Ethan Erhahon insists he’s not out for revenge against Livingston this afternoon after St Mirren’s gutting League Cup semi- final defeat last month.

But he admits it would be sweet to seal a top-six spot before hunting down the Lions after the split.

Erhahon played the full 90 minutes as the Buddies suffered a narrow 1- 0 defeat to David Martindale’s resurgent side at Hampden.

“We know getting the top six be massive and we’re doing our utmost to get there.

Erhahon has enjoyed a breakthrough season with St Mirren this season, becoming a firm fixture at the heart of the club’s midfield despite his tender years.

He believes he has matured massively thanks to expert advice from his gaffer Jim Goodwin, who played the same position as the youngster for the Buddies.

Erhahon explained: “It’s helped
