St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin shares relief as Richard Tait head knock not as serious as first feared

Saints boss Jim Goodwin revealed his relief that defender Richard Tait looks to have not suffered any serious repercussions from his clash with Killie keeper Danny Rogers.

The St Mirren full-back was forced off in the first half after the goalie clattered into him while clearing a cross, with the 31-year-old requiring lengthy treatment on the frosty pitch.

Goodwin believes the former Motherwell man recovered well but insists the club will follow every rule to ensure it’s safe for him to return to action.

He said: “Richard took a sore one and he will have a slight concussion I would imagine.

“We will manage that over the next few days and follow the correct protocol. He is okay and he is nice and bright in there.

“The surface was difficult, so both sets of players deserve great credit as the game was touch and go.

“On the balance, Killie were better in the first half, we were better in the second.

“Neither keeper had a lot to do and a point was probably fair. This is a difficult venue so we are delighted with that.”
