Robinson: It's 'utterly ridiculous' that Hearts boss Naismith is under pressure

Stephen Robinson says the suggestion that Steven Naismith is “under pressure” so early in the season after everything they achieved last campaign is “utterly ridiculous”.
The St Mirren manager, who is preparing to host Hearts in Paisley this weekend, conceded that is “the world we are living in” but backed the Tynecastle club to be up the top end of the Premiership in May.
Speaking to the media on Friday, he said: “I am wary of Hearts every single time, they have a fantastic manager in Steven Naismith and they have an abundance of talent in their 30-man squad.
“Steven strengthened over the summer by adding some really good technical players like Yan Danda and Blair Spittal, they have very good players and huge threats from everywhere, Lawrence Shankland is one of the best strikers in the league.
“I have no doubt that Hearts will be up challenging at the top end of the table, they will have a run in Europe and we will have to make sure we are at the very top of our game.
