Buddies boss Jim Goodwin firmly believes Connor Ronan has the quality to follow in Jamie McGrath’s footsteps and gain international recognition.
The build-up to last night’s clash was all about McGrath’s return to the St Mirren starting XI, having been left out of the side altogether in the club’s two previous games due to question marks over his future in Paisley.
But it was fellow midfielder Ronan who stole the limelight with a superb second-half strike that turned out to be the winner against Aberdeen as the hosts made it three wins from three since returning from the winter break.
