Hibs 0-1 Aberdeen: What the manager said

Aberdeen manager Barry Robson told BBC Sportsound: "It was difficult game. It was an even first half. It took us time to get going in second half. They started well, then there was the sending off. Bojan [Miovski] could have scored a hat-trick.

"The biggest thing for me was how we did it tactically. We've had four games in nine days. We had a day less rest than them, we couldn't go after them the way we wanted to. We had to be bright tactically and I thought they were spot on.

"We had a man sent off and were thinking 'this will be tough'. But when you have someone like Bojan, who has the speed to open them up... thankfully he did and he could have had another couple.

"It's character. For me, the hardest part is coming off the back of big European nights and we've struggled in the league games. In those big games, we've performed really well. We're playing huge clubs and we've been caught a few times. Tonight, we got our rewards because we've been brilliant in these big games.

"I'm so pleased for my players. The will, the spirit they showed, that's proper Aberdeen players that. Jack got a cuddle, it could've been different if we lost the game!"
