"Aberdeen have announced they have "been officially given permission to enter formal talks" with the 51-year-old Northern Irishman about their managerial vacancy. Peter Leven has been in caretaker charge since Aberdeen sacked Jimmy Thelin in early January."
"Robinson, meanwhile, led St Mirren to their second cup semi-final of the season on Sunday as the Paisley side defeated Partick Thistle having already gone on to lift the League Cup in November. He led the Buddies to top-six finishes in his previous three seasons."
Aberdeen have officially received permission from St Mirren to conduct formal negotiations with manager Stephen Robinson regarding their vacant managerial position. Robinson, 51, has impressed at St Mirren, leading them to a League Cup victory in November and a Scottish Cup semi-final appearance. Aberdeen made the approach following poor recent form under caretaker Peter Leven, including a 3-0 Scottish Cup quarter-final defeat to Dunfermline Athletic and just one win in eight matches. Robinson has delivered consistent top-six finishes at St Mirren over three seasons, though the club currently sits 10th in the league, one place below Aberdeen.
