St Mirren boss Gary Teale has admitted that his side are on the verge of relegation following their 5-0 thrashing by Motherwell.

The Saints sit 10 points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table after being dismantled at Fir Park Stadium last night.

When asked if his team are good enough to stay in the top flight, Teale told Sky Sports News: "On the back of that, no. It was always going to be a difficult task and I've said that from the very beginning, and that we have to give our all.

"It's been the story of our season, the silly goals that we lose and not really having a goal threat at the other end of the pitch, and ultimately that's what's putting us in the position that we are.

"It's been an extremely disappointing season for everyone associated with the club, and we just need to make sure that we can look ourselves in the mirror and with six games to go, go and show something to the fans that we are hurting and that it does mean something to us if the club goes down."

St Mirren are back in action on April 13 when they host Ross County.
