Nesta Guinness-Walker leads Aberdeen FC's comeback against Dundee Aberdeen FC manager Stephen Robinson has praised Nesta Guinness-Walker for his 'brave' performance in the cup win over Dundee, just days after a difficult league defeat at Dens Park. The left-back struggled in the Premiership loss but bounced back to help his team reach the quarter-finals. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 8th in Premiership, 33 pts, 9W-6D-18L from 33 games, recent form LLWDW. ## What happened in the match? Guinness-Walker faced criticism after Aberdeen's league loss to Dundee but responded with a strong display in the cup, shutting down Joe Bevan. Robinson highlighted the defender's mental strength, saying he 'believed in his ability' and proved he can handle the pressure of playing for Aberdeen.

Why it matters for Aberdeen FC The win sets up a quarter-final clash with Kilmarnock, giving Aberdeen a chance to build momentum ahead of the new season. Robinson also praised Tony Yogane, who was subbed at half-time in the league game but made an impact in the cup, setting up Kevin Nisbet's second goal.

What comes next for the squad? Aberdeen are still reshaping their squad, with 13 signings and several departures, including Peter Ambrose and Dylan Lobban. Robinson admits they still have 'too many players' and need to cut the wage budget before making further signings. The team will play a closed-door game this week before facing Rangers.
