Barry Robson has joked Scott Brown is only backing him for the Aberdeen job because he is his pal. The former Dons captain threw his weight behind the interim manager earlier this week, insisting he should be given the job until the end of the season at least.
Robson is still in the dark as to what is happening in the club’s search for a new boss and how long he will remain in charge, ahead of the weekend clash with Hearts.
The 44-year-old and Fleetwood manager Brown know each other well from their time together at Celtic and Scotland. They were also together as part of Aberdeen’s last interim management team before Jim Goodwin was appointed last season.
Modestly Robson said: “He’s a good friend of mine so that’s maybe why he’s saying it. He’s good mate and when we took over in the interim last time he was really good.
