Davidson form pleases Wright

ST JOHNSTONE manager To m m y W r i g h t w a s delighted with the display of Murray Davidson in the home 4-1 success over Motherwell.

“Muzz” scored Saints’ fourth goal but it was his overall performance which pleased the Saints gaffer.

Tommy said:“Murray was very solid, very strong and he played an important part in our success.

“Paul Paton also came in and did a good job.

“In fact, like Murray, he was very strong.”

Continuing his praise of midfield players,Tommy felt Stefan Scougall also played his part.

“Stefan put in a great ball for our opening goal from Steven MacLean,” Tommy went on.

“Getting him and Michael O’Halloran on t he ball further up the park is key to our success.

“Stefan has settled i n very well but there is room for improvement from him and he will get better as the season goes on.

“Right now, he is doing well and I feel he will continue to do so.

“I was determined to get Stefan into the club and get Michael O’Halloran back and t hey are definitely proving their worth.

“Stefan is an infectious character, a great lad and he has fitted in well to our dressing-room.

“Mind you, it is an easy one to fit into.”

Meanwhile, Saints’ search for a striker continues.

Conor Sammon and Miles Storey were linked with the Perth club but have signed for Partick and may face Saints on Saturday.

However, it’s believed Saints presently have a player in training with them.

Tonight, their U/20s are in action in the Irn-Bru Cup.

They meet Aberdeen U/20s at Brechin’s Glebe Park with the match going ahead at 7.45pm.
