Robinson in Taylor & Olusanya St Mirren contract admission as Urminsky signs new deal

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has admitted no progress has been made on new deals for Richard Taylor or Toyosi Olusanya.

Club chiefs have been desperate to tie down the pair to new contracts with their current terms expiring in the summer.

Offers had been tabled to the pair with further offers now made but no agreement reached with the players and their representatives.

Robinson - who signed both players in Paisley - has not given up on possible deals but admitted the club may not be able to offer anything above the "very good" terms currently available to the duo.

"There has been no progress on that at the moment," said Robinson. "We've made further offers to both players but it looks at this moment in time that we probably won't be able to come to an agreement which we respect.

"We know both boys will give absolutely everything.

"And we won't give up, we're still very early and we'll see where we are come the end of January if we can go any further than that but they are very good offers from the football club so I'm not sure we can."

Robinson has, however, convinced back-up goalkeeper Peter Urminsky to follow Greg Kiltie and Marcus Fraser in signing new deals.

He said: "Peter Urminsky has agreed a new contract who we believe is a really good up and coming young goalkeeper so lots of good stuff as well as the boys who haven't signed."
