Stephen Robinson wasn't the only one breathing a sigh of relief on Saturday as he notched his first win as Aberdeen manager amid a barrage of criticism and pressure.
The Dons were excellent throughout their win over 10-man Hibernian and should have won by more than the final 2-0 scoreline.
Kevin Nisbet finished last season strongly and his brace against his old club could be crucial to Aberdeen's hopes of staving off 11th place with Kilmarnock, who currently occupy that position, at Pittodrie in the first post-split match next Saturday.
The fact is, a second win on the bounce would leave a gap of eight points between the two plus a vastly superior goal difference meaning the Dons could start planning for next season's Premiership campaign should that come to pass.
But as Robinson pointed out after the game, there is still much to do.
Pre-match, Dons legend Joe Harper took the acclaim of the full house with the Aberdeen support unveiling a sensational tifo to celebrate their greatest goalscorer.
Harper etched his name into Pittodrie folklore in a goal-laden career, mainly in the 1970s and across two spells.
He is a Greenock native, but he is an Aberdeen man who also enjoyed a stint at Hibs. It was a pity he wasn't five years younger given he only caught the start of Sir Alex Ferguson's glory years. Harper's 199 goals deserved more silverware than they were ultimately rewarded with.
When Billy McNeill signed Steve Archibald during his short time in charge of the Dons, they went on to form a partnership and Archibald himself credits those times up front with Harper as a big reason why he went on to enjoy a wonderful career at Tottenham and Barcelona.
Harper is a regular at Pittodrie and has watched this season's side go from one slump to another, so it was fitting Nisbet led the team to a first win in 10 games on a day their all-time top scorer was acclaimed.

lt might only be our second league win of 2026, but the three points against Hibs were gratefully received.
Especially as it was Stephen Robinson's first Reds victory at the fourth attempt.
Were there signs of encouragement from the performance? Yes. Chances created? Yes. Clean sheet? Yes!
All round, then, reasons to be more cheerful for fans who have had to go to work in recent weeks and endure a ribbing over a potential relegation play-off.
Admittedly, the much-needed win was against 10 men and one victory won't make everything better.
However, we have taken a huge step in the right direction towards safety and we can all but secure that with three points against Kilmarnock next weekend.
With two weeks on the training ground to further implement ideas, and build on the confidence beating Hibs has brought, maybe we can end a forgettable season with more victories and more positivity.

Sportscene analysis: What 'set the tone' for Aberdeen's much-needed win?
Watch Sportscene pundit Steven Naismith analyse the decision to award Aberdeen a penalty and Hibs defender Grant Hanley a red card in the Dons' weekend victory.
Naismith believes the good work from Toyosi Olusanya to win the spot-kick and the goal from Kevin Nisbet that followed "set the tone" for Stephen Robinson's side.

