Last updated 29th Jan 2024
Barry Robson has won the Glen's SPFL Premiership Manager of the Month award for the second successive time.
His Dons side won all four games in April as they leaped to third place and opened up a five point gap on Hearts.
The month started with a 1-0 win away to St. Johnstone, before it was backed up by wins at home to Kilmarnock and away to Ross County.
A famous win at home to Rangers followed that, with the reds not conceding a single goal throughout the month.
A team effort
"This award is once again testament to the hard work and commitment from the players. Since being asked to take the team in February the response from them every day has been immense", said Robson.
"Likewise, the staff have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create a positive environment for the players to thrive in and the recent results have been a collective effort from everyone at Cormack Park.
"We have four tough matches remaining, but we’re determined to do our best to meet our ambition of delivering European football again for our supporters, who have undoubtedly played their part in recent months, getting right being their team."
Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said: "April was another terrific month for Barry Robson and his Aberdeen side, and the fact he and his coaching staff have now been rewarded with new contracts is a testament to the superb work they have been doing to turn the club around following Jim Goodwin’s departure.
"They were the only side with a 100%-win record during April and our judging panel were in no doubt where this month’s Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month award was going. Barry now joins Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou as the only Premiership manager to pick up two monthly awards this season.
"My congratulations go to Barry, his coaching staff and everyone involved at Pittodrie."
