Craig McLeish reacts to St Mirren’s League Cup exit - Craig McLeish reflects on a chastening afternoon as his St Mirren side were beaten 5-1 by Rangers at Ibrox and knocked out of the Premier Sports Cup. The St Mirren manager admitted Rangers were ruthless in front of goal, rued the manner of the goals and a penalty that did not go his way, but insisted his young group will learn from their biggest test yet. McLeish also gave updates on transfer interest in Killian Phillips, a warm-up injury to his captain, and a promising debut from new signing Ishmail.

Were St Mirren simply second best, or did the game get away from them? Let us know below.
