Aberdeen will go into the Premiership split five points clear with five games remaining after a thrilling 2-0 win over Rangers at Pittodrie.

Goals from Liam Scales and Bojan Miovski made it seven wins in a row for the Dons and supporters were quick to hail the incredible progress made under boss Barry Robson.

Paul Arnott wrote on Facebook: “There’s no manager out there that can come and give a better job interview than Barry has given in the last few months.

“The only way he shouldn’t get the job is if he says no to it. Arise Sir Barry.”

Colin Clyne agreed: “Mon the Dons, give that man the job, he’s one of our own!”

It was a similar story on Twitter.

Praise for Aberdeen’s backline

The first win against Rangers at Pittodrie since 2016 came at a crucial for the Dons after Hearts’ 6-1 win against Ross County on Saturday.

It was also the fifth clean sheet in a row for Aberdeen under Robson and the contribution of the backline was recognised by the Red Army.

Linda Ann Black added on Facebook: “Brilliant amazing defence again, woohoo.”

Kyle Robertson agreed: “Get McDonald, Pollock signed up asap – unreal from them the day, get Clarkson signed up on loan again also. What a passion from the lot of them.”

Goalkeeper Kelle Roos also made two crucial saves, one in each half, to ensure another clean sheet for his side.
