Former boss Oran Kearney looks to have distanced himself from a return to The Showgrounds after last night's victory for St Mirren over Hamilton.

Speculation is rife he is set for a dramatic return but speaking after the 2-0 win which still gives the Buddies hope of avoiding the drop Kearney said: “That’s the bandits that are social media. My head has been focused 100% on this game and preparing for Saturday.

“I’m here and loving it and I hope the club are happy with me. From the word go I’ve made it clear that my family are in Northern Ireland and I’m here and I find a way to work with that.

“Coleraine are a club that are very close to my heart. I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for Coleraine – but I’m here to do a job.

“I had nineteen people over tonight from Northern Ireland including my son Luca straight from school - so the travelling isn’t that difficult from that point of view.”
