As much as St Mirren neutered Motherwell, don’t be fooled and think they weren’t a threat in their own right.
Mikael Mandron, who bookended the victory with his two goals, spearheaded a superb attacking force, with help from a few pals.
When fit and firing, the 31-year-old is a potent performer and he was at his best on his 100th run-out for the Paisley outfit.
His ability to hold up the ball and allow his team-mates to join in proved pivotal as St Mirren swept forward with speed.
While his opener came with a side of controversy – a quick free-kick in the build-up was taken with the ball moving – and his second, after a lengthy VAR wait, was a thing of beauty, he still didn’t score the goal of the day.
That honour fell to Dan Nlundulu. His crucial second just before half-time was as nice a swivel and strike Hampden has seen in a long time.
Not surprising goalscorers, that pair. Unlike Richard King, who grabbed the third.
The defender was brought on, presumably, to help shut up shop and see St Mirren through. Instead, the Jamaica international carried on with a foray forward and found the back of the net, albeit with a bit of fortune.
Among other things, he exhibited exactly what Robinson insists is a “misconception” about his side. They are more than a rough and tough, physical outfit.
“We actually have one of the smallest back fives in the league, so it is a bit of a misconception,” Robinson told BBC Scotland.
“They have certainly got more than that and, if you combine physicality with talent and an end product, we showed that in abundance.”
