St Mirren FC welcomes Gary Peebles to board of directors

St Mirren Football Club is pleased to announce that Gary Peebles will join the club’s Board of Directors. 

Gary joins as the new Kibble representative, succeeding Jim Gillespie, who resigned earlier this month to become the CEO at Rangers.

A former Saints player, Gary signed for St Mirren in June 1984 before departing to join Partick Thistle in 1989. Gary would also have spells in Northern Ireland with the likes of Linfield, Portadown, Newry Town and Ards.

Gary joins the Board and adds a wealth of leadership experience, having served as Head of Operations at Kibble since 1995. In this role, he has managed services within Kibble’s open school and secure unit, while also being a trainer in Safe Crisis Management and Response Ability Pathways via the Reclaiming Youth Organisation. 

Speaking on his appointment, Gary said: "I am delighted to be given the opportunity to serve on the St Mirren board. I have been a supporter from a young age and was fortunate to have played for the club in the mid 1980s. 

This has been a fantastic period in the history of the club and I look forward to working alongside everyone to continue the great work that has been done both on and off the pitch."

St Mirren Chairman John Needham added: "We look forward to welcoming Gary to the St Mirren Board. Gary knows the club well as a lifelong St Mirren supporter and having played for the club in the 1980s."

Supporter Information

Minute's Applause

A minute's applause will take place prior to kick-off against Dundee as we pay our respects to Bobby Holmes who sadly passed away at the age of 93. 

Holmes played 116 times and scored 40 goals for Saints during the 1950s before having his career cut short through injury. He would return to St Mirren as physio between 1984 and 1990, a part of our famous 1987 Scottish Cup winning triumph.

Renfrewshire Foodbank Collection

Prior to Saturday's match against Dundee, Renfrewshire Foodbank will be outside of The SMiSA Stadium collecting donations.

Volunteers will be positioned outside each turnstile ready to accept donations by supporters of both St Mirren and Dundee, and we thank supporters for their generosity.

There will be volunteers with collection buckets stationed all around the stadium to accept cash donations if any supporters wish to support the charity that way.

Matchday Entertainment

We'll have a face painter and balloon artist in the Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand as well as our usual #Saints1stGoal, Bung a Baw and Spot the Ball challenges.

Travel

Supporters travelling to the match should be aware of ongoing major bridge refurbishment on the M8 at Junction 26 (Hillington Interchange) causing delays. As always, please plan your journey accordingly.

Visitor Information

  • Electronic Ticketing System

    At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.

    The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:

    • On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
    • Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
    • Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
    • Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.

    The whole process will only take a few seconds.

    Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

  • Street Parking on Matchday

    The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.

    Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.

    Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.

    St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.

  • Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day

    We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

    Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

Countdown to 150th Anniversary

The countdown has officially begun! 

We are proud to announce the launch of our 150th anniversary celebrations, marking a century and a half of football, community and the unwavering support from generations of Buddies.

On 6th October 1877, St Mirren Football Club played its first match, defeating Johnstone Britannia 1-0 at Shortroods. Work has now begun behind the scenes to make 2027 a year of celebrations worthy of our rich history. 

Our club has been shaped by generations of players, staff, and supporters all of whom have contributed to our club’s history and these celebrations will provide a platform to share memories and recognise all that makes our club special to us as supporters.  We are Paisley's team, and this celebration will mark and reflect the deep bond between club and community.

This anniversary is as much about looking back and honouring our past as it is about building our future. We want this to be a celebration for everyone associated with St Mirren - from our youngest supporters to those who have followed the club through thick and thin for decades.

This is our club, our history and our celebrations and there will be opportunities for everyone to be involved.  Over the coming weeks, the club is putting together a planning committee to bring the anniversary celebrations to life in 2027.  This committee needs representation from across all sections of our support. 

Keen to be involved? Register your interest HERE.

St Mirren FC Chairman, John Needham is looking forward to what lies ahead: "As we approach the 150th Anniversary of our great club in 2027 I'm delighted to see the preparations begin in earnest.

The Board of Directors are delighted to have Fraser Robertson leading the organisation of the celebrations alongside Keith and the Board. Currently Chief Financial Officer at Rabbie's Tours and a lifelong fan, Fraser brings great organisational expertise and a record of delivering significant projects. Watch out for the chance to get involved in the various initiatives."

One or two of the club's famous faces are also excited about what lies ahead…

Tony Fitzpatrick

It has been a great honour and privilege to be part of St Mirren Football club. The club has served the community for almost 150 years and I’m delighted to be taking part the celebrations.

"St Mirren has been the heartbeat of Paisley and Renfrewshire through the good and difficult times and continues to serve as a fan owned club. Long may this continue. COYS!" 

Steven Thompson

"It’s an absolute pleasure and honour to be involved in the clubs 150th anniversary celebrations. St Mirren has been such a big part of my life and my family’s too giving me some memories that will last forever.  

"Players come and go as I did as do managers and staff members who all contribute to making it such a special club but one thing that never leaves through generations is the supporters and they/we deserve to celebrate together our amazing club."

Keep an eye on our website and social channels for updates across the coming weeks and months. Together, we’ll make this a celebration to remember.

Fraser Taylor joins Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Fraser Taylor has joined Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old links up with Oisin Smyth at the William Hill Championship side for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign.

A St Mirren Youth Academy graduate, Fraser has made 13 appearances for Saints this season. Everyone at St Mirren wishes Fraser the best of luck during his time at Thistle.

Fraser Taylor in action for St Mirren

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "We feel like Fraser needs more game time and he needs to go and play at another good level.

"He did it last year with Arbroath in League One and he’s had opportunities here as well this season and played his part. But we feel that regular football will progress him even further.

"Going to a team like Partick Thistle who are challenging for promotion will be a fantastic opportunity for him.

"We’d like to keep him longer term. Fraser is probably a couple of years behind in his development in terms of physicality, but he is getting there.

"He’s got real talent, but he needs to go and play games. Sitting on the bench or coming on for 20 minutes isn’t the way to progress and we feel like this is the right thing to do."

Up Next: St Mirren v Dundee (31st Jan)

St Mirren return to The SMiSA Stadium this weekend as we close out January at home to Dundee.

Tickets

Season tickets and half-season tickets are valid for Saturday's match. Non-season ticket holders can buy tickets at stmirren.com/matchtickets

Dundee supporters can buy tickets online at stmirren.com/awaytickets.

Form

Saints go into Saturday's match having seen our fixture away to Dundee United postponed last weekend. Stephen Robinson's side were due to face the Arabs at Tannadice last Saturday, but a waterlogged pitch saw the game called off. A late Alex Gogic header saw us take a point away to Livingston in our last William Hill Premiership match.

The Buddies would leapfrog Dundee in the William Hill Premiership with a win on Saturday. Steven Pressley's men sit in ninth place, three points ahead of Saints. Dundee come into the match on the back of a 3-0 defeat away to Rangers on Sunday. That loss came after what had been a decent run of form for the Dark Blues having won four of their last five in all competitions. 

There have been two meetings between the two sides so far this season with each side picking up a win. Killian Phillips' first-half goal gave Saints a 1-0 win at The SMiSA Stadium in September. Mikael Mandron put the Buddies in front at Dens in November, but Dundee ended up with the points after winning 3-1.
