Gregor Buchanan has thanked the travelling fans on Saturday for their support of the team and asked them to keep it coming.
The defender was full of praise for the hardy section of St Mirren supporters who travelled through to Livingston last weekend to cheer the team on as the Buddies picked up another three points in the Ladbrokes Championship.
And the 27 year-old was quick to highlight just how important that kind of backing is to the side.
Speaking to stmirren.com after Saturday's win, Buchanan said: "For 2000 of them to go to Morton and then back us on Saturday is magnificent.
There was a section of the crowd that sang for the entire game.
"They maybe don't realise how good it is for the players, but it really spurs us on.
"I can't thank them enough and hopefully they keep cheering us on."
Injuries and suspension meant Buchanan was Saints' only recognised centre-half in the win over the Lions.
And the job wasn't made any easier after the first half red card received by Gary Irvine saw Saints reduced to ten men.
While the defender admitted it was tough to deal with that setback initially, they soon got to grips with their new shape and earned the win.
He said: "It was a wee bit difficult after the sending off and there was a wee ten minute spell where we were trying to get everything organised.
"It was important to keep it tight as you could still lose the game in that ten minutes. But after that I thought we defended really well on the day.
"We had a good organised shape and we punished them on the break.
"Overall it was a great victory and I was happy with how everything went.
"Obviously there were difficult circumstances with me being the only available centre-half. But I knew what my job was and it was an opportunity for me to force myself into the team.
"I knew on the Friday I just had to go and do the business and I feel like I did that.
"I think the whole team deserves plaudits for the way we went about our business."
