As the Scottish Premiership season reaches its thrilling conclusion, Aberdeen boss Stephen Robinson has lifted the lid on his summer plans and squad assessment ahead of Sunday's crucial clash with Dundee.
With just one point separating ninth-placed Dundee from the Dons, every match carries immense weight. Robinson acknowledges the stakes: "Everyone wants to finish as high as possible," and expects the Dark Blues to field their strongest lineup for what will be their final home game of the campaign.
The head coach has confirmed he'll rotate his squad for the trip to Dens Park, admitting, "I will make some changes." While he's already made up his mind about "the vast majority" of his playing staff, a few players remain under evaluation before final decisions are made on their futures.
Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Robinson is eager to reshape his team and stamp his "identity" on the squad. "I know the market, I know what wins games in Scottish football," he said confidently, adding that there's complete alignment from the boardroom down "about what we need."
However, squad rebuilding comes with its challenges. Robinson noted that players with long contracts "hold all the power," and if they decide to stay, "they decide to stay."
On the injury front, winger Emmanuel Gyamfi will miss out once again after pulling up during the pre-match warm-up earlier this week.
As the season winds down, Aberdeen supporters can expect a focused, strategic approach from their manager—both on the pitch Sunday and in the transfer market this summer.
