St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson makes Celtic admission ahead of Rangers clash
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has namedropped Celtic ahead of his side’s SPFL clash against Rangers on Sunday, 3 November, at Ibrox.
Robinson believes that the fact that they could reach within touch distance of the Hoops at Celtic Park means they can give Philippe Clement’s side a run for their money.
Rangers are on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Aris Limassol and will be looking to return to winning ways.
Via PLZ Soccer, Robinson said: “We showed at Celtic Park, we were minutes away from getting a result.
“There’s absolutely no reason why we cannot go and match Rangers.”
Win this
After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Aris , Rangers cannot afford to underestimate any opponent, as demonstrated by Robinson’s reference to their close call at Celtic Park.
The slip-up against Aris showcased the dangers of complacency, and Clement’s side must be vigilant against every SPFL opponent.
Losing crucial points can jeopardise their title race, especially with Celtic in contention.
Robinson’s reminder of their near-success at Celtic Park serves as a warning to Gers that underestimating St Mirren could lead to similar setbacks.
It’s not just about securing three points but sending a message of dominance and resilience.
With Celtic potentially within reach, Gers must maintain pressure by winning convincingly and asserting their authority in the title race.
The St Mirren clash is an opportunity for them to prove lessons have been learned, and they cannot afford to underestimate any team on their quest for Scottish Premiership success.
