Stephen Robinson humbled by Celtic praise from Ange but believes pat on the back should go to key Buddies trait

Stephen Robinson was humbled to be picked out by Ange Postecoglou for personal praise.

But the modest manager of the year nominee insists the Aussie’s pat on the back should go to the collective effort that has helped heave his St Mirren side into the top six. Celtic manager Postecoglou was crowned this year's top boss at last weekend’s PFA Scotland dinner but used his acceptance speech to pay tribute to the Saints gaffer.

"For somebody who has achieved what he's achieved and the team he's put together, it's always nice to hear him say nice things,” said Robinson. "From Ange, who has had a fantastic season, to be complimentary like that was humbling, to be honest. To even be in the same company as some of the people at the dinners is completely humbling too. But it speaks more for our work as a whole as a football club rather than me as an individual.”
