Mitov named in SPFL Team of the Week

Dimitar Mitov has been named in the SPFL Team of the Week following his top-class display against Hibernian at the weekend.

The goalkeeper pulled off a string of top saves in our 2-1 victory at Easter Road and his performance was noted by a panel who decide the top performers of the weekend.

Mitov has enjoyed an impressive debut season since joining Saints in the summer and Saturday's win over Hibs was another match where he showcased his talents.

Speaking after the game, the Bulgarian international said: “It’s a huge win. We did our homework against Hibs and knew we could create opportunities. It was up to us to defend our box first and foremost and then give our front players a chance to win the game, and they did that.

"I feel last week against Dundee we put in a good performance to get a point minimum. It was about reacting and playing the same way. We knew if we did that, we had a good chance to take at least a point.

“I don’t want to give too many secrets away but we knew that we would get opportunities because they play a really high line. Adama could run the channel and I thought he was outstanding. I’m so happy he got a goal. We have enough quality. It has been a frustrating season but with the boys we have and the management, then we are going to be all right.”
