FORMER St Mirren manager Danny Lennon insists the club’s current predicament at the Championship basement can be traced back to the appointment of ‘old school’ Tommy Craig as boss. Lennon has claimed Craig went behind his back because his number two felt threatened by the emergence of current Hearts assistant manager Austin MacPhee behind the scenes.

AS a club seemingly in a constant state of flux in recent years, St Mirren should be well-versed at welcoming new faces, but on the pitch it seems the more things change the more they stay the same at the Paisley club. Jack Ross became Saints’ sixth permanent manager in two and a half years in October, while Gordon Scott joined up with a group of supporters to complete a takeover of the club last summer.
