Stephen Robinson hails squad 'character' as St Mirren battle back to beat Livingston

Stephen Robinson summed up his Buddies battling performance to seal a dramatic late win over Livi in one word – character.

Despite going a man down late on after Jonah Ayunga saw red for a deliberate handball, and Bruce Anderson netting an equaliser with time ticking away, the Saints kept on fighting to the bitter end and got their just rewards through Alex Greive's stirring winner.

Robinson was over the moon with the response to Anderson's reply, with the 2-1 victory St Mirren' s fifth in just six Premiership clashes.

Robinson said: "Character is the one word I would use to sum it up.

“We matched Livingston and outbattled them, which is rare.

“At 1-0, when they miss the penalty I was confident we wouldn’t concede as we work a lot of training with a man less.

“It was disappointing to concede, but we showed character again to come back and win it.

“You can’t play well every week, but you can work your socks off and that’s what they give me every week.”
