Tony Fitzpatrick believes Keanu Baccus will return to St Mirren a “much better player” after going toe-to-toe with world champions France.
While former Saints stars like Gordon McQueen, Archie Gemmill and Frank McAvennie went on to play at the World Cup after departing Paisley, on Tuesday night Baccus significantly became the first to do so while still on the club’s books.
Coming on late in the second half, Baccus’ second Australia cap couldn’t have been much more special as the 24-year-old found himself up against current champions Kylian Mbappe and co on the world’s biggest football stage in Qatar.
