St Mirren surge to top of Scottish Premiership after two clean-sheet wins

St Mirren started the new Scottish Premiership season strongly, securing wins against Falkirk and St Johnstone while keeping a clean sheet in each match, which places them at the top of the table. Craig McLeish emphasized a return to basics and using the previous season's relegation play-off stress as fuel for the squad. He praised the team's energy, fitness and relentless attitude, noting the importance of maintaining high standards.

Goalkeeper Jacob Chapman credited his early penalty save and the defensive commitment of teammates, including Alex Gogic, for setting the tone. Midfielder Killian Phillips has been pivotal, scoring all three of the team's league goals and approaching his 100th appearance for the club. The early success contrasts sharply with last term's near-relegation struggle, suggesting a potential shift back toward the club's more competitive recent form.
