Barry Robson has been rewarded with a two year year deal as Aberdeen boss as a reward for his stunning spell as interim gaffer.
The 44-year-old picked up the pieces at Pittodrie after Jim Goodwin was axed following a 6-0 thrashing at Hibs and he led the Dons to a first home win over Rangers in seven years with a SEVENTH consecutive win for the Reds and his No.2 Steve Agnew is staying put as well.
Robson has put Aberdeen in pole position for third place and guaranteed European group stage football with the Dons leading Hearts by five points in the Scottish Premiership table and chairman Dave Cormack, chief executive Alan Burrows and the the football monitoring board have acted quickly to tie down the club’s former midfielder. And delighted Dave Cormack saluted the deal to secure Robson for keeps. He said: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Barry as men’s first team manager.
