Wright buoyed by 'super' St Johnstone showing

St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright was absolutely delighted with his side's performance in Saturday's 4-0 home win over Ross County.

Nigel Hasselbaink, David Wotherspoon, Stevie May and Dave Mackay all scored as the Saints moved to second on the Scottish Premier League table, with the prolific outing thrilling the manager.

"It was super," he said. "Since I've been at the club it's probably been the best performance from start to finish.

"We totally dominated and controlled the game. The number of chances we created caused them problems all day.

"They've set the standard. We are good defensively and we made it really difficult for them when they did have the ball, which wasn't very often."

St Johnstone now sit two points behind league leaders Inverness Caledonian Thistle ahead of next weekend's trip to Dundee United.
