St Mirren fans have been applauded by their gaffer for sticking with the club through hard times and turning out en masse when players have needed a lift.

This season saw a mix of emotions sweep through the stands.

A return to European football saw the Buddies start the season on a high, but their fortunes soon turned and it looked like the club was on the brink of a relegation battle.

However, a late surge in form ultimately saw St Mirren make the top six for the third year in a row.

Robbo praised the crowds for turning out in force this season, especially considering that two of the country's biggest clubs, Rangers and Celtic, are their neighbours.

“I don’t know what the average crowds were when we first came in but they’re really good now. I think 6,200 is our average crowd,” the Paisley chief said.
