John Needham insists Sunday’s result against Celtic on and off the pitch proved the club made the right call to restrict Celtic supporters to just one stand.
The St Mirren chairman was among thousands of Buddies celebrating a memorable victory against the Hoops, which coincided with the first meeting with an Old Firm side in Paisley since the club decided to keep the Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand strictly for home supporters.
While stopping short of saying it was the decisive factor in the impressive 2-0 win, Needham is adamant the early signs are all positive that the move both helped Stephen Robinson’s side on the pitch while not significantly hitting the Paisley side in the pocket.
