Scottish Premiership: Battle for fourth, Makenzie Kirk & Don Cowie in focus
Makenzie Kirk bolstered his burgeoning reputation last weekend with the opening goal as St Johnstone drew 1-1 with Aberdeen.
It was the 20-year-old forward’s fifth goal in all competitions this season, which includes one for Saints under-20s in the SPFL Trust Trophy.
Kirk is following in the footsteps of his father, Andy, who played and scored in Scottish football with Hearts and Dunfermline Athletic and also represented Northern Ireland. Kirk senior is of course part of the coaching staff at St Johnstone.
For the younger Kirk, St Mirren are in his sights. The Buddies side are coming off a defeat before this Saturday’s contest in Perth.
The gap between the sides stands at four points with St Johnstone ninth and St Mirren seventh.
With sixth-placed Dundee among the sides not playing this weekend, it’s an opportunity for both sides to make up some ground.
