St Mirren defender Alex Gogic hit out at fans for directing "disgraceful" abuse at goalkeeper Ryan Mullen following their 6-2 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic. The backlash came after Mullen's error led to Celtic's opening goal, with the former Celtic youth player receiving criticism despite persevering through injury during the match. Gogic emphasized the team's principle of "winning together and losing together."

The criticism comes as Mullen faces an injury that could keep him sidelined, forcing St Mirren to consider an emergency loan signing. With goalkeeper George also injured and Peter Urminsky on loan, teenager Tamosevicius may become the club's only available keeper. Former Celtic player Tony Watt defended Mullen, noting the "natural" mistake and questioning why he faced abuse while injured.

The goalkeeper crisis adds pressure to St Mirren's precarious league position. The team sits just two points above the relegation play-off with five games remaining. Manager McLeish faces the challenge of resolving both the goalkeeper situation and the team's league form as they prepare for their final matches of the Premiership season.
