Motherwell hope to name a new boss as soon as possible after Mark McGhee decided to take on the managerial reins at Aberdeen.

McGhee had spent the last two seasons at Fir Park but now returns to a club where he enjoyed success as a player in the 1980s.

Steelmen chairman John Boyle told his club's official website: "We're extremely sorry to see Mark leave for Aberdeen. However, it's unrealistic for us to stand in the way of his career ambitions.

"He was a great servant to Motherwell and brought us considerable success in the short spell he was at Fir Park.

"Meanwhile, the task begins to find a new manager. This will be done on a timely basis and we'll quickly address what arrangements can be put in place to look after the team during the early European campaign."
