St Mirren boss Gus MacPherson was full of praise for striker Billy Mehmet after his goal rescued a point from a 1-1 draw at Kilmarnock.

Mehmet struck eight minutes from time at Rugby Park to boost the Buddies in their bid to avoid relegation from the SPL.

MacPherson told the Paisley Daily Express: "It was a terrific strike and he's getting a lot of praise at the moment.

"Technically Billy is a very good player and it takes quality to strike the ball like that. It was certainly a good strike.

"He's capable of playing in midfield and he's capable of playing in the wider area or through the middle.

"He's technically a very good player and playing in the middle of the park is not a problem for him."
