Podcast: What kind of boss do Aberdeen need & have Hibs turned a corner?
This week's football podcast looks at Scotland’s trip to North Macedonia, Aberdeen’s managerial search and whether Hibs have rediscovered their edge.
With Scotland preparing to face North Macedonia, the conversation stretches beyond the international fixture and into the shape of the domestic game. Aberdeen’s hunt for a new manager and Hibs’ attempt to keep their momentum going give the show plenty to unpack.
Aberdeen’s search naturally brings the question of what sort of boss the club need next. In a situation like this, the priorities are usually clear: a manager who can organise a team, handle pressure and establish a clear idea quickly. Clubs do not just look for a name; they look for someone who fits the demands of the job and the expectations around it.
That is why the discussion matters. A managerial appointment can alter the mood around a club almost immediately, even before results arrive, because it signals the direction the board wants to take. For supporters, the key issue is not only who takes charge, but whether that person can steady the team and build something durable.
Hibs, meanwhile, are being judged through a different lens: form. A good run can change the tone around a club fast, but it also creates a new test, because improvement only means so much if it cannot be sustained. Whether Hibs have truly turned a corner remains the central question, rather than a conclusion.
Against that backdrop, Scotland’s meeting with North Macedonia adds another layer to the week. International fixtures often pause club business for a moment, but they also sharpen the debate around confidence, selection and rhythm. Fans will be listening for clues on Aberdeen, Hibs and Scotland alike as the conversation unfolds.
