Nicky Devlin has revealed how Barry Robson sold him on a switch to Aberdeen as the Livingston captain is set to be announced by the Dons on a two-year Pittodrie deal.

Devlin said: “Aberdeen are a massive club on the up and the style of play the new manager has adopted really suits me. Speaking to the manager, it felt like they were pushing the boat out more than any other.” The defender moved to Livingston from Walsall after a stint at Ayr United and admitted he has loved his time there.
He’s said: “Being at Livingston has been phenomenal for me and my family. I can't speak highly enough of the the people who work here.
