St Mirren have defied relegation predictions by securing six points out of six to start the season. Manager Craig Mc Leish credits this strong start to using the negative emotions from last season's play-offs as 'fuel' to motivate the squad.

Mc Leish emphasizes getting back to basics, focusing on running, energy, and relentless desire. This high standard was evident in their recent performance, where two clean sheets helped set a positive tempo for the season. New recruit Jacob Chapman played a vital role with a crucial penalty save.

Midfielder Killian Phillips has been a standout influence, scoring all three of the team's Premiership goals so far. While Mc Leish acknowledges the club's model involves developing and moving players on, he remains focused on maximizing the player's potential while the team continues its strong momentum.
