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

The St Mirren Youth Academy made his debut for Saints in 2016 at 17-years-old before winning a move to English Championship side Derby County in 2017. 

McAllister returned to St Mirren for a loan spell in January 2019 and returned to the club on a permanent basis in August 2019. 

Everyone at St Mirren wishes Kyle all the best in his time at Partick.

St Mirren will be looking to keep up their winning run when Motherwell visit the SMiSA Stadium on Tuesday night.

Jim Goodwin's men have won their first three games of 2022 - defeating Aberdeen, Ayr United and Dundee United. 

The Buddies were due to face Dundee at the Kilmac Stadium on Saturday, but the match was postponed due high winds causing stadium safety issues.

Motherwell come into Tuesday's match looking for their first cinch Premiership win of 2022. The Steelmen were defeated 2-0 by Hearts on Saturday. That came after a 0-0 draw with Hibernian at Fir Park and a 3-1 loss to Ross County in Dingwall.

Graham Alexander's side did, however, beat Morton in extra-time to progress to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup.

Saints host Motherwell for the first time this season. 

The only meeting between the two so far this season took place at Fir Park in October. The Buddies came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 thanks to a double from Eamonn Brophy.

Neither side could be separated in both of Motherwell's visits to the SMiSA Stadium last season with the games finishing 1-1 and 0-0.

Saints last win against the Steelmen was in December 2020 when Jim Goodwin's men won 1-0 at Fir Park.

The officials

Euan Anderson is the referee on Tuesday night. He's assisted by Drew Kirkland and Colin Drummond. Matthew MacDermid is the fourth official. 

Today's match against Dundee has been postponed due to the effects of Storm Malik.

There have been stadium safety issues at the Kilmac Stadium caused by the high winds. 

Details on rearranged fixtures and ticket arrangements will be announced in due course. 

Saints boss Jim Goodwin believes his side will have to be at it if they want to keep up their winning run when they face Dundee in the cinch Premiership.

The Buddies head to the Kilmac Stadium in good spirit having won all three matches since returning from the winter break. 

And despite Dundee being on a run of seven games without a win, the manager won't be taking tomorrow's match for granted. 

 Dundee is an extremely difficult fixture, they are fighting for their lives," the manager told the press. 

"They beat us here [The SMiSA Stadium] 1-0 last time out and we had a very close game on the first day of the season so we have to be at our best.

"We said after the Aberdeen game that winning breeds confidence. We’ve got a nice little bit of momentum now at the moment with three wins on the spin.

"It’s been hard work and discipline first and foremost, with some very good goals along the way as well. There’s going to be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between now and the end of the season.

"Last season I probably spoke too much about targets and where we wanted to be,” Goodwin added.

"I’m not taking away from the fact that we still want top six, we still want to be in the mix for that. But the message for the players after the break was let’s just take it one game at a time and that’s what we are doing now."

Supporter safety is a key priority for all clubs and we at St Mirren Football Club are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that the match day experience is safe and enjoyable.

One of the most dangerous things we have to deal with is pyrotechnic articles such as smoke bombs and flares in the stadium and we'd ask that you assist us to look after you by not bringing such articles with you to matches. These articles can cause severe burns, damage to hearing or breathing difficulties and their use is especially distressing for groups such as small children and those who can't easily move away when pyrotechnics are activated.

Experience shows that when a pyrotechnic is activated in a crowd there is often a movement away from the immediate area which can cause panic and disorientation and which creates a risk of slips and trips or crushing for those nearby.

Please be in no doubt that these articles are unpleasant and potentially life-threatening to be around - they are also illegal at football matches - and being caught with them will result in exclusion from The SMISA Stadium and a possible criminal conviction as well as potential financial penalties for the club.

St Mirren Football Club can tonight announce that Chief Executive Tony Fitzpatrick will retire from his position on March 31st 2022.

Tony retires after a distinguished career at St Mirren as a player, manager and Chief Executive. He will, however, remain at the club in an ambassador role.

Tony commented: "It has been a real privilege to be involved at this wonderful club. When I returned to St Mirren in 2016 it was always my plan to stay here until retirement age and build upon the work done by my predecessor Brian Caldwell and the former board.

"It’s been a rollercoaster ride from narrowly avoiding relegation to the third tier of Scottish football to our current position in the cinch Premiership.

"The last two years in particular have been an incredibly difficult time for us all, but we have made great strides at the club. Last season we reached the semi-finals of both the League and Scottish Cups for the first time since 1981/82 as well as achieving our highest top-flight league position since 1989.

"Fan ownership was achieved five years ahead of schedule with SMiSA taking over the majority shareholding on the club in July.

"We have also seen a number of academy players make their debuts for St Mirren with some moving on to big opportunities across the world and managed to attain Elite level status for the academy over the last year.

"I would like to thank the players and staff at the club over the past number of years who have worked tirelessly to try and give you a club to be proud of. I would also like to pay a special tribute to the supporters who are the lifeblood of St Mirren. The journey we have been on over the last six years has been truly incredible and could not have been achieved without your support.

"While I look forward to what retirement has in store, I will still be around the SMiSA Stadium to support the team. Come on Ye Saints!"

The games keep on coming thick and fast with Dundee next up for St Mirren in the cinch Premiership.

Jim Goodwin's men will be looking to keep up the momentum they have built with three wins from three since returning from the winter break. Connor Ronan's second-half goal was enough to see Saints defeat Aberdeen on Tuesday night following wins over Ayr United in the Scottish Cup and Dundee United in the league.

Dundee arrested their run of defeats with a 0-0 draw against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday. James McPake's side had lost their previous six league encounters with their last league win coming against the Perth Saints on December 1st.

Saints travel to the Kilmac Stadium for the first time since the opening day of the season. Goals from Eamonn Brophy and Jamie McGrath twice had the Buddies ahead but an own goal followed by a Jason Cummings strike saw the points shared in a 2-2 draw. 

Dundee were victorious when they visited the SMiSA Stadium in October. Max Anderson scored the game's only goal for the Dark Blues. 

Saints are unbeaten in their last five trips to the Kilmac Stadium - a run stretching back to 2013.

The officials

The referee on Saturday is Kevin Clancy. He'll be assisted by Craig Ferguson and Gary Hilland. Chris Fordyce is the fourth official. 

Jim Goodwin reflected on St Mirren's win over Aberdeen in the cinch Premiership as his side made it three wins from three in 2022. 

I thought the players were outstanding. Every single one of them stuck to the game plan and did the job that was asked of them."
