St Mirren defender Alex Gogic has condemned the abuse teammate Ryan Mullen received from fans after the team's 6-2 Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Celtic. Mullen made a mistake leading to Celtic's opening goal and then went off injured after 15 minutes, forcing 17-year-old Grant Tamosevicius onto the pitch for his debut. Gogic, a Cyprus international, called the abuse 'disgraceful' and 'disgusting', defending Mullen as a 'top goalkeeper' who gives everything.
