Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson addresses the club’s preparations ahead of Saturday’s Scottish Premiership opener at home to Hearts. Robinson explains that Kevin Nisbet is named captain because he “knows the football club” and the standards expected there, which Robinson says is especially important as Aberdeen have several new players in the squad. He adds that Nisbet’s role is intended to help provide leadership during the transition.
Robinson also discusses Aberdeen’s latest signing, Chris Cadden, ahead of the match. He describes Cadden as bringing “vast amount of experience” in the league, and says that every player Aberdeen brings in is intended to strengthen the squad. Both reports present Robinson’s comments as part of the club’s media briefings as the season begins, with attention focused on on-field leadership and strengthening the group ahead of the first league fixture.
