Darren Whyte has joined League One side Forfar Athletic on an emergency loan. 

The 20 year-old will link up with the Angus side for 93 days to provide defensive cover. 

Whyte, a St Mirren Youth Academy graduate, has made four appearances for the Buddies first team - the latest of which came in the 3-0 win over Dundee United in the Ladbrokes Championship last month.

Everyone at St Mirren wishes Darren all the best in his loan spell. 

Paisley Panda is all set for Sunday’s match against Queen of the South 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 predicts that ‘Bung a Baw’ will continue to be very popular this season so he advises that you get in early on Sunday 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 confirmed that there will be an interview pitch side with Paisley singer Lisa Kowalski at half-time. Lisa is looking to have St Mirren fans feature in her new music video which is being sponsored by the Paisley 2021 bid!

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 Sunday's game against Queen of the South.

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

The winner will be picked at random from those who guessed correctly and they will win a bag of a dozen doughnuts which will be delivered to your 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.

Harry Davis says he hopes to be back in full training next month. 

The defender, who signed permanently for Saints in August, has been out since March after picking up a knee injury in a 3-2 win over Dundee United.

It cut short a promising loan spell at the Buddies where he had quickly become a fan favourite witj three goals in nine appearances. 

While proving to be a goalscoring threat, it was his defensive displays that won over Saints supporters with the stopper playing his part in St Mirren's survival bid. 

With Davis now back running he confessed that he doesn't want to return too quickly and cause further issues, but is optimistic that he will resume training in the coming weeks.

Hopefully I'll be back in full training in October at some stage," he told stmirren.com

"I'm just progressing with my running now. It's great to be back running as you take it for granted when you are doing it. 

"It all just depends on how I feel physically. I don't want to rush it because then you can get muscles strains and aches.

"You're always eager to get back as quickly as possible, but it's about being sensible with that. I don't want to break down. I want to get back and stay back for the rest of the season."

Davis has been impressed with the team while watching from the sidelines and believes the confidence built up from last season's big performances have carried on to this season.

They've been playing well," he said.

"The games I've watched at home we've been very good which is pleasing to see.

"It's great to see the lads full of confidence and now we have a run of games we'll be looking to get maximum points from it. 

"It'd be nice to be back in the squad with the team doing well. It would be a change from last season.

"The gaffer keeping most of the squad from last season has been massive. We've brought the feeling from last season into this season.

"I think you can see week-in, week-out we've got a team than wants to do well for themselves, for the manager and everyone associated with the club."

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Steven Thompson will be inducted into the St Mirren Hall of Fame. 

The lifelong Buddie is the latest inductee to be announced, with Danny Lennon, Jim Goodwin, Alex Smith and Jimmy Bone all set to take their place at the club's 140th Anniversary dinner next month.

However, due to commitments with the BBC, Steven is unable to attend the club's 140th Anniversary Dinner and will instead be inducted at the club's end of season dinner in 2018. 

Steven joined his boyhood heroes in 2011 after leaving English club Burnley and stayed with the Saints until he retired in 2016, scoring 54 goals in 180 appearances for the black and white. 

Perhaps his most famous moment at St Mirren came in 2013 when he scored the second goal in our 3-2 triumph over Hearts in the League Cup final as the Buddies lifted major silverware for the first time since 1987.

Steven told stmirren.com: "To finish my career at St Mirren would have been enough, but to be involved in a moment that would be as historic and memorable as the Cup Final will be with me forever."

Commercial Manager, Campbell Kennedy said: "Nobody can forget the contributions that Steven made during his time at the club. With Danny Lennon and Jim Goodwin being inducted also it made sense for Steven to join them. Whilst it's unfortunate he can't be with us at the 140th Anniversary Dinner, we are delighted that he will be inducted at the end of the season dinner." 

Step branding at The Paisley 2021 Stadium is a new cost effective way to support the club whether you are a dedicated fan or a local business.

The cost per sign including cost to manufacture is £100 plus VAT (1 year) or £200 plus VAT (3 years). 

Along with an official club certificate of authenticity signed by Tony Fitzpatrick, you will also receive your step sign at the end of your sponsorship.

Stephen McGinn has told Saints fans that the team will make up for Saturday's disappointment against Dunfermline.

The captain confessed to stmirren.com that Saturday's 3-0 defeat to the Pars wasn't good enough. 

Despite being Saints' first loss in six, McGinn was frustrated by the manner of defeat and apologised to the 1000+ St Mirren fans who travelled to East End Park.

But while he was disappointed to lose, he cautioned that there is still a long way to go in the season and the team will work to improve. 

I apologise to the fans who came in great numbers and ask for them to turn out again. We'll repay them for that over the long run. 

"It's so early on, but in any game to get beat the way we did is sore and we have to take our medicine. 

"They are a good side and it's a tough place to come. We can't defend as poorly as we did. If we keep defending the way we are we are going to have afternoons like Morton and here and it's not acceptable moving forward.

"There's a long way to go and we still play each team at least three times. On paper it is still a reasonable start with winnable fixtures to complete the first round of fixtures.

"We take our medicine, we'll work on the negatives and we have to improve defensively. We need to be better and far more resilient."

The Buddies have won their last six home matches in a row and are back to playing hosts this weekend as Queen of the South come to Paisley. 

McGinn says the team will be aiming to keep up the good home form on Sunday in a bid to look to get back to winning ways.

Our home form is really good and it was a different game going to Dunfermline.

"We like playing at home and fancy our chances of beating most teams there.

"The last run of home games was very profitable for us and we have to look to do the same again."
