Now Brown see Rae has perfect to bring some experienced to his squad and join up with ex-Cardiff City striker Josh Magennis. Aberdeen have launched a late bid to hijack Dundee United's move for Middlesbrough midfielder Willo Flood an ex-Cardiff City player.

Speaking about Rae the Aberdeen boss Brown said.

"We have expressed an interest in Gavin and have already spoken to his agent because we need some more experienced players and he fits the bill.
"He is a player I have admired for a number of years and I gave him his first Scotland cap in 2001 when he was still with Dundee.
"I also attempted to get him on loan to Aberdeen from Cardiff in January but that fell through because their manager, Dave Jones, felt he was needed for their bid to gain promotion.
"However, he is leaving Cardiff now so we have to look at getting him.
"If there are offers from other Championship clubs then there is no way we will be able to compete.
"We must show ambition and he is not the only player from that league we have expressed interest in."
