St Mirren cannot afford to produce another dismal half of football. The Buddies meek performance on Saturday allowed Kilmarnock to plunder all three points in Paisley.

Jim Goodwin tries to shore up his leaky defence. The Buddies have shipped nine goals in their last five games, which have yielded just one point and seen the club plummet towards the wrong end of the Premiership table.

Kilmarnock to St Mirren Park this afternoon. The gaffer is however looking forward to having his first choice starting XI available, with keeper Jak Alnwick back available but key defender Richard Tait suspended for the next two games.“We’ve just got to accept the circumstances we’re in.” he told Express Sport.“We’ve had a lot of disruption and people say they’re excuses.

Jim Goodwin was left frustrated after Lawrence Shankland found space in the box to slam home Dundee United ’s opener. The Scotland international bagged his first top flight goal for the Terrors with an exquisite finish when the Saints failed to properly deal with a corner.

The former Notts County forward had been trying to build up his fitness, having not had a full pre-season since his move to Paisley. But he sustained a heel problem in the 3-0 home defeat to Hibs last Saturday, which caused him to be replaced at half-time by fellow new attacker Lee Erwin.

Shane Duffy spent his life dreaming about turning out for Celtic, he probably never dared to believe he’d get off to such a start.But now he’s had a taste for getting on the scoresheet in wins over Ross County and St Mirren, the defender is starting to suspect this hot streak may continue for some time to come.It’s not that he buys into Gary Breen’s trash talk about the standard of the Scottish top flight.It’s rather that, after getting a feel for the way Neil Lennon’s side go about their business, the 28-year-old has identified an opportunity to get on the end of more chances in one season than at any other club during his career.He said: “I’m delighted with the results, which are the main thing.

James Forrest left him rubbing his eyes in disbelief last night as he urged his Celtic troops to storm back to the top of the Premiership. But St Mirren counterpart Jim Goodwin insisted referee John Beaton could also have done with a second look at a key penalty incident which went against his side as he raised the subject of VAR.

Neil Lennon 's side denied permission to play by the Scottish Government. That's allowed Rangers to open up a six point lead over last season's champions, who also have a game in hand against Aberdeen to play.

SPFL of failing to show leadership by not postponing Saturday’s clash with Hibs in light of St Mirren’s keeper crisis.And he insists Celtic and Rangers would NOT have been told to play if their entire goalkeeping department had been wiped out by Covid-19.The Buddies boss has been left hanging by the governing body after his demand for answers as to why he was left scrambling around for a keeper just hours before kick off.Goodwin admits there’s no point in pursuing the matter now.But he is adamant that special dispensation should have been granted to the Buddies and that the Old Firm would NOT have been made to play.Goodwin, who face Celtic this evening in a match rearranged due to Boli Bolingoli’s Covid-19 rules breach, said: “I don’t think

Record Sport: “A lot of people have said the SPFL wouldn’t have forced the Old Firm to play if either had been in the same situation but that is very easy for us to say now.“A precedent has been set and Celtic would have to do the exact same and go and get someone on an
emergency loan if the same thing happened to them ahead of Wednesday’s game.“For me, it’s a really dangerous precedent and given the way the SPFL arrived at the decision there’s a real possibility that it will happen again.“Jak tested positive and the number two and three were training with him.

SPFL wouldn't have dared force Celtic or Rangers to play without three keepers. Buddies boss Jim Goodwin demanded an explanation from league bosses after he was forced to draft in Bobby Zlamal on-loan from Hearts just hours before losing 3-0 to Hibs.Saints even had to name 40-year-old goalkeeping coach Jamie Langfield on the bench after Covid-19 ruled out three of their first-team shot-stoppers.Frustrated Goodwin later claimed the SPFL risked turning Scottish football into a global laughing stock.

St Mirren were forced to fulfil Saturday’s fixture against Hibs despite having no recognised goalkeeper.The Paisley boss worked his way through a 27-man shortlist before eventually securing an emergency loan deal for Hearts’ stopper Bobby Zlamal hours before kick-off.Goodwin wants to know why they would not give Saints special dispensation – and could have been made to play the game with an outfield player in goal.He said. “I’m hoping to speak to the SPFL and find out why they thought this was okay.“If this had been caused by our players doing
 something stupid we wouldn’t have had any sympathy.

Jim Goodwin has let rip at the SPFL for refusing to postpone St Mirren’s virus-hit defeat to Hibs.He revealed the Buddies were left with just seven hours to draft in a goalie as two first-team keepers tested positive for Covid-19 and a third was forced to isolate on Friday night. It left Goodwin scrambling to draft in Bobby Zlamal on loan from Hearts before naming 40-year-old coach Jamie Langfield as a sub.

Clyde goalkeeping ranks by adding David Wilson after his St Mirren exit. The 19-year-old stopper left the Buddies at the end of last season having spent time on loan at Glenafton in the former West Region Junior ranks.
