Aberdeen head into Wednesday’s Scottish Premiership contest newly under the temporary stewardship of Barry Robson, following Jim Goodwin’s exit on Saturday after a dismal run of form saw them pick up just one victory from a span of 10 games in all competitions.
After that singular triumph over a struggling St Johnstone side broke a five-match winless run and left them on 29 points from 21 league outings, the Dons would drop out of the Scottish League Cup semi-final following a 2-1 defeat to Rangers after extra time, before they travelled to take on Hearts and suffered a 5-0 thrashing as Josh Ginnelly hit a brace alongside goals from Michael Smith, Lawrence Shankland and Cameron Devlin.
Aiming to bounce back from that disappointing display, they then met sixth-tier Darvel in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, and the Pittodrie outfit suffered a damning 1-0 defeat with Jordan Kirkpatrick’s goal proving the difference between the teams, leaving Goodwin’s position under immense pressure ahead of their contest with Hibernian on Saturday.
The Dons did not show any signs of improvement at Easter Road, as their hosts led 2-0 through two Josh Campbell goals inside 15 minutes, before he completed a hat-trick and Elie Youan, Kevin Nisbet and Will Fish also got on the scoresheet in a 6-0 thrashing, with the manager’s exit confirmed soon after full time.
With the search for a successor now underway, having dropped into the bottom half of the Scottish top flight, Aberdeen will be desperate to turn their form around starting with a win on Wednesday which would see them jump back above the visitors.

Aberdeen vs St. Mirren Team News
Given their recent form, Barry Robson may look to make several changes to the Aberdeen starting XI on Wednesday in a bid to inspire a change in form, and they will certainly be without centre-back Liam Scales, who is suspended after being shown a second yellow late on in the Hibernian defeat.
In his absence, Ross McCrorie may have to fill in in a makeshift role alongside Anthony Stewart in the middle of the back four, while Middlesbrough loanee Hayden Coulson is likely to come back in from the outset on the left-hand side, as is Connor Barron in midfield.
In what has been a tough campaign for the squad, attackers Bojan Miovski and Luis Lopes have been shining lights with 11 and nine league goals respectively, with the latter also boasting five assists, and they will again be relied on heavily at the top end of the pitch.
