Quite what has changed his mind is unclear. Crilly handed in his request after being dropped for the games against Falkirk and Forfar, having previously played in the season opener against Ross County. He hasn't been seen in a Saints shirt since, not even in a reserve game.
Saints boss Gus MacPherson said that Crilly had made a written request to be taken off the list, which the club accepted, but stressed that he will need to show he deserves to be in the team before he will be picked.
