Craig McLeish: I’ll get Killian Phillips the best move he can possibly get

Phillips followed up his opening-day double at Falkirk with the only goal from the spot as the Paisley side beat visitors St Johnstone.

THREE IN TWO: Killian Phillips was on target again to keep St Mirren on top of the William Hill Premiership for a second Saturday night.

St Mirren manager Craig McLeish vowed to help Killian Phillips get the best move he can after the Irishman kept the Buddies top of the William Hill Premiership.

The midfielder converted a 73rd-minute penalty to earn a 1-0 win over St Johnstone and make it three goals in two league matches.
