Stephen Robinson has confirmed he is interested in bringing Alex Gogic back to St Mirren. The midfielder spent the second half of last season at the Paisley club after joining on loan from Hibernian.
Ahead of the trip to Dundee United in the cinch Premiership on Saturday, Buddies boss Robinson was asked about a report claiming that the club was close to signing free agent Gogic. “He is one of many players that we are looking at,” said the Northern Irishman who revealed that Toyosi Olusanya is out for “a period of time” with a broken toe. “He is a boy that I really like, that is common knowledge.
He has not signed for anybody so let’s see where we go with it. “We have a number of things we are looking at and some players may have to go to get game time, that is a natural happening in the transfer window. “We have had Alex here previously, he is very popular with the fans and in the dressing room. “He is a centre-half who can play in midfield.
He plays for his country at centre-half and he was superb when I watched him in a back three for Cyprus against Northern Ireland. “Certainly, someone of Alex’s calibre would add to the squad but we have other players we are looking at as well. “Obviously there are no deals over the line yet and there might be a bit of wheeling and dealing in and out as the transfer window ends.” Robinson will not be fooled by Dundee United’s three-game losing run, including a 7-0 defeat in the second leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier against AZ Alkmaar last week.