Kelle Roos (Kilmarnock): Not the finest all-round performance but came up clutch deep into stoppage time to deny Dundee from the spot and save a potentially priceless point for Killie.
Alexander Jensen (Aberdeen): Pushed back a little bit but impressed at wing-back against Hibernian. Tanked up and down the touchline and coped well when Hibs were trying to put him under pressure.
Krisztian Keresztes (Dundee United): Admittedly, not the finest weekend for defenders, but the substitute hauled United level with an important header to allow them to push on for a late win against Livingston.
Will Ferry (Dundee United): And here's the man who set him up. Ferry also opened the scoring with a superb solo goal at Tannadice.
Hyun-jun Yang (Celtic): Few in green and white impressed in a narrow win over St Mirren at Celtic Park, but the South Korean showed up again.
Nicolas Raskin (Rangers): For his second-half showing at Falkirk. The Belgium international was like a man possessed after the break with an abundance of fight, quality and creativity on show. Displayed his very best as Rangers ripped Falkirk apart in a bonkers second 45.
Beni Baningime (Hearts): Back alongside Cammy Devlin in the engine room and back pulling the strings for Hearts. A classy performance - again - in the crucial win over Motherwell.
Emmanuel Gyamfi (Aberdeen): Outside his needless incident with Hibs striker Owen Elding, for which he was shown a yellow card after a VAR review, the wide man was Aberdeen's biggest threat in one of his better performances for the Dons. Hooked balls in at every chance he could, something Stephen Robinson will be desperate to see more of.
Sabah Kerjota (Hearts): Came on in the 66th minute and immediately became Hearts' set-piece taker, whipping in inviting deliveries - including one that led to the second goal. His cameo performances have impressed to the point there is clamour for him to start the upcoming Edinburgh derby over Alexandros Kyziridis.
Kevin Nisbet (Aberdeen): The man grateful for those deliveries from Gyamfi. Kept his cool from the spot against his former side before smashing the much-needed second over the line... just. Big, big goals and an equally impressive all-round performance.
Lewis Smith (Livingston): Doing all he can to keep Livingston in the league, chipping in with another two goals. Even if the Lions are relegated, which is increasingly likely, Smith should remain in the top flight. One wouldn't think he'd be short of suitors.
Watch all the highlights of Aberdeen's 2-0 win against Hibernian.
Image source, SNSStephen Robinson does not want Aberdeen to relax during their two-week break after they recorded a much-needed 2-0 win over Hibernian to boost their William Hill Premiership survival hopes.
Kevin Nisbet netted from the penalty spot after Grant Hanley was sent off for hauling down Toyosi Olusanya and the Scotland striker added a second with 15 minutes to go to end a nine-match winless league run.
The Dons are five points above Kilmarnock, who sit in the relegation play-off spot with five games to play, and the two teams clash at Pittodrie in the next round of Premiership fixtures which does not take place until April 25.
"I said to the players to remember the feeling of winning the game," Aberdeen head coach Robinson said after the win against Hibs.
"We played some really good stuff, some good one-touch movement between the midfield and forward players. We have to build on that.
"I still think we're under pressure. I won't relax and I won't allow the players to.
"The players are as disappointed as anyone with how the season has gone. It's important we take our time off over the break and come back firing and build on that performance.
"We want to finish the season strongly."
We asked for your views on Aberdeen's 2-0 win against Hibernian. Here's what some of you said:
Andy: It's a win but I wouldn't get too carried away. It's unlikely we will play 10 men every week. That said, it will hopefully improve their confidence for the final run-in. A win against Kilmarnock is a must.
Niall: A vital win and a precious three points. Clearly the Hibs red card helped but there were signs of more positive play in the final third. It's just a shame that there seem to be no other clinical finishers other than Kevin Nisbet. Build on this and secure home wins in all our post-split fixtures, and we should hopefully be safe ahead of a massive rebuild for next season.
Alison: Makes a change coming out of Pittodrie saying that you enjoyed a game - that hasn't happened for a long time. Thought we played well, if only we had played like that more often this season. We aren't safe yet, but that was a step in the right direction.
Ross: Finally, some real grit and determination, proper bottle and fighting spirit. Silky football can take a backseat if the required points accrue and safety is guaranteed. Not out of the woods yet though.
Andrew: That was the hungriest I've seen us in months. A real shot in the arm going into the split. Dare I say if we can beat Killie next time out, they'll find it hard to claw back eight points, nine with the goal difference, over four games.
Alasdair: How would we have fared against 11 men, the red card really made a difference. Nice to get three points on the board, but I'm not sure if this is the turning of the corner or just lucky. At the moment though I think we'll need every bit of luck to stay up, given the recent form.
Aberdeen eased their Scottish Premiership relegation concerns with their first league win since January, as Kevin Nisbet's double helped them see off 10-man Hibernian.

