GOTHENBURG GREAT John McMaster insists Barry Robson is the new Archie Knox and will lead Aberdeen into third place in the Premiership.
McMaster a cultured left-back in Alex Ferguson's European Cup-Winners' Cup side in 1983 reckons Robson's inside knowledge of the Dons and his desire to bring coaching to the heart of what he does as a boss is comparable to Knox, Fergie's right-hand man during the Reds glory years.
And he's in no doubt their recent turn of form which has seen them surge up the league table, added to a Hearts' form slump in recent weeks, makes them odds-on to overtake the Jambos.
He looked back to 37 years ago when the Tynecastle men stood within a point of winning the league title for the first time in 26 years but were beaten by Dundee on the last game of the season for Celtic to take the championship.
McMaster said: "Hearts look like they've blown up it's like 1986 all over again! "So European places are there to play for. Aberdeen have come from a long way back and have the momentum now.
