Stephen Robinson talks up St Mirren underdogs as he insists top six finish would be 'biggest achievement' of his career

St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson believes that finishing in the top-half with his current Buddies side would be the best achievement of his career - despite managing a third-placed finish with Motherwell.

Robinson has been one of the Scottish Premiership managers of the season so far this campaign with the Buddies chasing European football despite being tipped by many for the drop before a ball was kicked. They currently sit in fifth place, just six points behind third-placed Hearts in the battle for European football.

If they continue their incredible run of form, the Saints could be optimistically looking towards their first glance at European football since the 1987/88 - a great achievement for a club that has not even finished in the top half of the top-flight since 1985. And Robinson has gone as far to say that it tops his other achievements so far in his managerial career - including a third-placed finish with Motherwell, European qualification and competing in both cup finals in the 2017-18 season.
