Carl Robinson ‘to be considered’ for St Mirren job | OneFootball

Former Sunderland midfielder Carl Robinson is among the leading contenders for the vacant St Mirren job, according to the Scottish Sun.

The 49-year-old made 57 appearances for the Black Cats between 2004 and 2006 and scored five goals, earning 52 caps for Wales.

He has not held a managerial post since leaving Western Sydney Wanderers in 2022, but is assistant coach at MLS side Atlanta United and works in coach education with the Welsh FA. He is keen to return to management.

St Mirren sought new options after Stephen Robinson left for Aberdeen earlier this month. They are 10th with 24 points from 30 league games, while Livingston sit bottom on 15 with one win, leaving relegation prospects slim.

The Buddies lifted the Scottish League Cup for only the second time in their history in December, beating Celtic 3-1 at Hampden Park. The report also names Neil Lennon, Simo Valakari, Gary Naismith, Mark Wilson and Tony Docherty among the candidates.

Before the Premiership split they face Falkirk away, Aberdeen at home and Celtic away, and also meet Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final on 18 April. If he gets the job, Robinson could yet lead the Buddies to further success.
