Robinson on Aberdeen link, 'relegation battle' & more

Manager Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media before St Mirren's Scottish Premiership trip to Livingston on Tuesday.

Here are the key lines:

• The St Mirren boss says it's "nice" to be linked with jobs, such as the vacant Aberdeen role, but his sole focus is on his team.
• Robinson insists speculation about his future "doesn't turn my head", saying: "I've been linked with every job in Scotland, England, Ireland."
• "What you also have to remember is somebody's lost their job, which is horrible," he adds. "It's a horrible industry. It's certainly not for me to talk about anybody else's job."
• Robinson says he cannot control reports and he is "certainly not complicating the job" he has in Paisley.
• "We need to do basics well here and that's my main focus," he says.
• The former Motherwell boss concedes St Mirren "are in a relegation battle" but winning their two games in hand could put them "on the verge of the top six again".
• On what he can achieve at St Mirren after multiple top-six finishes and cup glory, he adds: "The biggest thing that has to happen in this football club is staying in this division."
• "People get carried away with what we've done and how we've done it," he says. "But that doesn't change the fact that success is to stay in this division."
