Versatile defender Milne made 11 appearances for the Dons last season in a breakthrough campaign.
The defender is set to line up in Wiener Neustadt tonight as Scotland’s Under-21s face Austria in a friendly. Milne, 21, played for Aberdeen against Eintracht Frankfurt and HJK Helsinki in Europe last term. And on the domestic front, he also buried a spot-kick in the dramatic Scottish Cup semi-final shoot-out defeat to Celtic at Hampden.
The Swede brings with him a reputation as a manager who insists upon his side using a pressing game and Milne would love to be a part of Thelin’s Reds revolution. He said: “It’s always exciting getting a new manager. We’ve all heard great things. I haven’t met him yet, I don’t think any of the boys have.
“Even the Celtic game at Hampden, although we lost we showed so much quality. If we can do that consistently, we can be where we want to be. You look at the teams we played in Europe – we beat Eintracht Frankfurt and went toe to toe with PAOK and HJK Helsinki too. “That’s what I’ve grown up with, so I would say it suits my game. We are back training on June 24 and then straight into the League Cup. We will want to win all the group games. We reached the final last year and hope to do it again.”
