There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.He said: "It's an opportunity missed. I thought we were superb in the first half and in total control of the game. We went 1-0 up thanks to a fantastic bit of play. "We didn't weather that. We conceded from a set-play and a cross into the box which is uncharacteristic from us but I can't be too hard on the players who showed great fighting spirit and good quality as always.
"We have a tough game and will have to defend our box well against Kilmarnock. They are a good side and no game is easy in this division. Derek [McInnes] will have them organised and they've very talented players."
