Will Aberdeen be relegated for first time ever?

Aberdeen have won one of their past 15 Scottish Premiership games [SNS] "We're in a relegation fight. If that wasn't clear before, it certainly is after tonight. I've reiterated to the players that there's no hiding place now.

" Two games into his Aberdeen tenure, manager Stephen Robinson laid it all on the line. The former Northern Ireland international may merely have voiced what many were thinking, but by talking about relegation after a 4-1 defeat by Rangers he knew he was laying down a marker to his squad. Do they have what it takes to fight their way to safety?

Robinson says he is "confident" they do. We are about to find out. On Saturday, Robinson takes Aberdeen to Paisley to play the club, St Mirren, he left just three weeks ago, having delivered a League Cup trophy in December to go with three consecutive top-six finishes.

St Mirren and Kilmarnock are just three points behind Aberdeen in the race to avoid the relegation play-off spot in the Scottish Premiership, with Livingston 12 points adrift at the bottom and seemingly doomed with seven games to go. It feels like a game Aberdeen simply cannot lose, and Robinson recognised it is "huge". In the club's 123-year history they have never played outside of Scotland's top flight.
