St Mirren ended the weekend in fourth place and now have won only two of their last 10 matches in all competitions after their 2-0 defeat to Rangers.
A double from Abdallah Sima secured the three points for the Ibrox side as they returned to winning ways after back-to-back draws.
However, St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson did not criticise his players. He said: “I’m not sure what people expect when you look at the resources.
"We had a loss of £1.6 million when I arrived and now we’re sitting fourth with no debt.

“The only people that deserve credit for that are the players.
“They are the ones that have turned it round, they have made the crowds come back and they are the ones selling merchandise.
“They are putting performances in on the pitch so they won’t get any criticism from me.
“They are brilliant, brilliant boys with 100 per cent commitment and enthusiasm.
“They play for the badge every single week and I’ve got nothing but praise for this group of players.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
