'We have to keep momentum going' - McLeish excited for first home game

St Mirren manager Craig McLeish is excited for the first competitive home match of the season after a productive start to the Premier Sports Cup. The Buddies have won 4-0 at both Dumbarton and Cove Rangers in the competition's group stage and now host East Kilbride as they try to make it three successive victories. League 1 East Kilbride - promoted in the past two seasons - have two wins from their three outings so far. McLeish praised the St Mirren supporters who made the trip to Aberdeen on Saturday and is hoping to see plenty more on Tuesday evening. "Delighted to see so many people up there," McLeish told club media. "Nice away day for them as well, it's just a shame that sun wasn't out for them too, but their support means everything to us. "It's great at this stage of the season to have so many people up there. "And the fact that we can put on good performances, leave them going down the road with another 4-0 win, I can't wait to Tuesday night and see everyone back at the stadium. "We're really looking forward to that and hope everyone's out in their numbers to support the group. "Even just being down seeing the pitch, the pitch looks magnificent. The guys down there have done a lot of good work. "It will be a really good game. East Kilbride will play some really good football as well. "I'm looking forward to it and we just have to keep the momentum going." [BBC]