Image source, SNSAberdeen manager Stephen Robinson: "It's [the win] much needed.
"I thought we were very good at times but you could see a little bit of nervousness within the game. When you've only had one clean sheet at Pittodrie since November, there's obviously going to be a nervousness but I thought there were some excellent performances.
"We said all week if we deliver balls into the box Kevin Nisbet will score. He's been really behind what we're trying to do and I'm delighted with his two goals.
"I thought we were the better side with 11v11 as well. We created numerous opportunities, got into really good areas and delivered a lot more crosses than we have been. The key today was the clean sheet and the players managed to do that. It sets you up to not lose football matches and that has to be how we approach games from now on.
"When we saw it back [Emmanuel Gyamfi's red card check] I'm not sure why he [the referee] had to come over. The other VAR decisions were right.
"Hibs are a very good side, still challenging for Europe and to beat them today, with 10 men or 11, was really important.
"The criticism we get we deserve but the fans were excellent today. They got behind the players and when they do that you can see the confidence starting to run back through the team. You could see the confidence starting to come back, and a little bit more creativity, taking more chances. It's a good result for us after the performance in the first half last week.
"It's certainly a step in the right direction. It doesn't make us safe, we can't relax at all. We have to enjoy the moment, enjoy winning football matches, the fans haven't seen enough of that, but we know we still have a lot of work to do."

Image source, SNSAberdeen keeper Dimitar Mitov says they owe it to the fans to have a strong end to the season but admits nothing can make amends for a sub-standard campaign.
A run of just one win in their last 16 league games has seen last season's Scottish Cup winners become embroiled in a Premiership survival battle.
The ninth-placed Dons go into Saturday's visit of Hibs just three points above second-bottom Kilmarnock, who occupy the relegation play-off spot.
When asked what has gone wrong this term, Mitov said, "It is the million-dollar question.
"I think it is a lot of things. Obviously, we as players have to take the blame because it is our responsibility when we pull the shirt on, and we have not done well enough this season.
"Listen, whatever we do for the rest of the season is not going to make amends for how the season has gone because the football club should never be in the position it is right now, especially with the success we had last season, and European football.
"But that should be the standard every season, fighting for titles, fighting for cups, being in Europe, and we have not met those standards this season.
"Hopefully, we give something to the fans to be proud of, maybe it is not enough for them, we know that.'
"It is all good me sitting here saying these kinds of things but people don't want to see players in the media say 'this needs to be better, that needs to be better ' we just need to keep our mouths shut and perform on the pitch."
Mitov's own form has been mixed this season.
The Bulgarian international has flitted in and out of the side since the January arrival of Norwegian goalie Per Kristian Bratveit.
"I think as a goalkeeper you pay the ultimate price when the team is not doing well and you are conceding the goals," he added.
"It is the position of ultimate perfection, and if you are not close to perfection, you will cost your team.''
"I tell you one thing, there is not a worse feeling in the world than costing your team, and nobody has to tell me when a goal is going in that 'oh the keeper should have done better' I know better than anyone."
"You know when you say goalkeepers are crazy, they are crazy because you need to love that pressure, you need to embrace it you need to come out there and say 'I am the man' so you have to have that mentality going into every game and just believe in yourself that you can help the team going forward."
Image source, SNSAberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson has revealed that he has had to work to build social bonds between his players as he looks to rescue their season.
The Northern Irishman was appointed at Pittodrie last month with the immediate task of steering the team away from relegation fears but a draw and two defeats since then has seen the team move closer to the play-off spot.
As he prepares the team to face Hibs at home on Saturday, he said that part of the work he's been doing to improve things has been focused on trying to build a togetherness that he thinks is lacking in the squad.
"There's been small little tweaks since I have come in to try and get people to speak more," Robinson said at his pre-match media conference. "We have got 16 different nationalities at this football club, which is incredible, and everyone has got different cultures and different ideas.
"It's been about trying to get people together a little bit more, to put the social area into one place, instead of being in three different places. There wasn't a social area actually, [a place where they can] sit and have a coffee, speak to each other and get to know each other. So we are hoping that will help.
'When you are in the trenches you need to know a little bit about each other and try and fight your way out of it.'
Robinson made it clear there were no cliques or factions within the Dons squad but he wants stronger bonds between players and more cohesion to help build a run of positive results starting this weekend and through the post-split fixtures.
'There are certainly not factions," he said. "When you come from different cultures of course you gravitate towards people you have a little bit more in common with, so it's to get everyone together.
"When things aren't going well if you actually know a little bit about each other, you speak to each other outside of football then you have got a real desire to help each other and we are just trying to create that, trying to create that atmosphere.'
"It is the same at every club, every club I have been to, you try and do that, usually in a pre-season you have a lot of time to do that, here we are trying to fast-track that very quickly."

