Hide AdManchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has fended off competition from Norwich City's Angus Gunn, Aston Villa's John McGinn and Celtic's Callum McGregor to win the 2024 SFWA Men's International Player of the Year award.
While McTominay hasn't enjoyed too much success at club level with the Red Devils, he has been in inspired form for his country over the last 12 months. During the Euro 2024 qualifiers, he scored seven goals and notched up a single assist over the course of eight international games for the Tartan Army. His contributions played a major role in Scotland's journey to the Euros - but how far can they get in the finals of the competition?
Zeljko Sopic humourously dismisses Aberdeen links
HNK Rijeka head coach Zeljko Sopic is one of many head coaches who has been linked with the vacant Aberdeen job since the departure of Neil Warnock - however, he has rubbished these claims in humourous fashion.
Sopic noted the infamously bad weather in Scotland as a reason for not joining the Dons, saying that the rain would be 'not good for my hairstyle at all' [via Press and Journal].
Sopic is keeping his cards close to his chest - however, it seems apparent that he is dedicated to Rijeka and will not be making the jump to Aberdeen any time soon.
