All the best to Glenn at his new side.
Whelan was a big part of recent Villa sides, despite his age.
The Irish international will certainly make a big impact in Scotland, especially after his exploits with Villa.
Oh, and his penalty did get Steve Bruce sacked, so he will certainly be favourite with Villa fans for many years to come.
