Another season, another managerial sacking at Aberdeen.

Stephen Robinson's departure on Monday made it five dismissals since the spring of 2021.

The Northern Irishman followed Stephen Glass, Jim Goodwin, Barry Robson and Jimmy Thelin in making an abrupt exit on the watch of chairman Dave Cormack.

Most of the quintet have lasted less than a year and, although Thelin ended the Dons' 35-year wait to win the Scottish Cup, the general trend has been one of perceived underachievement in Scottish Premiership.
