Aberdeen striker Michael Paton could be set for a January loan move to Austrian side FC Wacker Innsbruck.

The 21-year-old will spend several days on trial there before the club decides whether they want to recruit him until the end of the season. The Dons have confirmed Paton will be back in time for Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Celtic.

"Dons striker Michael Paton is in Austria this week on trial with FC Wacker Innsbruck with a view to a loan move in January until the end of the season," read a statement on the club's official website.

"The 21-year-old will return to Aberdeen on Friday to be available for selection for the weekend visit of Celtic."