Image source, SNSAberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Scottish Premiership visit of Hibernian.
Here are the main points:
With the Dons just three points above the relegation play-off spot, Robinson admits Saturday's match is "a huge game".
But stresses now is not the time to scrutinise, that will come at the end of the season and insists now is the time for "togetherness".
On the criticism coming his team's way, Robinson says "the players have been ridiculed from pillar to post".
And amid the pressure, he says "nobody has gone hiding, nobody is looking for excuses" and stresses everyone is up for the fight.
Robinson was asked if the immediate challenge he faces of trying to guide the Dons to safety, is "one of the biggest" of his managerial career and has vowed to use every bit of experience he has gained as a manager.
He points out there are other teams in the relegation fight, not just Aberdeen and believes "the positive we have over all the rest of the teams that are down there is our fan base" and stresses "we are all in this together".
Having been in the job for a few weeks now, Robinson believes he is better equipped to know what is needed to get the team out of this situation than he was when he arrived.
He says one of the things he has been trying to do is to get everyone together, noting that there are 16 different nationalities in the squad
Team news: They will make a late call on Dennis Geiger who has a slight hamstring injury. Mats Knoester will resume full training next week and may be available for the second game after the split.
For Aberdeen, the stats are damning.
Eight wins from 32 league games, 18 defeats - the same number as bottom side Livingston - and just one victory in their past 16 Scottish Premiership fixtures.
Those numbers are why the Dons are hovering above the relegation play-off place, level on points with St Mirren and just three above Kilmarnock in 11th.
But abject performances and a non-existent new manager bounce following the arrival of Stephen Robinson are perhaps the biggest concerns for the Pittodrie club.
With Europe-chasing Hibernian travelling north on Saturday, do Aberdeen have the fight in them to drag themselves out of a perilous situation?
Stephen McGowan of The Herald isn't convinced, saying on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast: "I don't think there's any evidence they do at the moment.
"Stephen Robinson teams are always noted for having fight, but these are not Stephen Robinson players.
"It's difficult to see how he can take his preferences for shape and character and inject them into this team in such a short space of time."
Image source, SNSAll four of Ante Suto's Scottish Premiership goals for Hibernian have come as a substitute, the joint-most goals from the bench of any player in the competition this season (Marko Lazetic also four).
Hibernian have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three league games, last doing so four times in a row in the Scottish Premiership in March 2022 under Shaun Maloney - a run that was ended by a 3-1 defeat at Aberdeen.
No side has lost more games in the Scottish Premiership this season than Aberdeen (18, level with Livingston), while it's their most league defeats in a single campaign since 2010-11 (22).
Hibernian have won three of their last five league visits to Aberdeen (D1 L1), and are looking to win there successively for the first time since September 2004.
Aberdeen have lost both of their two previous league meetings with Hibernian this season, but haven't lost three in a row against Hibs since December 2004, and last did so within a single league campaign in 2002-03.

