Gus sides with Saints fans

St Mirren boss Gus MacPherson claimed the fans were right to boo his side off after Wednesday's goalless draw with already relegated Gretna.

The two bottom clubs in the SPL produced a lacklustre match in front of just 751 fans at Fir Park and afterwards MacPherson joined in the criticism of his side.

Speaking about the fans' negative reaction, he said: "I totally understand that.

"We gave them a lot of praise after Saturday's performance against Hibs, but they were a shadow of the team that played at Easter Road.

"The strange thing is we took nothing from Easter Road and got a point there after a performance like that.

"The disappointing thing is the younger players' confidence will take a dent from that."
