'It's magnificent' - Thompson on St Mirren's heroic day

Steven Thompson was St Mirren's League Cup hero on the only other time they won the trophy.

This time, he was on BBC Radio Scotland watching his boyhood club replicate the feat 12 years on, and it's clear he was feeling it.

"It's very nostalgic. Although it was 12 or 13 years ago, I was down there doing the same thing with my kids when they were wee," he said.

"You can't describe the feeling, it's just magnificent.

"For the manager - three consecutive top six finishes and now lifting a trophy, he'll get the freedom of the town.

"St Mirren needed to get everything right - and they did that. They should be so proud of how they played as a team and how they, individually, played to their maximum."
