St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Nathan Flanagan has joined Elgin City on an emergency loan until the end of the season. 

The 20 year-old spent the first part of the season on loan to League One side East Fife before being recalled in January. 

All at St Mirren wish Nathan the best on his loan move.

We can also confirm that Darryl Duffy’s loan at Airdrieonians has been terminated due to injury.

Darryl scored four goals for the Diamonds after joining them on loan in January. 

During the January transfer window a number of players moved out on loan to play regular football. Here's a look at how some of them got on last weekend. 

Josh Todd made his third appearance for Queen of the South after helping the Doonhamers to a win and a draw against Dundee United and Livingston in recent weeks. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes on Saturday but couldn't help prevent the Dumfries side from losing 3-1 away to Dunfermline.

Jordan Kirkpatrick was at the double for Jim Goodwin's Alloa as they defeated nearest rivals Arbroath 3-2 at the Indodrill Stadium. The Wasps had fallen 2-0 behind but completed the comeback with Kirkpatrick scoring the winner to move ahead of Arbroath into third place and all but seal a promotion play-off place.

Darren Whyte played the full 90 minutes for Forfar as they fell to a 2-0 loss away to Stranraer. The Loons are still four points ahead of bottom two sides Queens Park and Albion Rovers.

Robbie Leitch was an unused substitute as Queens Park picked up a point at home to Airdrieonians to move level on points with Albion Rovers. Darryl Duffy, who had been at Airdrieonians, has returned to St Mirren after an injury cut short his spell at the Diamonds. 

In League Two, Nathan Flanagan - who completed an emergency loan move to Elgin City on Friday - made it a goalscoring start with City as he opened the scoring in their 3-0 win over Stirling Albion. Andrew McDonald also featured for City as a second half substitute. The win saw Elgin move up into fourth place at the expense of Danny Lennon's Clyde. 

Evan Horne played the full match for Annan Athletic as they drew 0-0 with ninth place Berwick Rangers at Galabank. 

Jack Ross gives his thoughts on today's 2-2 draw with Inverness Caley Thistle at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

The Buddies were 2-0 up thanks to goals from Harry Davis and Lewis Morgan, but had to settle for a point in the end.

St Mirren had to settle for a point away to Inverness this afternoon despite being 2-0 in front.

The Buddies took a fourth minute lead when Harry Davis converted from the penalty spot. The defender missed the chance to double Saints’ lead before the interval when he saw another spot kick saved. 

Lewis Morgan scored with less than 20 minutes to go to give the Buddies a two goal advantage, but two goals in three minutes saw the hosts grab a share of the spoils at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

Danny Mullen was hauled to the ground by Coll Donaldson with just three minutes on the clock. There was no denying it was a penalty with Alan Newlands pointing to the spot. Harry Davis stepped up and coolly slotted the ball low into the far left corner beyond Mark Ridgers.

Saints were playing like a team possessed in the early stages with Mullen causing the Inverness defence all sorts of problems in the opening 10 minutes. He had another claim for a penalty when he fell in the box on nine minutes but the referee waved play on. 

Liam Smith was unlucky not to make it 2-0 on 13 minutes. The full back charged on to a short corner, cut inside before driving an effort towards the far top corner. Ex-St Mirren goalkeeper Mark Ridgers made a great save to deny the loanee his third St Mirren goal.

Ridgers made another excellent stop on 28 minutes - this time to deny Lewis Morgan. The winger was found in acres of space on the left and smashed a shot at the near post with Ridgers tipping wide.

The Inverness stopper's day wasn't about to get any easier with the keeper forced into three vitals saves in a short space of time five minutes before half time. He saved a low shot from Morgan giving St Mirren a corner. Danny Mullen got on the end of it with Ridgers clawing away the forward's header.The ball was curled back into the box where Davis was pushed to the ground and Saints were given a second penalty of the match. The defender stepped up to take but couldn't add to his earlier goal with Ridgers denying the attempt with his trailing foot.

Half Time: Inverness 0-1 St Mirren

The opening 10 minutes of the second half were a quiet affair but it was stirred into life on 57 minutes when - from 25 yards out - Iain Vigurs curled the ball towards the top left corner. It looked certain to nestle into the postage stamp but crashed off the bar and went over.

Inverness had an appeal for a penalty waved away with Aaron Doran picking up a yellow card for simulation after he fell inside the box under pressure from Liam Smith just after the hour.

Mark Ridgers had been in fine form all afternoon and was at it once again when he made a brilliant stop to deny Lewis Morgan on 69 minutes. 

But Inverness couldn't get the ball clear and it was worked back to Morgan on the left who was brought down right on the edge of the area to win Saints a free kick. Morgan who stepped up to take and he gave Ridgers no chance with this one as he curled it into the far corner and into the back of the net via the aid of the post. It was the forward's fourth goal in three games and it seemed like Saints were on their way to picking up all three points, but Inverness had other ideas.

They pulled a goal back through captain Gary Warren who got ahead of the St Mirren defence to head home from a corner kick on 78 minutes. Their tails were up and just three minutes later they had a leveller. The Caley Jags won a free kick around 25 yards from goal on the left side. Polworth was the man for it and he drilled it into the far right corner to earn a point for the hosts.

St Mirren make the trip up to the Highlands tomorrow to face IRN-BRU Cup winners Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. 

The Buddies took a step closer to title glory with an emphatic 5-0 win over Dumbarton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on Tuesday night. A double from Lewis Morgan along with goals from Cammy Smith, Danny Mullen and Gavin Reilly saw Saints see off the Sons in convincing fashion to make it four wins on the spin and move to within eight points of winning the Ladbrokes Championship. 

