The Aberdeen-based club are in the Championship for the 2022/23 season after winning the third tier last term.

He won League Two at New Central Park in the spring but departed in search of full-time opportunities.
Two things could derail a move for the 37-year-old. One is the club’s part-time status and the distance from his family in Edinburgh may prove to be 'stumbling blocks.'
Thomson started his coaching career at Rangers’ youth academy before making the switch to Fife last summer.
In that time he has continued punditry work with the Ibrox club's media team while he was also interviewed for the Kilmarnock job before it was offered to Derek McInnes. Thomson also pulled out of contention for Raith Rovers' management gig.
