"Stephen Robinson wants teams to fear playing at Pittodrie and says Aberdeen must become a consistent top-six club again. The Dons finished a hugely disappointing ninth last term and are hoping to do a lot better this time round. "We have to make Pittodrie a place to be feared, a place that people don't enjoy coming to again, and it hasn't been often enough in the last five years," said head coach Robinson.
