Evan Mooney’s First Senior Goal for St Mirren Hailed as ‘a Dream Come True’

Evan Mooney, who marked his 17th birthday on Wednesday, registered his inaugural senior goal for St Mirren during their 3-2 triumph over St Johnstone. Stephen Robinson’s squad was trailing 2-1 at McDiarmid Park when Mooney, in only his second senior appearance, volleyed in the equaliser. “I am delighted,” the winger commented. “It all came at me so fast, I’m just buzzing. It’s only my second appearance for the club, being so young I’ve had to be patient and take my chance when it comes. The gaffer said when I came on just have an impact and try and affect the game and I think all the subs did that. It stands me in good stead going forward. I’ll just keep working hard, pushing and keep both feet on the ground. It’s a dream come true.”
