During the Easter holidays, hundreds of kids across Renfrewshire have enjoyed free school holiday activity camps.

The Street Stuff multi-sports and dance camps - provided by St Mirren Football Club and Renfrewshire Council's Community Learning and Development team - have been fully booked during the two-week break, with around 750 places taken each week.

The camps located in Ferguslie, Foxbar, Gallowhill, Johnstone, Linwood and Renfrew were open to anyone aged five to 14. Activities available included football, basketball, hand ball, hockey, badminton, tennis, dance and more.

Everyone who attended got a free healthy lunch.

Councillor Marie McGurk, convener of the Council's Communities and Housing Policy Board, visited the camp in Linwood. She said: "Seeing children and young people have a great time during the school holidays is what the holiday period is all about. By putting on these activities, we are supporting children and young people to have a fun break from school."

In addition to the school holiday camps, the award-winning Street Stuff programme provides year-round free multi-sport, gaming and educational activities to young people aged eight to 16 during the evening. Activities include football, basketball and dance, with games consoles, tablets and WiFi available within the Youth Bus.

Cllr McGurk added: "Street Stuff is well established within our communities, with the weekly activities supporting children and young people's wellbeing. The education activities support local issues and also create pathways for young people into employment through training and volunteering, with many young people who attended the activities going on to work as coaches within Street Stuff and our partners."

We got beat by quality. I thought first-half we were absolutely superb. For me there are positives."

The manager gave his thoughts after our 3-0 loss away to Celtic in the cinch Premiership. 

Three second-half goals saw Saints defeated 3-0 at Celtic Park.

After an even first 45 finished goalless, Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah netted after the interval to secure the points for Brendan Rodgers' side. 

There were two changes for the Buddies from the side that lost to Hearts last week. Captain Mark O'Hara returned to the midfield alongside Keanu Baccus who also started. Hyeokkyu Kwon was unable to play against his parent club so he dropped out of the squad while Mikael Mandron dropped to the bench. Toyosi Olusanya led the line with Greg Kiltie playing just off him. 

Saints were forced into an early change when Elvis Bwomono has to be subbed off on 23 minutes. The wing-back had tried to play on after a clash with Hyunjun Yang but a few minutes afterwards realised he couldn't continue and was replaced by Ryan Strain. The Australian went into the book not long after his introduction following a foul on Yang. 

The Buddies had a big opportunity to hit the front on 26 minutes when Olusanya played a dangerous low ball in from the right that found Kiltie. But the forward couldn't get the connection required to guide it beyond Joe Hart. The hosts then broke up the park with Matt O'Riley seeing an effort blocked inside the box.

Baccus almost got himself on the end of a Tanser cross with 10 minutes of the first-half remaining, but Celtic goalkeeper Hart managed to get in ahead of the midfielder to punch clear. Two minutes later it was Baccus' countryman Strain who had a decent chance to put Saints in-front when Kiltie's cross from the left drifted all the way to the far end of box where Strain had time to take a touch and hit only for the effort to be cleared by Maik Nawrocki.

Saints made another change at the break as Jaden Brown came on for Tanser. Stephen Robinson was forced into a THIRD change on 50 minutes when Kiltie could no longer continue after colliding with Cameron Carter-Vickers and he was replaced by Lewis Jamieson.

The home side would take the lead on 52 minutes when Hatate fired them in front. The Japanese midfielder had too much space to run on to an Alastair Johnston pass and lashed a quality finish into the top corner with the outside of his foot to break the deadlock. The hosts had a good chance to double that advantage just two minutes later but Yang fluffed his lines from close range and Saints cleared.

After a period of pressure, Saints looked for a way back into the match with Baccus' low ball finding substitute Jamieson in the Celtic box but it was blocked by Nawrocki before Tomoki Iwata managed to launch clear. Just a minute later Kyogo made it 2-0 to Celtic when he got his head on to a Johnston cross and bulleted home from close range. 

Celtic could have added a third before the eventually did in the closing stages. Hemming made a good block at his near post to deny Hatate on 66 minutes before a stunning save to turn substitute Luis Palma's effort over on 78 minutes. 

But the hosts would round off the afternoon with a third in the closing minutes of normal time when substitute Adam Idah netted. Hemming saved O'Riley's low strike after the Denmark international had been teed up by Palma, but the ball spun up in the air for Idah to nod into the net despite Hemming's best efforts to keep the ball out. 

Saints will return to league action in a fortnight - our opponents yet to be determined - with the top-six split fixtures due to be announced in the coming days.

Celtic have won the three meetings between the sides in all competitions this season.

Celtic won 3-0 at The SMiSA Stadium in January in cinch Premiership action and followed it up with a 2-0 win in the Scottish Cup in February.

Saints defeated Celtic at The SMiSA Stadium last season with Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga scoring in a 2-0 victory. The Buddies also took a point on our visit to Celtic Park in May 2023 with a Curtis Main double seeing us draw 2-2.

You generously made sure all children received a visit from the Easter bunny and enjoyed chocolate eggs by donating to our appeal in partnership with Home-Start.

The club put an appeal out to fans to donate Easter eggs for children to enjoy. The charitable effort was in partnership with Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde who act as a support network to families with children under the age of five. 

Thanks to your generosity, Home-Start had even more Easter Eggs to share! Our fans never fail to amaze us in thinking of others.

St Mirren is focused on becoming the best community centred development football club in Scotland. We want to enrich the lives of those who live in the area and our strategic partnership with Home-Start is one of ways we are striving to make a difference. By joining us in our efforts to help others, you are bringing our mission to life!

Keith Lasley, Chief Operating Officer understands the need for families to have somewhere to turn to for extra support: "The Easter holidays can be a fantastic time for families to spend time together, however, like any occasion, it can bring extra demands to people. We were determined to be a helping hand to Home-Start with our fans and players gifting Easter eggs to make sure all children enjoyed themselves."

"We work closely alongside Home-Start all year-round. When raising a family, different challenges can arise and the charity makes sure essential support is always available and as the local football club, we are determined to be a valuable extension of that support network."
