Stephen Robinson is hoping that St Mirren's recent Premier Sports Cup victory over Celtic will act as a catalyst for improved league form, starting with their upcoming Scottish Cup match against Livingston. The manager has emphasized the importance of building on the momentum from their cup success and translating it into consistent performances in the league.

Following their historic cup win, St Mirren demonstrated their professionalism by securing a 1-0 victory against Livingston in the league. Substitute Mikael Mandron's late goal sealed the win at the SMiSA Stadium, a result that Robinson believes is vital for their ambition to climb away from the relegation zone. Despite the victory, Robinson expressed his disappointment with a disallowed goal by Jonah Ayunga, highlighting the need for improvement in certain areas, even after a win.

Robinson acknowledged the celebrations that followed the cup final but commended his players for quickly refocusing on league duties. He minimized intense training sessions to ensure the players were fresh and energized for the Livingston match. Robinson was particularly pleased with his team's mentality, which he identified as the most significant takeaway from the game. He felt that St Mirren were in complete control of the game and should have scored more goals, further demonstrating their dominance.

Looking ahead, Robinson is eager to carry this winning mentality into the Scottish Cup and use it as a springboard for a successful run in the competition. He recognizes the importance of maintaining consistency and building on the positive atmosphere within the squad. St Mirren fans are still relishing their club's Premier Sports Cup triumph over Celtic. Some are already debating whether Stephen Robinson should be considered the greatest manager in the club's history. It has been suggested that Robinson has achieved more than Alec Ferguson, with three top-six finishes, a return to Europe, and now a cup win.

With the Scottish Cup tie against Livingston on the horizon, Robinson aims to harness the feel-good factor surrounding the club and channel it into another strong performance. He believes that a cup run can further boost the team's confidence and provide a platform for sustained success in the league.
