Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland why he has brought in Nick Suman, Kjartan Kjartansson, and Topi Keskinen.

“I have to look at them,” he said. “Topi has probably been a victim of the system since we came in.

“We looked like we were going to fall and keep falling, so I had to find a system that worked to get us over the line.

“Now Topi has a chance to show me what he can do and if he should be part of things next year, as does Nick [Suman].

“Both have done very well in training so hopefully they step up to the plate.

“If you put KJ [Kjartansson] into Hearts’ team, who have a real spine and solidity, perhaps he shines earlier.

“When you put him into our team where there isn’t a spine and a lot of projects it does take longer.

“We like him, he’s got really good attributes and we want to see how he copes with first-team football.

“I’m humbled we are getting that amount of people to watch after a season like this. Three thousand people travelling down – it’s incredible. We owe the fans a performance.”
