St Mirren's rollercoaster season has left fans and management pondering the future of interim manager Craig McLeish. After a triumphant League Cup victory over Celtic in December, the club faced a challenging league campaign that saw them dragged into a relegation battle. Following the departure of Stephen Robinson to Aberdeen, McLeish took charge with the primary objective of ensuring the club's survival in the Premiership. His efforts culminated in a narrow escape from relegation, highlighted by a crucial 2-1 aggregate victory over Partick Thistle in the play-off final. After the final whistle, McLeish expressed his desire to continue in the role, emphasizing his commitment to improving the team's performance moving forward. Despite winning only three of his nine league matches since taking over, McLeish's leadership has been praised, particularly for guiding St Mirren to safety. Key players, including Alex Gogic, have shown support for McLeish, suggesting that with a pre-season, he could further develop the squad. As discussions about his future begin, the club is keen to plan ahead to avoid another season of uncertainty.
