St Mirren Manager Stephen Robinson Reflects on 2-1 Victory Over Hibernian

Speaking to BBC Scotland, St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson commented on his team’s performance, stating: “I thought first half we were absolutely terrific. We learnt our lesson from Hearts, we went and we sat off too much, but we were really aggressive with our press.” He further elaborated on the first half, adding: “Some of our football in the first half was excellent. We hit the crossbar to make it 3-0 and the game’s over. We didn’t finish it off and then we had to show real character and defend for our lives. And we were quietly confident the goal would be disallowed because we’d seen the replay [and] he was right in front of the goalkeeper, but you never know.” Robinson concluded by expressing gratitude for the outcome, saying: “So thankfully, we had a little bit of luck on our side for the first time in a long time, and I thought we thoroughly deserved our victory.” Robinson also praised his squad’s inherent qualities, remarking: “But look, with the players I’ve got here and the energy levels, sometimes when we don’t play quite so well as we can, there’s never a doubt about attitude and application and the energy and the fight, if I was a St Mirren fan to watch that, I’d be so proud.”
