Kenny McLean insists St Mirren are still a united squad
Kenny McLean insists St Mirren are still a united camp, despite reports of unrest in the Paisley camp.
Saints recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Tuesday with McLean scoring a last minute penalty, and the midfielder was keen to point out the rumours surrounding the club are without foundation.
“We are a very tight-knit group and everybody has got each other's back," he said. "The togetherness we showed last night proves that.
“When things aren't going well, it's always easy for people to make up rumours about things going on behind the scenes. We've already seen those kind of rumours this season but it's just not true.
“The manager has kept us all in good spirits and kept things positive. Training has always been enjoyable. We don't take too much notice of these rumours because we behind the scenes and know what it's really like.
“It's strange, I just don't know where these things come from. It's obviously someone making it up, which is not nice. It's like people are trying to kick us when we are down.
“However, that draw at Aberdeen will hopefully give us another massive lift and results can start turning our way.
“It was a great point to get considering the position we are in. We are struggling for points so to go to one of the hardest grounds in the league and get a draw after being 2-0 down felt like a victory.
“If we had not got that goal back so quickly after Aberdeen's second, the heads could have gone done easily. But we responded well and kept fighting to get a result.”
