Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson vowed to "keep fighting until told otherwise" after his side suffered a 4-0 home defeat to bottom-placed Hibernian on November 8, 2026. The loss left Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership relegation play-off spot, above only Kilmarnock, and marked their fourth league defeat in five matches. Home fans chanted for Robinson's dismissal as the team capitulated in the second half, having spurned early chances.
Mounting Pressure and Poor Recruitment
Robinson, appointed in March, has won just six of 21 league games, losing 11. Aberdeen have lost four consecutive games in all competitions, scoring only three goals in their last six home league outings. The club are joint lowest scorers in the league with 12 goals. Former Aberdeen legend Willie Miller described the performance as "utterly embarrassing" and questioned the summer recruitment of 15 players, few of whom have made an impact. Chief executive Adrian Bevington, appointed in September, faces a major decision during the international break. Pundits including Chris Sutton, Michael Stewart, and Charlie Mulgrew suggested Robinson may not be the right fit for the club, with fans also calling for change.
