St Mirren deny talk of player unrest over bonuses

St Mirren's board of directors have denied the club's players had demanded showdown talks over their bonuses this season after reaching the Co-operative Insurance Cup final.

It has been claimed players were awarded £1,000 each for reaching the club's first domestic final for 23 years, £600 less than for their quarter-final victory.

It has also been suggested players locked the dressing room door after the semi-final win to prevent directors joining in any celebrations.

The club confirmed on Monday talks over bonuses had taken place prior to the match at Fir Park, but insisted there had been no request for a further meeting since.

A statement on the club's official website read: "The board of directors met a couple of weeks ago with representatives of the players and the manager.

"At this point the bonuses for the Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final and Scottish Cup fifth-round matches were discussed.

"To date the board have had no request for any further meetings with the players."
