Saints’ goal ace finds shooting boots again to sink Hamilton
He said: “It was nice to finally get back on the scoresheet as that’s what every striker wants to do. But it’s a pity I couldn’t get a hat-trick.
“I know I haven’t reached the levels of last season but hopefully this will give me confidence. It was preying on my mind. I actually thought I wouldn’t score again. “Someone sent me two good clips this week and that got me right mentally again. “I’m going to keep watching. It was of two Man United players missing chances and it shows we are all human. “Hernandez keeps going after missing about six chances and scores a last- minute winner against Newcastle. The other one involved Rooney and his amazing bicycle kick goal against Man City. You don’t see the build-up to that goal when he takes a really bad touch.
“My old agent sent me the clips and it definitely helped.”
It ended in a stroll for Saints but it was another brutal day for Accies who are con - s t a nt l y failing to stick their chances away then chucking them in at the other end.
It’s a deadly combination that stretched their winless run to 12 games and saw them sink to level on points with Inverness at the foot of the table – with the sides squaring up on Tuesday. Martin Canning’s side

Watson made a superb tackle to deny Blair Alston but Danny Swanson’s corner picked out Cummins and he planted his header in the back of the net.
Accies simply collapsed and it was 2-0 just four minutes later after a defensive horror show.
Canning was without an entire backline with Massimo Donati, Mickey Devlin and Georgios Sarris all out but Dan Seaborne should have done better after Cummins picked his pocket 30 yards out. He fed Alston and the midf ielder returned the ball across the face of the goal for the striker to stick it away.
Worse was to come for Accies as Davidson was allowed a free header in the box to thump it in off the post after Brian Easton’s corner.
Saints boss Wrighzct was thrilled for Cummins. He said: “Strikers want to score but there are other attributes they can bring to the game, like leading the line.
“He’s done that despite being unfortunate in front of goal. Hopefully this will give him the impetus to kick on in the second half of the season.” St Johnstone Hamilton
