Stephen Robinson feels there's a lot to build on in Paisley after steering his side to another impressive home performance against an Old Firm side.
St Mirren were on course to repeat the feat of beating Celtic in September, leading Rangers 1-0 until a late penalty allowed the visitors to level from the spot through James Tavernier.
Despite the disappointment of losing out on two points, the 1-1 draw stretched the Buddies' home run to eight consecutive games without defeat.
Robinson told Renfrewshire Live Sport: "We are disappointed not to take all three points. That shows how far we have come.
"I thought we sat back a little after going ahead and that is the eighth penalty against us in 15 games, though it was a penalty and I have no complaints. That is what VAR is for.
"I didn't see them scoring any other way. I thought we were great defensively and very good on the break as well.
"That is our eighth game unbeaten at home which is fantastic. We actually feel aggrieved that we don't have a better points tally.
"We wonder where we could be with a little bit more luck, but hopefully that evens itself out over the season.
"I couldn't be more proud of the players. We fight against the odds and they are the best group of boys I have worked with. There is a lot to build on."
