Stephen Robinson believes summer recruits have re-energised St Mirren after dominant Hibs win

St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson was delighted to see his side win three games in a row, picking up three clean sheets in the process.

Their single goal victory against Hibs came courtesy of an early strike from Keanu Baccus.

And while Robinson conceded it wasn’t their best performance of the trio of victories, he felt that didn’t matter a bit as they beat the toothless Leith side in Paisley.

Robinson said: “It’s not a surprise to me when you’ve got the type of boys we’ve got – organised, disciplined and hard to break down.

“They created two chances. Trevor Carson’s brilliant save in the second half and one in the first half goes just wide.

“But the game should’ve been out of sight with four or five hitting the woodwork.

“It was a real disciplined performance without us being at our very best.

“We were a little bit passive in our press, but maybe I’m being highly critical because we ended up nearly scoring four goals from how we pressed.

“As a collective we were organised and we know what we’re trying to do.

“We’ve brought some good players in that I felt were missing last year in terms of energy and pace.

“We’ve only changed 30 per cent of the squad.

“Hopefully we’ve found a way that suits the players that are here and those we brought in.”