Meanwhile, Inverness, fresh from defeating Dumbarton in the IRN-BRU Cup final last weekend, come into tomorrow's match on the back of a 1-0 win over Dundee United at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Tuesday. Aaron Doran grabbed the game's only goal just before the interval to see the Caley Jags move above Falkirk on goal difference in seventh place. 

Saints have come out on top in all three meetings between the sides this season, but they've all been close contests. The first took place at the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in September. Lewis Morgan gave St Mirren a first half lead before an incredible 13 minute spell in the second half saw five goals scored. John Baird equalised for Caley Thistle on 61 minutes, but the Buddies re-took the lead two minutes later through Gregor Buchanan. Liam Polworth got Inverness on terms for a second time on 69 minutes, only for Cammy Smith and Ian McShane to score in the 73rd and 74th minute to give Saints the three points.

St Mirren came out on top again when they travelled up to Inverness in November. Second half goals from Ian McShane and Gavin Reilly gave the Buddies a 2-0 win at a rain-lashed Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. 

Inverness made their final visit of the season to Paisley in January, but again came away empty handed as Gavin Reilly's 20th goal of the season saw St Mirren win 1-0. 

Tomorrow's match will likely be another close encounter with both sides aiming for different things. A St Mirren win would see the Buddies move to within five points of the title and a return to the Ladbrokes Premiership. For Inverness, they'll be looking for three points that moves them further away from the relegation play-off spots and keeps alive their feint hopes of reaching the promotion play-offs.

Additional Information for Travelling Fans

Tomorrow, Saturday 31st March, St Mirren head to the Highlands to face Inverness Caley Thistle in a Ladbrokes Championship match-up at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

The referee tomorrow is Alan Newlands and he will be assisted by David McGeachie and Simon MacLean.

St Mirren took another huge step towards the Championship title this week, as they breezed past Dumbarton on Tuesday night to take them to within eights points of winning the league.

Jack Ross' side moved up to 66 points in the Scottish Championship on Tuesday, after putting five past the Sons at the Paisley 2021 Stadium, with goals from Cammy Smith, Danny Mullen, Gavin Reilly and a double from Lewis Morgan.

Captain Stephen McGinn spoke to Buddievision about the team's biggest win of the season and how they wanted to avoid a similar outcome from when the two teams last met in Paisley.

Back in December, Dumbarton beat Saints 1-0 and as a result have been the only team to defeat St Mirren in the league at home for over a year.

He said: "First and foremost we were really excited about the game, we love playing here, especially under the lights. We fancy ourselves against anyone here under the lights, so we were really looking forward to the game and I think it showed in the performance.

"It was one that has bugged us, it's really bugged us. That day we were miles off it as a team and really frustrated. Aside from that really poor performance, looking back we were undefeated (at home). So it was a sore one for us and one we were looking to rectify to make sure it didn't happen again tonight.

"We were after them right from the start. We appreciate that they had the cup final and the last minute heartbreak; we never had a game, we were the fresh team coming into it and we wanted to really get after them from the start. I think we did and really set the tone for the rest of the night."

St Mirren have now won eight of their last nine games in the league, but just getting over the line isn't good enough for the Saints skipper.

He believes this stage of the season is where the best teams show their worth. 

He continued: "I tend to disagree, I think sometimes when you see the real good teams coming into the home stretch, that's when they start to flex. I mean, last year some of our best performances were at this stage of the season.

"I think we've ground out the tough months, the three months over the winter period is really tough and there were some hard fought wins. Now we're looking to show why we're top of the league and why we think we're the best team in this division."      

As the team's chances of grasping the league title get closer and closer McGinn is reluctant for the team to let up in the run-in, and he knows this week's game away to Inverness will be a a stiff challenge for the team. 

He added: "You wouldn't be human if you didn't start to look at it and think about when and where you can win it. We go up to Inverness and we're thankful to be in the position we are, to go into such a tough game that we actually have got that lead, because I think it's the toughest and trickiest venue in the league.

"I don't know how they're still in the position they are in Inverness, when you see with result they got tonight. In my opinion it's the hardest game, so we'll go up there to go and win again, but we know it's going to be a really tough afternoon."

 McGinn also had a special message for the fans as the team close in on their target. Due to three away games in a row, the next time the side play at the Paisley 2021 Stadium they could be champions.

He said: "I can't speak highly enough of the fans. It wasn't easy tonight, because you start to look in the distance and we have three away games that people will be wanting to go to and the turnout tonight with Scotland playing at the same time is really, really good.

"I heard the announcement of the crowd tonight - just under 4000 - that's phenomenal in this league. I thank them again and ask them for one last push. Let's do it together.

"It would be a lot nicer than having to come here and still not be champions. I hope that's the case, but we have three really tough away games coming up - would much prefer them to be three home games with our form here - but as I said, when ever we can do it and as soon as we can do it. I will take that all day."

Commercial Manager, Campbell Kennedy welcomed Ronnie & Hazel McGinlay from Walker Laird to the Paisley 2021 Stadium this afternoon.

Walker Laird are once again the Principal sponsor of the club's SOLD OUT 2017/18 Player of the Year Dinner .

Campbell said: "This is the fourth year in a row that Walker Laird have been the Principal sponsor of the club's Player of the Year Dinner which shows their commitment to the club."

Walker Laird today also confirmed that they will be renewing their advertising boards at the stadium for the 2018/19 season ahead.
