STEPHEN ROBINSON has insisted his full focus is on St Mirren amid links with the vacant Luton Town post.

The Buddies boss is thought to be part of a three-man shortlist to take over after Nathan Jones' departure for Southampton.

Robinson - who revealed he's not been contacted by Luton - was named alongside Neil Critchley and Mark Bonner as possible candidates for the job.

It comes just weeks after the manager was floated as a possible runner for the Northern Ireland job.

Robinson finished his playing career at Luton and has links with the club - but today insisted his concentration is only on matters in Paisley.

He told the Press Association: “I am used to it now.

“I suppose credit to the players and staff that you get linked with jobs but I am focused on a very hard job here.

“We are trying to over-achieve against the odds and that is what we are doing every week and we are doing it to the best of our ability so my concentration is solely on that.”

Robinson still holds fond memories of his time at Luton, but again brushed aside links with a return as he hailed the St Mirren squad for their performances this season.

He added: “I absolutely loved it. We got promotion, nothing but brilliant memories for me.

“I’ve still got friends there and still speak to a lot of people from there and as a player it is a great football club but there is not a correlation between management and a player.

“It is credit to the players, if you are getting linked with jobs you are doing something right.

“We are joint-fifth, we are a point off fourth so it is credit to everyone here.

“I get the blame when things go wrong and the credit when things go right but there is a lot more people involved in the whole picture.

“So we will take it as a compliment but we’ll solely focus on the job in front of us.”
