I was lucky enough to get a tour of Fir Park a few week ago and I saw his shirts all printed up I actually thought he might have been unlucky to have got caught up in all the turmoil that followed Alexander then Dibble.

I'm looking forward to seeing our approach to the game this week, Hammell only had the one training session after Alexander's departure and he mentioned pre match he would have wanted to change more in regards to tactics and team selection but his hands were obviously tied so it'll be interesting to see if we shift formation and what lineup he'll plump for. I wouldn't actually be surprised to see Stevie firing in the likes of Speirs before Tierney or Cornelius. Another win here would be massive, like us last week St Johnstone struggled creatively up top, you can't help but feel the game won't be a classic and it'll either finish 0-0 or someone sneaking it by a goal, I miss the days of Chris Humphrey tearing them to shreds at Fir Park. Willie Collum is the ref for tomorrows game.

It's a great three points I won't argue with that considering the week we have had. Hammell and Kerr only had yesterday to prepare so all things considered that is a tremendous result.

FT 1-0

5 added mins.

Mugabi on for Van Veen.

Lamie off.

Another great save from Kelly.

Its a go for Joe. Efford and youngster Speirs coming on for Goss and Morris.

Cornelius on for Spittal.

St Mirren have been stinking in front of goal so far, you would imagine they will eventually get one of these on target. Need to try and be a bit tighter at the back.

I see Trevor Carson has not been taking Richard Tait's advice on how to maintain a receding hair line.

These St Mirren commentators are tremendous. They don't think it was a penalty despite the clear footage that the defender has his arm way out blocking a goal bound shot,

GOALLLLL VV

Penalty for us.

Tremendous save by Kelly

None at all but St Mirren have had two great chances in the last few minutes and put it by the post by miles. Should be taking that as a warning.

Stephen O'Donnell on for McGinn

Paul McGinn and Mark O'Hara clashing heads. McGinn coming off worst.

It's been a bit of a cagey start. Nice run by Van Veen before he was fouled and he managed to head the resulting free kick across the goal but sadly no takers. A wee bit frustrating as we had a trio of crosses in quick succession that all hit the first man.

Yeah Terry Butcher and Ian Baraclough. However, Jim Gannon was born in London but moved to Ireland at a young age and he said he considers himself to be Irish.

The B Team line up Carson, Gallacher, Shaughnessy, Dunne, Strain, Baccus, Erhahon, O'Hara, Tanser, Greive and Ayunga. Subs Urminsky, Tait, Fraser, Reid, Flynn, Henderson, Offord, Brophy and Main. Richard Tait was a tad generous in the last few fixtures against them. I thought Carson was looking at a lengthy layoff but seems to have recovered from injury. Hopefully we can get off to a positive start.

Todays Team Kelly, McGinn, Solholm, Lamie, Carroll, Maguire, Goss, Spittal, Morris, Shields and Van Veen. Subs Fox, O'Donnell, Mugabi, Efford, Cornelius, Tierney, Mahon, Speirs and Ferrie.
