I have no problem with Duckens Nazon being charged for the elbow on Kristoffer Ajer, no problem whatsoever. But how Scott Brown can get exonerated for a clear stamp on Jim Kellermann is an absolute disgrace and yet another example of how incompetent the disciplinary system is.

Richard Tait has been a captain at Motherwell, Joe Shaugness has been a captain at St Johnstone, Conor McCarthy has been a captain at Cork City and, potentially, Marcus Fraser has been a captain at Ross County. That is some amount of experience in a back four.

For anyone to lay any significant blame at the feet of Oran Kearney for St Mirren’s current troubles, is nothing short of absolutely ludicrous, in my opinion. He isn’t trying to change one or two things. He’s having a start all over again.

Great win for St Mirren that. Dundee United won so vital to stay in the top half too. Ilkay had the full back all day long. But the absolutely outstanding player on the pitch today had to be Ethan Erhahon. Such a dominant performance, breaking up play and starting moves. 19, too.