"Aberdeen Football Club's overarching mission is to achieve Uefa top-100 club status, establishing themselves as a consistently successful European side through a modern stadium, world-class training facilities, and a highly successful squad."
Since that statement almost a decade ago, much of what Aberdeen have done off the pitch has been positive. Crowds are consistently high, work in the north-east community has been diligent, the training centre was opened with plans to expand, and the club is debt-free.
But on the pitch, outwith their Scottish Cup win last May, the more things change, the more they stay the same. For now.
Major disequilibrium may lie just around the corner as the Dons struggle to cling on to top-12 status in Scotland, never mind top 100 in Europe.
Aberdeen are on the brink and nobody seems to have an answer.
In 1995, when the Dons came perilously close to being relegated, the fans and the city came together to support the team and that was a huge advantage for the likes of Duncan Shearer, Eoin Jess and Theo Snelders, who were mainstays of that side.
How the Dons supporters wish they had players of that calibre these days.
The fact is Stephen Robinson, who was appointed last month as the spectre of demotion suddenly became a real-life prospect to the club's board, is the third man this season who is struggling to get any sort of tune out of this squad of players.
They are easy to score against, they never seem to have control of football matches and they rarely score goals. It is a lethal combination, borne out by collecting just six points from the last 48 available.
The state they are in is not on Robinson, who is in the infancy of his tenure, it is those higher up the food chain who will have to answer should the worst happen.
The stakes were high in Paisley on Saturday, yet despite that the Dons failed to register a single shot on target - they are averaging just three per game across the season - and were behind in every department, with the most stark of those being the determination and fight that St Mirren appeared to have from the off.
It was an 18th league defeat of the season for Aberdeen, the same number as bottom side Livingston, and their latest blank on the road means they have failed to score in an incredible 11 of their 17 away league games this campaign.
Hibernian visit Pittodrie in the final pre-split fixture on Saturday but home advantage hasn't been a huge help to a Dons side who have the second-worst Premiership record in their own stadium this season.
In what could be an historic season at the top of the league, unwanted history could also be made by Aberdeen at the other end if they don't get their act together.

Image source, SNSRegardless of this weekend's result when Aberdeen host Hibs, they face five monumental post-split games.
Killie up first, at Pittodrie, is a must-win right out of the gate.
Should the Dons beat Hibs and Killie lose to Dundee this weekend, Stephen Robinson's side could open up a nine-point gap on Neil McCann's side with just four games to go.
With bottom side Livi away from home following Killie's visit, the Dons should look to attack the next three games and all but secure their top-flight status.
However, this is an Aberdeen side low on confidence and showing no signs of life.
If top-six Hibs beat them and Killie turn them over, it will be break glass in case of emergency time, and with Robinson just in the door, there's little room for consequential change.
Fans and pundits alike have been tipping Aberdeen to continue their downward trajectory.
Speaking after their defeat by St Mirren at the weekend, Robinson was confident, yet fully aware of the mire the Dons are in.
"Of course it's a hard job, there's no hiding away from that," he said.
"I'm up for that challenge.
"I found out a lot in the second half about the character, about people who will really run and try to give us a platform to play from.
"What I see in training isn't what I saw in the first half or a practice match last week. We changed that second half and got a response, that's a positive I have to take."
Should Aberdeen wind up in the play-off spot, character, and a lack thereof, may well be the reason why.

I write this week's piece from a sun lounger in sunny Portugal.
Unfortunately, it seems too many of this playing squad already have one mind on their summer holidays rather than rescuing the mess they have plunged Aberdeen Football Club into.
While the players take a large responsibility, let's not beat about the bush here.
Every member of that Pittodrie board needs to take a long, hard look at themselves for allowing us to get into this state.
Our January transfer dealings look even more galling now. The radio silence from senior figures is deafening. When's the next club interview, Dave Cormack?
Reflecting on Saturday, Stephen Robinson again threw players under the bus.
One of those was Topi Keskinen, and given that he travelled to New Zealand during the international break, I felt the criticism aimed at him in particular was harsh when he could have started Toyosi Olusanya instead.
Yes, the players need to look at themselves, but so does Robinson. That team selection was baffling, and he still doesn't know his best team.
We are staring down the barrel right now.
This Saturday, we celebrate Dons legend Joey Harper as we welcome Hibs, and hopefully he is bringing his boots along.
Results need to come now, but we need to get a shot on target to achieve that.
It's a big week ahead.
