Aberdeen all but safe - what next for Stephen Robinson?

After a dogged win over Kilmarnock moved Aberdeen eight points clear of the Scottish Premiership relegation play-off place with four games left, manager Stephen Robinson was calm.

"Until someone tells me mathematically we're away from the play-off then we'll be continuing to work and build on that performance," the head coach told BBC Scotland.

It is the right attitude of course. But an eight-point advantage over Kilmarnock and six on St Mirren, with all the threatened sides facing each other in the run-in, is a comfortable position.

The victory over Kilmarnock was a triumph of grit - and a goal after 51 seconds - rather than class and style.

But it was all that mattered and in its own way showed some progress since Robinson was appointed in March, as Aberdeen secured back-to-back league wins for the first time since October.
