"Killian Phillips says he wants to help St Mirren add a greater attacking threat this season after his double secured victory at Falkirk on the opening weekend of the Premiership. The Irish midfielder struck either side of half-time as the Buddies earned a deserved three points at the Falkirk Stadium.
