Turning up at St Mirren’s Ralston training ground last week was strange.
The buzz wasn’t indicative of a 2-0 defeat to Kilmarnock – but Stephen Robinson’s side are a top-six team who are now going for Europe. Everyone said hello and music was playing loud from the gym. And as Robinson walked into the room for his exclusive Mailsport interview, the mood was matched by the St Mirren gaffer.
He explained: “Now it’s sunk in it wasn’t the way we wanted to do it but, as I said on Saturday, the players have earned the right to a poor performance. The top six wasn’t decided against Kilmarnock. It was decided over the other 32 games where I think we’ve been excellent.
