He can be anything he wants. We’ll keep driving him because he can be a huge asset for the club.”The tactician was further impressed by his team’s overall performance saying they played well and should have scored more goals in the game.”It was more like how we will play. We’ve spoken as a group about the cup games being false and playing out from the back and playing in front of people way too much. But we got the ball forward early, into feet, in behind, and created some really good chances. We could and should have scored a lot more.”FULL-TIME: St Mirren 3-1 FC Edinburgh.
