St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Cammy MacPherson has signed a first team contract until January 2019. 

The midfielder has been a regular with the development squad after progressing through the St Mirren Youth Academy. 

He made his first team debut in a 2-0 win over Dundee in the Scottish Cup in January 2017 before making his first start in the same competition against Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale in November. 

St Mirren's game on Saturday away to Falkirk marked the last game of the season, but also marked the end of some players' tenure with the club.

One player who will move on this summer that will remain in the hearts of St Mirren supporters, is striker John Sutton.

Speaking to Buddievision, Sutton spoke about how emotional he was feeling in his last game, as he got to run on to the park for one final time in St Mirren colours.

He said: "It's been four fantastic years in different ways. From promotion to staying up, and being part of that has just been incredible. But more than that, just coming in to work every day; the people at the club who cook the lunches, people who put things on for the kids etc.

"The fans have been fantastic, they've been with us everywhere, through thick and thin, through good times and bad.

"It's going to be a shame, but at the same time I'm looking forward to a new challenge somewhere. I just hope St Mirren keep going from strength to strength." 

Sutton returned to The Buddies in 2016 and played a vital role in helping the team avoid relegation to the third tier of Scottish football. He scored 13 goals during the 2016/17 campaign, but insists that he always believed the team were good enough to survive the drop. 

He continued: "Last season was strange, because Hibs were in the league and Dundee Utd were really strong. We felt we had a good chance with the calibre of players we had.

"But we just never got it together, and obviously we put ourselves in such a bad situation that people looked at it like an unbelievable escape. So we've just taken that momentum forward. 

"The young boys have come in and done brilliant. You don't even think they're young anymore - Morgy, Magennis, Bairdy - they're established players.

"Everyone has just done fantastic and it's a brilliant club to be at when things are going well. In fairness, it's not so bad when things are going badly, people still get behind you. It's been a fantastic place to play." 

The towering centre forward's first spell at the club started in 2005 when he was brought to the club by Gus MacPherson from Dundee, where he assisted the club to a Challenge Cup and League double. Now picking up his second league winners medal with The Saints he has firmly cemented himself as a club legend.   

He added: "I don't know about that, I don't think about that. I always think individual awards in football are funny, because it's a team game.

"In my first spell here, I think there was joke that Simon Lappin was getting me a move somewhere; the amount of balls he put on my head. You're reliant on service and you're reliant on the boys at the back.

 "The four years I've played with the team has been fantastic with what we've achieved. More than that, it's great to do it for the supporters out there.

"All the best for the future and hopefully you'll see St Mirren towards the top end of the Premier League and maybe picking up some silverware again."

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Stelios Demetriou, John Sutton, Gary Irvine, Massimo Donati, Josh Todd, Darryl Duffy, Darren Whyte and Nathan Flanagan will leave the club following the expiry of their contract, while Lewis Morgan, Mark Hill and Liam Smith will all return to their parent clubs as their loan deals come to an end. 

Jack Ross said: "I'd personally like to show my appreciation for the players' effort - not just during this season - but my tenure as a whole. I wish them all the best for the future. In terms of adding to the squad, the recruitment process is well underway and we hope to have some news on that front later this week." 

We can also confirm that Conor O'Keefe, Evan Horne, Andrew McDonald, Robbie Leitch, Dylan McKendry and Chris Henry will also depart from the St Mirren U20s.  

Jack Ross gives his thoughts on today's final game of the season, where The Saints lost 1-0 to Falkirk.

The curtain came down on St Mirren's season today, as they lost 1-0 to Falkirk for the second time in 11 days.

With both clubs' fate already decided for next season, there was nothing at stake in today's match; but the Paisley side were hoping to end an incredible season on a high, but it wasn't to be.

There was a nice reception before the game for Alex Smith, who Saints fans will know from the role he played in our 1987 Scottish Cup win. He received a standing ovation from both sets of fans, as he is set to retire from football.

St Mirren started the game very well, looking confident on the ball as they had their first chance of the game. Stelios Demetriou found himself in plenty of space on the left, as he drove in on goal and unleashed a wicked shot from 20 yards which was deflected behind by Falkirk keeper Robbie Mutch.

