WATCH: McInnes future set to be resolved today
Last updated 7th Dec 2017
Aberdeen coach Paul Sheerin expects the ongoing saga surrounding the future of Rangers target Derek McInnes to be resolved later on Thursday.
Rangers had an approach to speak to the Aberdeen manager rejected on Tuesday but the 46 year-old has since held lengthy talks with Dons chairman Stewart Milne.
Both McInnes and his assistant Tony Docherty were absent from training for the second day running on Thursday as those discussions continued.
Now Dons under-20s boss Sheerin - who has been preparing the team for Friday night's clash at Dundee alongside first team-coach Barry Robson - revealed a conclusion could be in sight as he stood in for McInnes at the club's pre-match media conference.
When asked what he had been told, Sheerin said: "Just that there will be a resolution at some stage today either way, whether the manager will be here or won't. Hopefully be the close of play today we'll have a decision on that.'"
