Barry Robson makes Aberdeen FC vow as boo boys told 'patience' with Rangers rebuild comparison made

Barry Robson has overseen a major rebuild and told the frustrated Aberdeen support that his new-look side will come good.

The Dons, after the home defeat to Hibs, sit joint-bottom of the table with just two points from their first four games. Robson knows there is a frustration around Pittodrie but with 13 signings and European Conference League football he has insisted it will take time to get his new-look outfit up and running.

“I’ve heard everyone speak about Rangers starting a new rebuild. I’ve not heard anybody say we had eight loan players and I’ve had to start a whole new squad. We need time to get going as a team and we need to do it on the job.”

Robson, who refused to rule out further signings, admitted his team looked tired after everything they had put in against BK Hacken on Thursday night. He added: “The distance we covered in the game on Thursday then playing in that heat today caught up with us but Hibs were the same and they managed it a bit better than we did.
