Aberdeen earned a much-needed Scottish Premiership win over Hibernian, with Kevin Nisbet scoring a brace to secure a 2-0 victory and hand Stephen Robinson his first win as head coach. The match took a significant turn when Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya, resulting in a penalty that Nisbet coolly converted. Despite being a man down, Hibs struggled to create scoring opportunities, and Nisbet sealed the win with a powerful drive that crossed the line after 75 minutes. The victory provides a morale boost for Aberdeen, who had gone into the game with just one win in their last 16 matches.
Robinson praised his team's performance, stating that they 'stood up today and were counted,' while Hibs boss David Gray acknowledged that the correct decisions were made by the referee, albeit with unfortunate consequences for his team.
