Review
A superb performance against St Mirren. Four goals in a devastating six minute spell set the Bhoys up to play some exciting football. Late in the second half Roy Aitken grabbed another goal to make the final score 5-0 after a typical marauding run.
The forward line of Provan,McStay, McGarvey, Burns and Nicholas are irresistable on this form.
