Stephen Robinson tells St Mirren stars to grasp top six lifeline after late heroics sink Dundee

Delighted Stephen Robinson watched his side burst back on the top six door and then urged his St Mirren stars to go and grab the glory.

Robinson claimed: “I wish there wasn’t a split because we would give ourselves a chance going all the way through.
