Richard Tait is raring to go for the second half of the season after the Saints returned from the winter break.

The Buddies kick off the next part of the campaign with a trip to Tannadice to face Dundee United on Tuesday - the first of seven games in 23 days. 

Saints have drawn more matches than any side in the cinch Premiership and Richard says the aim will be to turn those draws into wins when the season resumes. 

It's good to be back to training and back to business," the defender said. 

"At the end of the day that's what we're here for - to play football - so I'm looking forward to the games starting next Tuesday.

"It's important you get a break. It recharges the batteries and you can reset your mindset.

"If we are honest with ourselves in the first part of the season we should have picked up more points than we did. We had a lot of draws so that'll be an aim in the back-end of the season - to turn those draws into victories and get three points."

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that John Sutton will be inducted into the St Mirren Hall of Fame at our Player of the Year Awards Dinner in May.

The former Saints striker scored 45 goals in 144 appearances across two spells in Paisley.

Initially joining the club from Millwall in August 2005, the Englishman played an integral part in our double winning season of 2005/06 – scoring the winner against Hamilton Academical in the Challenge Cup Final as well as netting 14 league goals on our way to winning the old First Division.

Sutton also played a vital role in the club staying in the top-flight the following season - scoring 11 league goals - including two in our famous win over Motherwell at Fir Park in May 2007 as Saints came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and ensure our survival.

The forward would depart in the summer of 2007 to join English side Wycombe Wanderers, but returned to Paisley for a second time in June 2016.

It was another memorable spell for Sutton as he finished top scorer when Saints completed the 'great escape' in 2016/17 before playing his part in our Championship winning side the following season.

John Sutton celebrates after scoring the winner as Saints came from 2-0 down to beat Motherwell 3-2 at Fir Park in 2007.
