Paisley Panda is all set for Saturday’s match against Morton as he gets ready to host the ever-popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’.

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 with the winner being 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.

Paisley Panda confirms that ‘Bung a Baw’ continues to be very popular so he 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.

Statement from Gordon Scott on SMiSA £2 quarterly spend. 

"I have been placed in a very awkward position by the inclusion in the latest SMiSA £2 spend of the following:

Glenvale FC £1820.

This local Ferguslie Park based group is in its 50th Anniversary year, and have youth teams at every age group through to adult amateur level. Unfortunately they have a shortfall in their funding for this season due to receiving less than expected from other sources. They have asked SMiSA if we could help them with this which would enable them to offer free coaching to local four and five year olds. This would be consistent with SMiSA desires to get more local children involved with footballing activity, and to bring the Club and the community closer together. Sessions are held both at the St Mirren Dome (which brings some income into the Club) and at Ferguslie Sports Centre.

I explained to SMiSA that the club already provide these programmes through our Street Stuff and community programmes so they would effectively be funding a project that would impact on our existing classes. I also explained that if they put this option in then I would be forced to post this article and that in itself could jeopardise our relationship with Glenvale. Despite this they have decided to include it in the £2 spend anyway.

I have spoken with someone from Glenvale this morning and they fully understand the club's position. We have managed to build up a very good relationship with them over the last year which resulted in them playing their 50th anniversary game at our stadium and we want to continue to evolve that relationship.

I need to support the staff at this football club who I am constantly pushing to increase numbers at our community classes. I could easily sit back and rely on the SMiSA voting system to carry on as normal as I don’t think many St Mirren fans want their money spent on items that are not beneficial to our football club. However, I feel that I would not be giving our staff the support they deserve if I was to not make the clubs position clear on this.

As always it will be down to you as individuals to make your decision on how the money is spent but I felt I had to give you the clubs perspective on this occasion."

Jack Baird says he's been blown away by the Buddies support this season ahead of this weekend's derby clash with Morton. 

Baird, a stand out in the 0-0 draw with Falkirk last weekend, admits the fan support has been incredible so far this campaign and hopes Saints can continue to reward supporters with a good performance and result in Saturday's derby as he knows how much it matters to them.

Indeed, the defender's recent performances have led to chants of "Bairdy, Bairdy" ringing from the stands over the last few weeks.

He confessed that adulation from the fans is something he wished for growing up. 

You can't beat it," he told stmirren.com. "It's what you dream of as a wee kid and I'm really enjoying it.

"The crowd gets better and better every week and it's unbelievable some of the support we get considering we've been through some tough times.

"We are trying to do our best for them because they have stuck by us through those tough times and it's nice to reward them with something. They've been great with me and very supportive. 

"It's good playing at home in the derby. We haven't been beaten at home against them since I've been at the club. It's a tough place to come for other teams and that's what we are trying to make it. 

"There's more pressure before it because of what it means to the fans and how much it means to us as well. When you get a win it's maybe a bit more enjoyable than any other game. But it's hopefully just another game we can win and keep going well in the league."

Baird's first goal in senior football came against Morton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in 2015. 

While the Buddies would ultimately go on to draw the match, Baird admits it was a special moment for him and says he wants to create more on Saturday.

It was a big moment for me as it was my first goal and against Morton which was big for me and the club. It was a shame it didn't end up in a win but I've had some decent memories playing against Morton so I'm hoping to carry that into Saturday. 

"We're trying not to get caught rather than trying to catch up so every win and draw matters as we try to open up a gap."

The Buddies kept their place at the top of the league after Saturday's 0-0 draw away to Falkirk. 

Baird believes it was a good point for the Buddies against a team that will be hard to beat this season.

It's a very tough place to go," he said. "Obviously they've had a very tough start but they will pick up result and take points off teams there.

"It was a hard-fought clean sheet - the second one in a row - and we want to try and keep that going."
