Craig McLeish has told St Mirren he wants to become permanent manager after leading the club to Premiership survival.
The interim boss took over after Stephen Robinson’s sudden exit to Aberdeen and guided the club to safety after a nerve-shredding play-off win over Partick Thistle.
He told Sky Sports: “I don’t know, I don’t think about it too much. Do I want the job? Absolutely. I think everyone knows that by now.
“But look. Whatever the club decide to do I’m fine with. I can’t control those things, I can’t worry about them. I stepped in at a difficult moment for the club.
“I did everything I could to make sure we stayed in the league. We’ve achieved that. That was the remit when I got the role.
“It would have been nicer to avoid this type of play-off. But I’ve loved every minute of it.
“The players have been brilliant with me throughout the full thing. Whatever the club decides to do, that’s up to them”
