Stephen Robinson admits the injury crisis ripping through his squad couldn’t have come at a worse time for his top-six hunting Buddies.
But the St Mirren boss is confident the experienced heads he has left available will help steer the club’s youngsters through two potentially decisive fixtures that could shape their entire campaign.
The Saints take on relegation-battling Ross County at the SMiSA Stadium this afternoon knowing a win would keep them above top-half rivals Aberdeen regardless of the Dons’ result against Celtic, which kicks off at the same time. Robinson’s troops then march north next weekend to take on St Johnstone in Perth.
