Aberdeen Secures Crucial Win Over 10-Man Hibernian, Gives Robinson First Victory as Head Coach

Aberdeen earned a vital 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over Hibernian, with Kevin Nisbet scoring a brace to hand Stephen Robinson his first victory as head coach. Nisbet's first goal came from the penalty spot after Grant Hanley was sent off for bringing down Toyosi Olusanya, before the striker sealed the win with a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar. The Dons had been struggling, with just one win in their last 16 matches, but this victory provides a much-needed boost in their battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot. Hibs, who were unbeaten in their last five matches, were left to rue the red card and the timing of the second goal, which came as a 'sucker punch' according to boss David Gray. Robinson praised his team's performance, saying they 'stood up and were counted' and that he was 'very proud' of how they played.
