Lennon hands Hegarty time to land Saints deal

St Mirren manager Danny Lennon will take an extended look at trialist midfielder Nick Hegarty after he impressed in the 2-1 closed-door victory over Kilmarnock.

The Buddies claimed a confidence-boosting win against Mixu Paatelainen’s Killie – one of the sides they have been tipped to battle out a relegation dogfight with – thanks to goals from Michael Higdon and 17-year-old youth star Jamie McKernon.
