Barry Robson admitted Aberdeen weren’t at their best but showed a spirit and put on a defensive display that the Gothenburg Greats would have been proud of.
The Dons greatest ever team were in town as they continued to mark the 40th anniversary of their famous European Cup Winners Cup win. They were guests of honour at Pittodrie and they watched the class of 2023 pick up a point which they hope will take Aberdeen another step closer to sealing third and a European return. Euro-chasing Hibs were the better team but failed to take their chances, with Kelle Roos saving a penalty from Kevin Nisbet, and that could well see them too far behind in the race for third.
Robson’s Aberdeen team might not have Willie Miller, Alex McLeish and Jim Leighton but they do have the likes of Roos, Angus MacDonald, Mattie Pollock and Liam Scales who provide the basis for this clean sheet. Hearts also dropped points against St Mirren so no ground was lost and Aberdeen remain five points in front, going into next weekend’s clash at Tynecastle.
