Murray Davidson reminisces back to St Johnstone's 5-1 win against Aberdeen and hopes current squad find clinical edge

Murray Davidson is hoping St Johnstone can find their clinical edge at Pittodrie - just like the team of October 2015.

The midfielder, who retired earlier this year, played the full game as Saints stunned the Dons in the north east to win 5-1.

“We were like ‘what is he moaning at?’ We were 3-1 up at Pittodrie.

“He went mental but we came out the second half, scored two goals and it was game over so whatever he said worked.

“Another memory was when we were 5-1 up and Macca had just scored his second.

“I remember we were all joking walking back for kick-off saying that we’ll definitely get a point now. The game just petered out from there.”

“But that seemed a one off and one of those games where everything we hit went in.

“It was a brilliant result and you don’t get them often because it’s never an easy place to go.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re on a good run or a bad run, you need to be clinical.
