If it wasn’t for the form of Gillespie, the Northern Irishman would likely be the club’s number one. It’s a boost nonetheless for Stephen Robinson as both stoppers’ contracts were due to run out in the summer.
Carson has penned his deal which will delight Robinson following comments that he’d like to get deals over the line for both his fellow countryman and Gillespie. There was also some interest from Livingston, but the Well have fended it off.
