Stephen Robinson believes the visit of Hibernian on Saturday will be St Mirren’s biggest test of the season so far. The Buddies are on a high following successive cinch Premiership wins over Ross County and Dundee United which followed defeats to Motherwell and Aberdeen.
Lee Johnson’s Hibs have won once in their four league games to date, but should be buoyed by their 2-2 comeback draw against nine-man Rangers at Easter Road last week.
St Mirren boss Robinson said: “I think Hibs are a very strong squad. It will be a different threat from what we had last week. “They pass the ball a lot, similar to Dundee United but they have got big threats in behind. “Martin Boyle is a terrific signing for Hibs, a great player.
That is a threat that we are aware of. “We have to concentrate on ourselves, if we look towards the end of last season we had four clean sheets and we have had another two clean sheets (in recent games) so our record of keeping clean sheets is very good and that is the base you have to start with. “But this will be for me, probably our biggest test so far against a forward line that is very quick and mobile. “We probably haven’t come up against that so far so it will be a test for us on Saturday. “We are aware of their threats.
