St Mirren midfielder Killian Phillips wants to redeem himself in Sunday's game against Celtic having had a painful experience against the same opposition last season.

The 22-year-old - who signed for the Buddies from Crystal Palace on Wednesday - spent last season on loan with Aberdeen and had a penalty saved in the Scottish Cup semi-final shootout defeat at Hampden against the Parkhead side.

This weekend the midfielder comes up against Celtic once again, this time in the Scottish Premiership.

"It was tough," he said, when asked about his penalty miss.

"It was probably the worst I ever felt on a football pitch but the type of person I am, it is sore in the morning but after that you can’t really dwell on stuff like that.

"The best way is to move on. The world keeps spinning no matter what.

"It was tough at the time and it stung for a couple of days but you have to move on.

"No one wants to miss but at the end of the day someone has to miss and if there is another penalty shoot-out I will put my hand up to take another penalty."
