Valur vs St Mirren: Stephen Robinson names starting team for Conference League qualifierSNS Group

Stephen Robinson has named his starting line-up for St Mirren’s Conference League qualifier against FC Valur.

The Paisley side have travelled to Iceland for the first leg on Thursday night in what will be their first European tie since the 1980s.

St Mirren finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership last season and earned a place in second qualifying round of the third tier competition.

Their opponents, who have former Everton and Swansea star Gylffi Sigurdsson, finished second in the Icelandic top-flight.

An aggregate victory over the two-legs will see them reach the third round of qualifiers but defeat will see them eliminated from Europe.

Robinson has started with Balcombe in goals behind Fraser, Gogic, Taylor, Brown, Bwomono, Olusanya, O’Hara, Smyth, Boyd-Munce and Mandron.

The second leg will take place in Paisley next week.
