But this was his most important victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Danny Lennon, who led the Saints to their first League Cup lift in 2013, said Robinson had &#8220;laid the foundations for an incredible era&#8221; at the club. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Three consecutive top six finishes and a return to European football for the first time in 37 years brought accolades. But he wanted silverware to show for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Robinson had twice taken Motherwell to Hampden finals, falling short against Celtic each time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He came up trumps in his third final &#8211; with no luck involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This is once in a lifetime,&#8221; Ayunga added. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been playing since I was 17, I&#8217;m nearly 30, this was the first time I had a chance to win anything. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The manager deserves it. You see what he&#8217;s done year upon year. This is the icing on the cake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">McMenamin explained: &#8220;We came here and believed in ourselves, believed we could beat Celtic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We deserved to put our hands on that trophy. It&#8217;s the only thing this team hasn&#8217;t got in the last few years &#8211; top six finishes, Europe. To get silverware now, we&#8217;ll go down in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Go down in history they will. This will be a team who are talked about in the highest regard round Paisley. Robinson won&#8217;t ever need to buy a pint again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve got the freedom of Vienna&#8217;s nightclub, I know that,&#8221; he laughed on his way to the town centre party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Tears #bus #tactical #tweak #Robinson #hatched #Mirrens #great #day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Said in jest, it&#8217;s far from the first time Robinson has masterminded a fine St Mirren win.
