An Aberdeen fan has been linked to take over from Derek McInnes at Pittodrie.

Some betting sites have Ross Nicholson listed at 7/1 to take over.

But you are probably best saving your cash, it's just a very well executed prank by his friends.

They've even made a Wikipedia page that lists his current club as Czech side, Diznei Exeest AFC..

21-year-old Ross told us:

"A very funny and weird last 15-16 hours or so"

"Somehow a little tweet has gone all over the place."

Ross also answered the crucial question, would he take the job?

"Would happily take the job if Dave Comack came calling, that'd be a no brainer."
