SPFL Review: St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson hoping to pull off impressive hat-trick of top-six finishes By PAUL FORSYTH Published: 15:05 EDT, 30 March 2025 | Updated: 15:08 EDT, 30 March 2025 e-mail View comments For the first time in many a year, the Scottish Premiership table has an old-fashioned look about it, at least in the top half, where the country’s big clubs are finally pulling their weight. Those who don’t care for poorly-supported interlopers are gladly reporting that ‘natural order’ has been restored, with the top six positions all occupied by bright lights from the big cities. Not that they should be too smug about our representatives from Glasgow, Edinburgh , Aberdeen and Dundee collectively coming good and managing at last to make use of their considerable resources.
For one thing, it has taken them far too long. For another, it’s not over yet. While Celtic , Rangers , Hibs and Aberdeen are guaranteed to finish in the top half — and Dundee United need just one more point — sixth-placed Hearts look distinctly vulnerable.
With two games left before the split, the Edinburgh side are just a point ahead of St Mirren and Motherwell. Hearts have come a long way since they stumbled around in the relegation zone earlier this season, but their turnaround under Neil Critchley has a way to go yet. St Mirren are not the kind of team you want breathing down your neck.
It has been a tough season for Stephen Robinson’s side, but a 5-1 demolition of Kilmarnock.
