Robinson glad to see St Mirren 'revive' League Cup campaign
Manager Stephen Robinson was relieved to see St Mirren "revive" their League Cup campaign with a 2-1 win at League Two side Forfar. The Buddies boss was far from happy that his Scottish Premiership side drew 0-0 with Arbroath on Saturday before losing the penalty shootout and bonus point. Advertisement At fourth-tier Forfar, defender Jayden Richardson drove in his first goal for the club after nine minutes and Mikael Mandron doubled that lead after 75 minutes, with Kieran Inglis reducing the deficit with a fine strike. Robinson told St Mirren's official X account: "It was a win. These games are a hiding to nothing. You come here, a real sticky pitch. Everyone expects you to win five and six. "We started extremely well and then we got a bit casual with things, without Forfar really threatening apart from free-kicks we gave away needlessly. "We need a few fresh faces to freshen things up as well. But as I've always said at this stage of the season, you're still searching for your best 11 people, you are still searching for form. Advertisement "You're expected to come in and roll people over and Rangers and Celtic don't go to Livingston and Kilmarnock (artificial pitches) and roll them over. "It's difficult to move the ball on these surfaces. It's difficult to get any kind of momentum. "And we can be better, of course, we can be better in certain aspects and in our decision-making, especially. "But we did what we needed to do to win, to sort of revive the campaign again, and we will go on and try and win the next two games and qualify."

Thistle say alcohol trial 'went well' as Ayr United withdraw application
Partick Thistle say a trial to sell alcohol at Firhill 'went well' and was an enjoyable experience for all of the fans who took part. The Maryhill side were in League Cup action with a 2-0 win over Stranraer in the group stages on Tuesday night. They were one of the clubs taking part in an initiative to sell alcoholic drinks outwith hospitality areas in football stadiums for the first time in over 40 years. A blanket ban was introduced in 1981 following crowd trouble after a Scottish Cup final and has been in force ever since. Seven Scottish clubs have now been granted permission to sell beer to those with general match tickets as part of an initiative bidding to show that relaxing the long-enforced ban can 'enhance the fan experience'. Thistle say they are now looking forward to the second part of the trial when they host Queen of the South next Tuesday. A spokesperson for the club said: 'It was great for the club to be involved in the trial. Operationally everything went well and the fans who attended all enjoyed themselves. 'There were no issues with behaviour and we believe that it added to the experience of what was a good night when you consider the result as well. 'We look forward to the second part of the trial when Queen of the South visit The Wyre Stadium at Firhill next Tuesday.' Meanwhile, Championship club Ayr United have withdrawn their application to be part of the trial. They were due to provide alcohol to a small section of match-going supporters at their upcoming games against Arbroath and Forfar, but they have now revealed that they will no longer be participating in the initiative. A statement released on Wednesday said: 'We can advise supporters that it has withdrawn applications for temporary alcohol licenses for the matches against Arbroath and Forfar following further discussions with local stakeholders.
