Just want to wish the Paisley Saints all the very best for their Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers this weekend and I would love to see them emulate the success of 1987 helped by Captain Billy Abercromby.

The last St Mirren captain to lift the Scottish Cup launched his autobiography on Wednesday and hopes it could save others from suffering the way he has.

Billy Abercromby’s warts-and-all story reveals how he has been to hell and back.

In the book “Aber’s Gonnae Get Ye” he tells of his journey from being a Scottish Cup winner in 1987 to alcoholic, then battling back to sobriety and a new life. see the bbc website for more information
