Manager Stephen Robinson appears to have steered Aberdeen into improved form following a challenging start to the Scottish Premiership season. The Dons rebounded from heavy criticism and boos following a 0-0 home draw against Kilmarnock by securing a four-goal victory at Motherwell, earning a point away at Hibernian's Easter Road, and advancing on penalties with 10 men against Kilmarnock in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-finals.
