St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson expressed his delight after vice-chairman Jim Gillespie decided to remain with the club, despite being linked to the chief executive role at Rangers. Robinson emphasized Gillespie's vital role in driving the club's ambitions and improving standards, stating that he has been a key factor in the team's recent successes. Meanwhile, St Mirren has suffered a significant injury blow with defender Alex Iacovitti sidelined until Christmas due to a tendon issue, compounded by fellow defender Richard Taylor's hernia problem. Robinson is considering potential signings to address the defensive shortfall, mentioning the possibility of re-signing Charles Dunne, a former player. Gillespie's decision to stay has been described as a major boost for the club as they prepare for their upcoming matches. The situation reflects a shift in the club's mindset, moving away from complacency towards a more ambitious outlook under Gillespie's leadership.
