Dimitar Mitov named in SPFL Team of the Week

Our goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov has been named in the final SPFL Team of the Week of the season.

The Bulgarian shot stopper, like he has done all season, pulled off a string of top saves as we retained our Scottish Premiership status with victory over Motherwell on Sunday.

Dimi also produced the goods to deny Theo Bair a goal from the penalty spot in what was a fine performance from the 27-year-old.

Speaking after the game, Dimi said: “We can talk about the penalty save but the blocks the boys put in are as good as goals. It is about the whole unit at the back – they have been amazing.

“The passion of the boys was shown when we were making blocks and everyone was celebrating together.

“I wanted to be safe much earlier in the season but, doing it in this way, gave that happy moment for the fans.

“They deserved it because they have travelled home and away, supporting us in difficult times. Those celebrations were for them.”

On his performances across the full season, he added: “I have just played as well as I can. The hardest thing in football is being consistent with your performances every week.

“Being consistent is what we talk about with the goalkeepers. Every single game it is about high standards. That is how you push forward.”
