Aberdeen FC manager, Barry Robson, has been named the Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month for March 2023.

Under Robson’s guidance, The Dons recorded important wins at Dundee United FC and at home to Heart of Midlothian FC during the month, to move within four points of the third-placed Tynecastle side in the division.

Since being appointed interim manager at the end of January 2023, Barry Robson’s Aberdeen side have picked up 12 points out of a possible 18, having won four out of their six league matches.

It is the former Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee United, Celtic and Vancouver Whitecaps player’s first Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month award. He joined Aberdeen as a player in the summer of 2013, before taking up a role on the coaching team at Pittodrie after retiring from playing.

Colin Matthews, CEO of Glen’s owner the Loch Lomond Group, said:

 “Barry Robson has always been a popular figure at Pittodrie, and he has stepped up on more than one occasion to help the club under difficult managerial circumstances.

 “This most recent spell in the role as interim manager has seen him transform the club’s performances and results – so much so that they are now closing in on Heart of Midlothian in the race for third place.

 “With both Celtic and Rangers again producing strong performances during the month, it was another tough decision for the panel, but the dramatic turnaround in performances at Aberdeen swung it in his direction to be named Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month for March. My congratulations go to Barry, his coaching staff and everyone involved at Pittodrie.”

 Barry Robson, Manager, Aberdeen F.C. said:

 “I am very pleased to receive this award on behalf of everyone at the club.

 “The award acknowledges the collective hard work of the players who have been fantastic in recent weeks, performing at a high level and producing some good results.

 “There is a huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to try to deliver success for this club and this award is also testament to the wider backroom staff who work tirelessly to get these performances and positive results.

“The supporters have also played their part. The backing they have given the players and myself has been brilliant.  

“We all share in this award but there is a lot of hard work ahead as we look forward to challenges which lie ahead for the remainder of the season.”
