Saints were dealt a blow today when star striker Mixu Paatelainen underwent an operation on his knee. The operation was needed to see just how bad the damage is after he limped off against Ross County on Saturday.

Hopefully the damage will be minimal and Mixu will only miss a few a few games at the most, however at the moment it doesn't look good. The big Finn has been in superb form since signing from St. johnstone in the summer, and to lose him now would be a major blow.

Get well soon Mixu.
