Stephen Robinson launched a scathing attack on his St Mirren squad after a 2-0 loss to Hearts at Tynecastle. The defeat, suffered against ten men for 75 minutes, marks a fourth consecutive league loss. Robinson fumed that his players had made him 'look stupid' with their passive performance, leaving the club in a precarious third-bottom position in the Scottish Premiership.

Robinson believes the squad may be suffering a hangover from their recent League Cup victory, suggesting some players have 'stopped doing basics' and lack confidence. He singled out the team's softness, noting that Hearts looked more physical despite being a man down. This collapse is alarming for a side that beat Celtic at Hampden just a month ago.

The manager issued a stark warning that St Mirren are now '100% in a relegation battle'. He faces a critical task to reverse this slide, starting with a Scottish Cup tie against Livingston. With rivals strengthening and fan frustration growing, Robinson must find a reaction fast to prevent a season of promise from turning into a desperate fight for survival.
