Stephen Robinson is relishing the tactical challenge of European football as St Mirren look to defy the odds against Brann and reach the Conference League play-offs.Saints thumped Valur of Iceland 4-1 in the previous round and are level at 1-1 with Brann for the second leg in Bergen on Thursday."As a coach it’s challenging, it’s great,” said manager Robinson."I’ve been lucky enough to experience it before with Motherwell, and Northern Ireland in the European Championship.
