Craig Brown knows that with every victory, Barry Robson will strengthen his case to become the next Aberdeen manager. After all, there’s not many at Aberdeen to have scored against Barcelona.
Former Scotland international Robson has been put in interim charge, as the Pittodrie board take their time to consider their next managerial appointment after the disastrous appointment of Jim Goodwin. Robson has been in charge for two games so far and the word from above is they won’t be rushed into a knee-jerk appointment. That has also been backed up by the fact the club have allowed Robson to add experienced coach Steve Agnew to his backroom staff. The Aberdeen caretaker has so far batted away the question of him landing the job on a permanent basis.
Robson, however, already has growing support from within the Red Army and that has been boosted by the win last time out over Motherwell. He also took charge for the St Mirren game but they lost 3-1 after Ross McCrorie’s controversial early sending off. Former Aberdeen manager and director Brown knows how high a regard Robson is held within Pittodrie.
