Barry Robson is set to get the chance to try and seal Aberdeen's European return.
The Dons board have gone through a thorough interview process and the interim boss is poised to get the nod for the rest of the season. Talks are ongoing with Robson to try to strike a deal following initial discussions with chief executive Alan Burrows last week.
Robson has stepped up and dragged Aberdeen from the bottom six back into a direct fight for third place. Aberdeen are currently fourth and that would guarantee European football next season although fifth would also come into play if Celtic or Rangers was to win the Scottish Cup. The interim boss has won four out of his six games in interim charge and the Dons are in a good run of form, ahead of the weekend trip to St Johnstone.
