HEAVY METTLE ROCK STARS

Robinson full of praise for players after draw with Rangers and hails impact of older Saints warhorses

- TAYLOR MURRAY

Stephen Robinson yesterday praised the “rocks” of his team after St Mirren added to Rangers’ woes.

The Buddies clinched a point at the SMiSA Stadium as the beleaguered Light Blues recorded a third successive Premiership 1-1 draw in a row.

Jonah Ayunga was on target to give Saints a deserved lead before substitute Findlay Curtis snatched a share of the spoils for the visitors.

Paisley chief Robinson pointed to his side’s impressive first-half display as being the levels his team can reach, despite the millions of pounds Gers have spent on their squad.

The Northern Irishman said: “I thought we done both [played football and were physical]. We won second balls really well and we played when it was on to play. We didn’t panic.
