SUPPORT WILL BE OUR REAL HAMPDEN HEROES

Robinson aiming to reward St Mirren faithful with trip to National Stadium

Stephen Robinson admits he's desperate to reward the St Mirren support with a day out at Hampden.

The Buddies boss has been making history in Paisley ever since he walked through the door having clinched a hat-trick of Premiership top-six finishes and embarked on an European adventure.

But the one area that has alluded him thus far is pitching up at the national stadium - and he's looking to give Saints their first final appearance since winning the League Cup in 2013.

Robbo knows that he stands on the brink of another cup final - should they get past Stuart Kettlewell's Kilmarnock this evening at Rugby Park.

And the Saints boss insists looking at the black-and-white masses in the stands offers ample motivation.

"After being at Motherwell and seeing how much it brought people together, how much the club means to fans," said Robinson.
