Aberdeen Secures Crucial Victory Over Hibernian, Giving Robinson His First Win

Aberdeen achieved a vital 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over 10-man Hibernian, marking Stephen Robinson's first victory as head coach. Kevin Nisbet scored twice, first from a penalty spot after Grant Hanley was sent off and then with a powerful drive that crashed off the underside of the bar. The win boosts Aberdeen's hopes of avoiding the relegation play-off spot, while Hibernian's unbeaten run of five matches came to an end. The Dons had struggled with just one win in their last 16 matches, but Robinson's side showed determination and resilience to secure a morale-boosting clean sheet. Hibs boss David Gray felt the red card for Hanley was the correct decision, despite being accidental, and acknowledged that the timing of the second goal was a significant blow. Robinson praised his team's performance, citing their excellent play and the importance of keeping clean sheets, and expressed pride in how his players stood up to the pressure and criticism they have faced.
