St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson felt his side got what they deserved after beating Ross County to land their first win of the season, having feared it was going to be another “hard-luck story”.
Richard Tait’s superb second-half strike proved the difference between the teams on a stiflingly hot day in Paisley. Saints had dominated against Motherwell on the opening day of the league season but ended up losing and Robinson admitted he was worried that another frustrating afternoon was brewing here.
He said: “I thought we thoroughly deserved to win. We created a lot of half-chances, Jonah (Ayunga) hit the post in the first half as well. “But you’re wondering if it’s going to be another of those days and a hard-luck story again.
It needed a moment of quality to win it. “Richard scored a couple of decent goals for me at Motherwell as well. He’s technically very good with both feet so it was no real surprise. “But I thought we were very organised and the boys have got their just rewards for a very good performance today. “The work-rate was incredible.
