Mikulic's mind on more goals & more glory for St Johnstone

Bozo Mikulic was the hero for St Johnstone on Saturday. Just don't tell him that.

The towering defender produced a finish many strikers would be chuffed with to clinch a potentially pivotal win for the Perth Saints.

Two minutes after Taylor Steven grabbed his first goal for the club, the 27-year-old matched the youngster's feat to cap an incredible turnaround against Motherwell.

Though his team-mates all followed and celebrated with him, the Croat was quick to play down his role and said post-match: "we're all heroes".

"I'm not a hero, all guys are heroes, so we are here together on the pitch, 11 players plus the bench and the whole stadium supporting us for 90 minutes and I'm happy just about to win," he told BBC Scotland.

"I hope it's not the last goal, I want to be even more dangerous in the opponents box, so I will improve that, that I'm more dangerous, that I score maybe even more goals."

Despite the seismic win, Mikulic insists no-one at the club is getting too ahead of themselves.

"It was nice, it was good, but we know that still we are bottom of the table, so we need to keep working hard and we will never give up and we hope in the end that we will achieve our goals," he added.

"I think we have 15 or 14 more games, so of course we still believe that we can stay in the league."

As the race for survival continues, though, will the big defender be offering his services up top?

"If needed, yeah, why not? But of course I'm a defender, I need to defend my goal and I'm the same happy when we don't concede goals, so that's my job."
