Would be an odd choice for Celtic though, and not exactly the 'big name' or 'celtic minded' guy the legions of the unwashed will be after.

I think it's the kind of guy Celtic need. Young, talented, enthusiastic and cheap.

I'd be happy with that appointment. Could do well, and could stay for a long time, or could do well and move onto bigger and better things with Celtic getting a massive compensation package. Or he could do a Le Guen.

I'd take that chance though

Nigel Pepper to be the new Dons boss.

i remember sitting in the main stand at todders when nigel pepper made his debut as a sub.

think his first taste of action was the "challenge" that got him sent off.

So much for Moyes or Bilic then......

Bit of a step down for the tattie munchers in comparison to some of the names being banded about.

As you say though, he's young and might bring something different.

Yup. Alex Miller was the culprit. What a balloon eh?

And he got sent off two games in a row.

What a talent. Think he only played about 10 games. Dark days......

Alex Miller *shudders* that was a very dark part of the dons history.
I would have liked to see what jimmy could have done even with the money we used to sign him and one of the bulgarians, we wasted so much money on shit.

Alex Miller/Roy Aitken spent an absolute fortune!

Aitken spent £800K on Brian O' Neil. He should have been shot on the spot.

Along with £1million on the 2 bulgarians!

And many more disasters......

Alex Miller for the Billy Dodds/Robbie Winters fiasco too.... what was he thinking? We paid £800K for Dodds.... and gave them that plus Dodds for Winters.... lunacy.

I'm pretty sure the 2nd of those sendings off (the famous one against Celtic as his first contribution after coming on as a sub, was it Regi Blinker he tackled?) didn't actually make any contact with the player. I remember being furious while watching it on TV, not because of the tackle but because of the dive. Yet bizarrely it was never mentioned by the commentators or anyone else in the years since. Instead it's trotted out as another example of how shit Pepper was.

Anyone find it on youtube to confirm if I'm imagining the whole thing or not?
