DOUBLE DEFERMENT DISAPPOINTS DUO

Youngsters David Winters and Jamie McCunnie have good reason to be disappointed. The teenage pair had been included in the first team pool on last weekend's trip to Paisley, only for that game to also fall victim to the weather. They were required for Youth Cup duty on Tuesday, hence missing top team involvement when the St Mirren game was rescheduled for the same night.

Now another chance to travel with the big squad has again been dashed - with defender Mark Wilson a third youth team player who would have also made the trip to Aberdeen. "These lads will get more opportunities to join the squad in future", added Smith.
