subjected to that. It was totally unfair and unnecessary.
"I’ll speak to a lawyer about it. I start to think there is an agenda.
"Why is he starting like that before a ball is kicked? Aggressive and hostile – that’s the way it was. Totally unnecessary."
McGhee was handed a six match ban for those comments, which he'll have to serve before he gets to sit in the Dens Park dugout.
