Stephen Robinson called it a “good week” after claiming a spot at Hampden as well as a huge win at Fir Park and a point in Leith.
There’s been a lot of pressure on the Aberdeen boss this season so far after a poor start to their campaign but that past week has shown something positive signs.
The Dons claimed a place at Hampden after overcoming Kilmarnock at Rugby Park following a penalty shootout victory which was followed by a sensational 4-0 win away to Motherwell before drawing 1-1 at Easter Road yesterday afternoon.
Aberdeen of course recorded their first 2026 away win on Tuesday evening with that 4-0 win at Fir Park against a usually reliable Motherwell side.
Nisbet did what he did best and got goal number 12 of the season but Martin Boyle converted from the penalty spot as Hibs claimed a point.
Robinson said: “It’s been a great week.
“The fixture list was very, very unkind to us with the travelling and the turnaround.
“We have managed to finish this mini block of games two points off fourth and in a semi-final.
“Credit to the players and staff as they have worked tirelessly to implement what we are trying to do.
“Probably a point was deserved by both teams.”
Aberdeen defender who’s been out of the team selection of late got awarded with a start in Edinburgh, but the 22-year-old was at fault in awarding Hibs the penalty.
Stephen Robinson admitted it was a “bad decision” by the Aberdeen man as he barged Jason Kerr which gave John Potter’s men the penalty.
The Australian International made no mistake and got his side back on level terms as the Aberdeen keeper was unable to do exactly what he did last week in Kilmarnock.
Robinson said: “It was a penalty.
“I feel if you defend that deep you are going to make a mistake and be punished at some stage in the game.
“In the first half our line of engagement was higher and I thought we played really well on the counter at times, some really good stuff.
“But ultimately you are open to a mistake and we made one with a bad decision and were punished for that.”
