Aberdeen and Hearts are locked in a desperate battle for Scottish Premiership relegation survival. Aberdeen's three wins in their last five games have injected a much-needed sense of hope for the team. Hearts' star striker's form continues to elude them, hindering the team's attacking play. Barry Robson, Aberdeen's manager, has been instrumental in turning the team around. Hearts' recent performances have shown signs of improvement, but the team still lacks a consistent goal-scorer.