This strike on the sixth minute was the best chance both teams had the entire half, with most efforts coming from long range. Despite the lack of goal threat, there was still some nice football being played by both teams.

Late on in the first half, Louis Longridge picked up on a loose ball deep in Saints half and tried to manoeuvre his way into the box. The tricky winger was close to succeeding, but Mark Hill stayed with him the whole way and made a great tackle on the midfielder to clear the ball from danger.

Right on the stroke of half time The Buddies had a decent effort to put themselves in front. Myles Hippolyte, who caused their defence problems all day, burst through the centre of the park and slipped the ball forward to Gavin Reilly in the danger area. The ball was running away from goal though, so the team's top goalscorer didn't get a great connection as the ball was held comfortably by the Falkirk stopper. 

Half Time: Falkirk 0-0 St Mirren

The second half was a bit more livelier than the first, as Falkirk had a freekick on the edge of the box only one minute after the restart. It was a good effort from Joe McKee as it narrowly went over the crossbar, but Craig Samson appeared to have it covered anyway.

The home side had an excellent chance to put themselves ahead five minutes later. A ball from the right was floated to the back post where Craig Sibbald was standing alone and struck a fine volley on goal, only to be denied by a wonder save from Craig Samson.

Saints started to grow into the game though. On the 63rd minute Hippolyte waltzed past Falkirk's Jordan McGhee and delivered a great cross into the box which was cleared only as far as Morgan on the edge of the area. The winger tried a first time effort, but just never caught the ball correctly as he blazed it over the bar and into the crowd.

Reilly then had an effort from similar range eight minutes later. This time though Reilly found the target and it was in all the way, but a very smart save from Mutch managed to turn it away for a corner.

Another good chance for Saints fell on the 76th minute, when Hippolyte won a feekick on the left side of the box. Morgan stepped up to take it and nearly scored, when he decided to shoot instead of cross - which caught out the Falkirk keeper. It was a good, clean strike, but was just ever so slightly high of the goal, as The Buddies were getting closer and closer.

St Mirren's best chance of the game came on the 84th minute though, as Morgan broke away from the Falkirk defence near the halfway line and like only he can, pulled away from them with ease. He was clean through on goal, with only the goalkeeper to beat, but his effort was somehow blocked by Robbie Mutch.

The team were left to rue their chances two minutes later, when Ryan Blair, having only been on the park for three minutes, unleashed an unstoppable strike that struck Samson's left post and went in to send the Bairns fans wild. 

The game ended 1-0 to Falkirk as The Saints were left gutted after another late winner from Paul Hartley's team. The Paisley faithful didn't care though, as they rounded off one of the most successful season's in the club's history.

St Mirren's season draws to a close tomorrow afternoon as the champions travel to the Falkirk Stadium.

Ironically, it was against Falkirk that the Buddies' title winning season kicked off with a 3-1 win over the Bairns on opening day at the Paisley 2021 Stadium in August. Nathan Austin had given the visitors an early lead, but goals from Stelios Demetriou, Cammy Smith and Gavin Reilly saw Saints win on opening day for the first time since 2006.

It's been a disappointing season for Falkirk who will end the season in seventh place. The Bairns were expected to challenge for the title, but an early season slump saw Peter Houston leave the club and replaced by Paul Hartley.  

Our only to the Falkirk Stadium this season so far came way back in October when the Buddies were held to a 0-0 draw despite Cammy Smith having a good chance right at the death to steal all three points. 

Paul Hartley's side made their final trip to Paisley just over a week ago where they picked up all three points to secure their Championship status. Saints had gone 1-0 in front thanks to ex-Falkirk forward Myles Hippolyte's early second half penalty. But strikes from Joe McKee and Craig Sibbald in the last eight minutes of the match saw the visitors leave with the points. 

Both sides will look to close the season on a high with a win, but it's sure to be a party for the travelling Saints fans tomorrow regardless of the result as the will show their support for the champions one last time before the season ends. There will also be a send-off for Falkirk technical director Alex Smith who takes in his last match before heading off to Australia for his retirement. Smith is certain to receive a great reception from both supports having been Saints' 1987 Scottish Cup winning manager. 

Captain Stephen McGinn is out due to suspension, while Adam Eckersley will miss out again for the Buddies due to injury.
