St Mirren 2-1 Partick Thistle: What the manager said

St Mirren were handed a rematch with Celtic, who they beat in December's League Cup final, after beating Partick Thistle 2-1 to reach the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Marcus Fraser is out for eight weeks, Mika Mandron is out for six or eight weeks and Kion Etete got injured in the warm-up - so we had no strikers to bring on.
