During the recent fixtures, injuries plagued the squad, putting added pressure on Mehmet to deliver. His performance against Queen of the South showcased his capabilities, he recorded an impressive ten saves, keeping the score to a 1-1 draw. The South Stand reverberated with chants; Mehmet truly is a fortress in goal.
