The Scottish Premiership season is winding down, and for Aberdeen, the finish line can't come soon enough. Despite dropping two points at relegated Livingston last Friday, it would take a remarkable set of results to drag the Dons back into the play-off mire. With 37 points already secured, even a winless end to the campaign should be enough to keep them safe.

This weekend, all eyes are on Kilmarnock's visit to St Mirren. After finally leapfrogging the Paisley side to escape the relegation trap door, something has to give in that crucial clash. For Aberdeen, the focus is already shifting to summer rebuild mode under head coach Stephen Robinson.

Speaking before the Livingston match, Robinson revealed he's now starting players he believes can handle a battle—a telling sign after nearly two months at the helm. He's clearly assessing who stays and who goes, and one bright spot has been left-back Mitchel Frame, who netted his first senior goal in West Lothian. That match might fade quickly from memory for most, but for Frame, it's a moment he'll cherish forever.

Off the pitch, Aberdeen's reported interest in outgoing Hibernian forward Martin Boyle is raising eyebrows. The Dons have flirted with bringing the hometown hero back before, and while Boyle is now in the latter stages of his career, he still offers a clinical edge. Consider the chance Toyosi Olusanya fired past the corner flag in the first half against Livingston—Boyle more than likely buries that opportunity.

Boyle has options further afield, but a move to the north-east of Scotland could suit the Australia international personally, especially as he eyes a role at this summer's World Cup. For a player of his caliber, a return to familiar surroundings might be the perfect fit for both club and player.
