St Mirren boss Craig McLeish has stated that the club will not be panicked by interest in Ireland international Killian Phillips. The 24-year-old's two goals in last weekend's 2-0 win at Falkirk have heightened transfer speculation around the Republic of Ireland international.
What happened?
McLeish said: "If he keeps playing like that, we know there's going to be interest. And we know that he's probably at the stage of his career now that he's looking for his next step."
Why it matters for St Mirren
The 24-year-old's form has caught the attention of other clubs, and McLeish is aware that he may be tempted to leave the club. However, he is confident that the team has plans in place to deal with the situation.
What comes next?
McLeish added: "Our squad is quite big at the moment so it's trying to make sure we make really good decisions regarding the last couple we're trying to get. Because our squad is busy, the ones we bring in have to really make a difference to what we're doing."
St Mirren are currently 10th in the Premiership, 40 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian, with 27 goals scored and 48 conceded this season. The team has been on a good run of form, with two wins in their last three games, and McLeish is confident that they can continue to build on this momentum.
Recent form
St Mirren's recent form has been impressive, with two wins in their last three games. The team has been playing with a high level of intensity and energy, and McLeish is confident that this will continue throughout the season.
St Mirren's last result was a 1-0 win over Partick on May 25, 2026, and the team is looking to build on this momentum. McLeish is confident that the team has the talent and the determination to achieve their goals, and he is looking forward to seeing how the season unfolds.
