Aberdeen face the unprecedented prospect of being relegated from Scotland's top flight for the first time in their 123-year history after a catastrophic run of form. The Dons have won just one of their last 15 Premiership games, a 4-1 defeat by Rangers that prompted manager Stephen Robinson to declare a relegation fight. Robinson, speaking after the loss, emphasized there is 'no hiding place' for his players, stating they must 'stick together' to escape the drop.

Their recent struggles, including a 10-game winless streak on the road and a defensive record that ranks worst in the bottom six, have left them eight points adrift of the 38-point safety benchmark with seven games remaining. Only Livingston have taken fewer points at home this season.
