Aberdeen legend Willie Miller believes Jim Goodwin should be in the running for the vacant manager’s post at Pittodrie.
The Dons sacked Stephen Glass after a woeful run of form that sees them languishing in the bottom half of the Premiership table and sent packing out of the Scottish Cup by Motherwell at the weekend.
That was the final straw for the Aberdeen board, with Goodwin and former Saints boss Jack Ross high among the bookies’ favourites to take over.

And Miller, who shone for Aberdeen and Scotland in a glittering playing career, feels Goodwin has the experience required to succeed at Pittodrie.
Miller told BBC Sportsound: “I think it’s maybe experience that is needed now. It’s an experiment that’s been trialled, and because Stephen has gone it hasn’t worked.
“I think they would be looking at a more experienced manager, and then it’s the question of if the chairman and the board can work with them.
“I think an experienced manager brings a different challenge, and might challenge them a bit more.
“If they are willing to embrace that then I think they should.
“Jim Goodwin is a good shout. He is one that should be considered. I think he has done a good job (at St Mirren).”
