Diarmuid O’Carroll believes St Mirren B team’s run out in the SPFL Trust Trophy will give the first team a serious fitness boost.
While the side that took on East Stirlingshire at the SMISA Stadium on Tuesday night was largely made up of academy youngsters, the Buddies took the opportunity to get minutes in the legs of forwards Toyosi Olusanya and Eamonn Brophy.
While the Saints were eventually beaten 4-2 on penalties after a goalless 90 minutes in Paisley, assistant boss O’Carroll is confident the first round clash will benefit both the club’s talented prospects and their senior players looking to get back to full fitness.
