Overview
- Aberdeen beat Hibernian 2-0 at Pittodrie on Saturday, with Kevin Nisbet scoring both goals in Stephen Robinson’s first win as head coach.
- Video review overturned an initial non-call to award a penalty and send Grant Hanley off, and a later check confirmed Nisbet’s second shot had crossed the line.
- A separate VAR look at Emmanuel Gyamfi’s clash resulted in a yellow card, which Hibs manager David Gray argued should have been a red.
- The victory moved Aberdeen five points clear of the relegation play-off place, and Robinson cautioned that the team is not safe yet.
- Attention now shifts to the post-split bottom-six run, starting with Kilmarnock at home then Livingston away, after only their second league win of 2026 and first home league win since December.
