Stephen Robinson faces an uncertain future at Aberdeen following a damaging 4-0 home defeat by Hibernian, leaving the club in the relegation play-off spot. The Pittodrie manager, already under intense scrutiny, vowed to "keep fighting until told otherwise" after the "unacceptable" result. Former Scotland international Willie Miller criticized the performance as "utterly embarrassing," stating Robinson looks "a man lost." With the team scoring just three goals in six league games at Pittodrie and sitting bottom of the table alongside Kilmarnock, pressure has mounted on the head coach.
Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton suggested Robinson should "do the honourable thing and walk away," while Alan Hutton and Charlie Mulgrew noted the players appeared to give up. Aberdeen have lost four consecutive games in all competitions, winning only six of 21 league matches this season. Fifteen new players were signed in the summer, but few have made a positive impact, with recruitment criticized as "poor" by Miller.
The club sits just above Kilmarnock in the table, with a big decision looming for chief executive Adrian Bevington, appointed just a month and a half ago. Should Robinson be dismissed, it would mark the sixth managerial change since Derek McInnes departed in 2021.
