Paul Hartley tells Aberdeen they're in safe manager hands with Barry Robson as players told to buck up ideas

Paul Hartley believes Aberdeen are in safe hands with Barry Robson because he has already started to settle things down.

The former Scotland cap has taken over the Dons hotseat but is very much in consideration for the job in the longer term. Robson has already taken charge for the games against St Mirren and Motherwell and is expected to take the team into this weekend’s clash at Celtic. The Aberdeen board have already made it clear that they will take their time to appoint a new gaffer after Jim Goodwin was fired last month.

Former Aberdeen captain Hartley said: “Barry is there just now to settle things down and he knows the club really well. It looks like they will maybe take their time to get the right guy. There have been names linked already. It’s a big job. Aberdeen is an attractive job. It’s a big club with a great fanbase. When things go well at Aberdeen it’s brilliant but it’s like any club when things aren’t going so well – the fans have the right to be disappointed.
