The SPFL have today named Barry Robson as the Glen’s Manager of the Month for April and have issued the following statement.

Aberdeen FC manager, Barry Robson, has been named the Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month for April 2023 – his second successive award since taking over the managerial reins (initially on an interim basis) at Pittodrie.

The Dons claimed four out of four wins in April, with victories over St. Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Rangers to establish a five-point gap over Heart of Midlothian in the ‘race’ for third spot in the Premiership table.

Since being appointed interim manager at the end of January 2023, Barry Robson’s Aberdeen side have picked up 24 points out of a possible 33, and the club did not concede a goal in the four league matches played in April.

Aberdeen have now recorded 17 wins, two draws and 15 defeats in the 34 Premiership matches they have played so far this season.

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

“April was another terrific month for Barry Robson and his Aberdeen side, and the fact he and his coaching staff have now been rewarded with new contracts is a testament to the superb work they have been doing to turn the club around following Jim Goodwin’s departure.

“They were the only side with a 100%-win record during April and our judging panel were in no doubt where this month’s Scottish Premiership Glen’s Manager of the Month award was going. Barry now joins Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou as the only Premiership manager to pick up two monthly awards this season.

“My congratulations go to Barry, his coaching staff and everyone involved at Pittodrie.”

Aberdeen FC manager, Barry Robson, said:

“This award is once again testament to the hard work and commitment from the players. Since being asked to take the team in February the response from them every day has been immense.

“Likewise, the staff have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create a positive environment for the players to thrive in and the recent results have been a collective effort from everyone at Cormack Park.

“We have four tough matches remaining, but we’re determined to do our best to meet our ambition of delivering European football again for our supporters, who have undoubtedly played their part in recent months, getting right being their team.”

Congratulations again to Barry and his team on another award!
