Steven Naismith came in as interim boss and is now part of the permanent set-up at the Jambos as they bid to improve on last season. A fourth placed finish earned a shot at Europa Conference League qualifying but guaranteed group stage football goes to Aberdeen after they finished third - a luxury the Gorgie side enjoyed last term under Neilson and McCulloch.

"I am doing a bit of reflecting as well, about what went wrong in the Hearts job.
"I'm really enjoying my time out, but I've no doubt ill start getting itchy feet soon."
