We asked this year's SMiSA 'Saint for a Day' raffle winner Martyn Blair to give us his thoughts on the big game. Which despite a very rainy start to the day the weather did clear for kick off!
"First of all I would like to thank SMiSA for drawing my name out of the hat for the raffle.
When I received the message that I won the raffle it was completely unexpected and couldn't wait to take part in Saint for a Day. Being a season ticket holder since a young age it's always been a dream to play on the St.Mirren pitch.
It was a great experience to on Sunday go into the dressing room and get ready for the game. Then to finally walk out the tunnel was probably the highlight of the day. The game was very tight through out the whole game and even into penalties there was nothing between the teams. I'm just glad that I was able to slot away my penalty. Was great to meet some of the players who turned up at the day and able to talk away to the manager Gary Teale.
All in all the whole day was something I'll remember my whole life and least I can always say I've played on the pitch and scored a penalty.
Thanks again"
