Aberdeen secured a 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock at Pittodrie to strengthen their position in the Scottish Premiership. Leighton Clarkson scored the only goal of the match in the second half. The result moves the club onto 38 points, nine ahead of Ross County in the relegation play-off position with four games remaining, per Sky Sports.
Manager Stephen Robinson oversaw the win following his recent appointment as successor to Peter Leven. The team has now recorded three consecutive victories in the league. Kilmarnock remained in fourth place despite the defeat, according to the Scottish Professional Football League.
Robinson praised the resilience of his squad after they restricted the visitors to few clear opportunities. The manager stated that the primary objective remains mathematical safety before the club organises for next season. Aberdeen next travel to face St Johnstone on 2 May, while Kilmarnock host Rangers. The club has lost only one of its last six league fixtures during this improved run of form.
