Aberdeen next manager odds as Jack Ross early favourite to replace Stephen Glass
JACK ROSS is the early bookies’ favourite to land the Aberdeen job.
SunSport exclusively revealed earlier today that Stephen Glass had been axed by the Pittodrie outfit.
The club confirmed the news later in the morning with the search for his successor underway.
McBookie have released their early contenders to take over at Aberdeen with former Hibs gaffer Ross the current favourite.
St Mirren gaffer Jim Goodwin and ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon are also in the running.
Barry Robson and Scott Brown are two other names who make up the top end of the betting market.
The next manager market includes the likes of Kelty Hearts gaffer Kevin Thomson, Ronny Deila and Gordon Strachan.
Glass’ time at Pittodrie comes to an end after just 11 months.

The 45-year-old only replaced Derek McInnes in March last year.
But despite being given huge financial backing to revamp the club’s playing squad, results have been poor.
Aberdeen failed to win any of their last five matches with the Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Motherwell the final straw for owner Dave Cormack.
