St Mirren's performance under interim manager Craig McLeish has garnered positive feedback, particularly from Livingston defender Cammy Kerr. In the Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic, St Mirren managed to equalize with two goals from Mikael Mandron, taking the match to extra time. However, they ultimately conceded four goals in the additional period, ending their hopes for a cup double this season. Kerr noted that St Mirren has shown significant improvement under McLeish, describing him as a fresh coach with new ideas. He expressed confidence that the team will avoid relegation, stating, "They are a strong team and I think in the coming weeks in the split they are a team that will be OK." McLeish aims to solidify his position as a long-term manager by continuing to enhance the team's performance.
