With momentum built from their cup run, Aberdeen FC now focuses on maintaining their form. Robinson acknowledged the team’s tendency to swing between extremes of performance but remains confident in their progress. The Dons will look to carry this momentum into the upcoming season, aiming to improve on their 8th-place finish in the 2025 Premiership, where they trailed league leaders Heart of Midlothian by 37 points.
