About this episode

Graeme reacts to a frustrating defeat to Rangers, discussing performance issues, transfer news, and managerial updates.

On this week’s edition of the AFC DONScast, Graeme reacts to a frustrating double-header that ended in defeat to Rangers at Pittodrie. We dissect the "turgid" performance, the defensive errors, and the fan reaction that has labeled the current squad "soft" and "naive." In this episode: Match Review: A 2-0 loss to Rangers leaves the Dons sitting eighth in the table. We discuss the lack of cutting edge, the VAR controversy, and the defensive frailties exposed by the visitors. Transfer Centre: The January window is in full swing. We explore the likely exits of Kusini Yengi and Nicolas Milanovic, the uncertainty surrounding Leighton Clarkson, and the Dons' battle to sign Dundee defender Luke Graham against English competition. Managerial Merry-Go-Round: With Uwe Rösler ruling himself out, we look at the new favourite: German manager Markus Gisdol. Plus, we hear from former assistant Christer Persson on his exit. Club News: A warning from the SPFL regarding pyrotechnics and an update on the Aberdeen Women’s fixture. Why not join the debate at DONStalk.co.uk .
