Stephen Glass and the Aberdeen record that lays woes bare as he follows Mark McGhee path

Under pressure Stephen Glass has made the worst start to a league season as Aberdeen boss in over a decade.

The Dons' boss saw his side slump to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to struggling Dundee as they extended their winless run.

Aberdeen have now gone 10 games with a win as they struggled to see of James McPake's men - who started the day without a victory all term and rock bottom of the Premiership.

The fans were left fuming at full-time as they called for Glass to walk away from the top job.

That now overtakes the early season showings of Mark McGhee's ill-fated spell in charge.

During the 2010-11 season, McGhee collected 10 points from his opening nine games of the campaign, before a seven-game losing run same the axe fall on the manager.

A 5-0 hammering from Hearts at Tynecastle proved to be the final straw as the former Pittodrie player walked away with just three wins going into December.

He left the club with a win percentage of just 24 cent, leaving him with the worst record of any permanent Aberdeen manager.

He was replaced by Craig Brown, who managed to steer the club survival and a ninth place finish.

Under Brown, the club also made trips to Hampden twice that same season in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup semi-finals.

Glass has now won just two of his opening nine league fixtures in charge in the Granite City.
