Paisley Panda will once again be hosting the ever-popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’ at Saturday’s match against Queen of the South.

To take part in ‘Bung a Baw’ fans need to purchase a small foam ball which is numbered and they will then have a chance to throw their ball towards our club mascot Paisley Panda in front of the Family Stand. Each person will have 60 seconds to do this and the winner will be the person who has thrown the ball closest to the feet of the Panda. The winner will be confirmed over the PA system.

The competition is sponsored by The Linwood Farm Restaurant who are supplying a family meal voucher as the prize for the contest winner.

Each ball will cost £1 to buy. The balls will be available from sellers inside the Family Stand in the 30 minutes leading up to kick-off and then again in the first 5 minutes of half-time before the competition starts (subject to availability). Each ball is numbered and participants will also get a ticket with the corresponding number which they will use to claim the prize if they win.

‘Bung a Baw’ continues to be very popular so Paisley Panda advises that you get in early tomorrow to purchase your ball to take part.

As well as taking care of ‘Bung a Baw’, Paisley Panda will be giving away sweets to the kids in and around the stadium courtesy of the Black and White Army website.

Paisley Panda has also teamed up with the St Mirren Club Shop so you will be able to buy hats and scarves for the game from the 'Bung a Baw' stands.

Paisley Panda is pleased to confirm that ‘First Scorer’ will be back for the game on Saturday against Queen of the South.

‘First Scorer’ lets fans predict in advance of the game who they think will score St Mirren's first goal in Saturday’s match against The Doonhamers.

From all of those who guessed correctly, a winner will be picked at random and they will win a box of a dozen doughnuts which will be delivered to their seat right after the goal is scored!

To enter all you have to do ahead of the game is post your prediction of the first St Mirren scorer on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #Saints1stgoal. The lucky winner will then be contacted to confirm which stand they will be in with the row and seat number so that the prize can be delivered to them.

St Mirren are delighted to announce that Jack Baird has signed an extension to his current deal that sees him contracted to Saints until summer 2019.

The Buddies defender has been in impressive form this season and recently scored his first league goal of the campaign in Friday night’s win over Dunfermline in the Ladbrokes Championship.

Speaking on the extension, St Mirren manager Jack Ross said: "I'm pleased that Jack has extended his contract with us.

"He's still a young man who has really grown as a player over the last year or so and he's someone who can still get better. 

"We are an attacking team and our attacking players probably get most credit, but you can't forget the job the defence has done this season and Jack has played a major part in that.

"So we're delighted to get the deal done and I'm sure he's delighted to get things tied up too."

St Mirren can announce that Cameron MacPherson has joined League One side Stranraer on a development loan until the end of the season.

The 19 year-old made his debut in St Mirren's 2-0 win over Dundee in the Scottish Cup last January before going on to make six appearances for The Buddies this season.

All at St Mirren wish Cammy the best in his time at Stranraer. 

St Mirren Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Myles Hippolyte on an 18-month deal.

The forward joins The Buddies after leaving fellow Championship side Falkirk where he had made 67 appearances.

23 year-old Myles also had a spell with Livingston before joining the Bairns in 2016.

Speaking to Buddievision on his move, Myles said: "It feels good to be at the club. I'm looking forward to it and getting out on the pitch and meeting the boys, and going forward seeing how we can finish the season. 

"Hopefully I can add to the team to help us at the top of the table, with regards to staying there, and hopefully securing that spot. I think thats the most important thing for everyone, getting St Mirren back into the Premiership."

St Mirren manager Jack Ross said: "We've spoken about the desire to get in one more in an attacking sense, but also I'm happy with the squad, so it needed to be somebody who would strengthen us again and improve us. And somebody also who had the potential to get better, and I think he definitely fits all those criteria.

"We have good flexibility in our players middle to front, and I think he's another one that fits with that - he's comfortable in any of those front four positions. Which is important for us, because I think the players have blossomed under that system."

Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's community football centres at Arkleston Primary School, Renfrew have been cancelled.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 

The St Mirren U20s fell to a 2-0 defeat last night against Celtic in the SPFL Development League despite a good showing at Cappielow.

The Young Buddies went close in the opening minutes when Sam Jamieson spotted Celtic goalkeeper Ryan Mullen off his line but the lob drifted wide.

Despite probably having the better of the first half Saints went in behind at the break when Jack Aitchison profited from slack defending. The striker's initial shot was saved by Ross Stewart but he quickly pounced on the rebound to give The Young Hoops a half-time lead. 

Celtic doubled their lead soon into the second half with Ciaran Diver eventually forced the ball home after Stewart had made a good double save. 

Broque Watson had a huge chance to make it three for Celtic when he rounded the keeper but fired well wide. Then, as the goal kick was about to be taken, Ross Stewart was shown a red card for foul and abusive language. 

The Young Buddies are next in action on Tuesday as they travel to Dingwall to face Ross County.

Friday night saw St Mirren end their 16 year hoodoo at East End Park with a 2-1 win over Dunfermline Athletic, thanks to a winner from Jack Baird on the 64th minute.

A well worked Kyle Magennis freekick on the edge of the box outfoxed The Pars defence, and left Baird alone at the back post to score his first league goal of the season.

Speaking to Buddievision, Baird said: "We work a lot on set pieces, but that wasn't one of the ones we had. We made it up on the spot - I was trying to look at them without giving it away. I was kind of hoping for a header, but a volley will do.

I don't often score, so it was really enjoyable for me.

"But the main thing was getting the three points, because it's a massive push towards creating a big gap, hopefully, at the top and put a bit of pressure on the teams round about us. But we still have a fair bit to go."

Baird scored his only other goal of the season in the 7-1 win over Lothian Thistle in the Scottish Cup third round back in November.

The 21 year old put in a stellar performance at both ends of the pitch, with some solid defending throughout the game and a couple of crucial blocks at the end. This was followed by a standing ovation from the away end as they sung the young centre back's name.

Can't beat my own chant, it's brilliant. It brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. So many people travel through, and I know its not easy on a Friday night when you're coming straight from work, but I do appreciate it and so do the rest of the boys."

St Mirren and Baird's focus are now firmly set on Saturday's home match against Queen of The South, which will be the club's first game at the Paisley 2021 Stadium in four weeks, after three away games in a row.

I feel like we don't play at home as often as we used to at the start of the season, which is annoying, because I do like paying at home. We don't often give up points there, which is good and is obviously a good mentality to have as a team. It makes it hard for people to come there."
