Match Preview: Brechin v St Mirren

St Mirren are on the road tomorrow as Saints travel to Angus to face Brechin City in the Ladbrokes Championship. 

The Buddies will be looking to get back to winning ways after a three match winning run was halted last week following defeat to Dumbarton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. A late strike from ex-Saint Tom Walsh gave Dumbarton all three points last Saturday against 10-men St Mirren after the red card shown to Stelios Demetriou. 

Saints had been in good form having picked up six points from six in two tricky matches away to Inverness and at home to Livingston. A 3-1 win over Livingston at the Paisley 2021 Stadium saw the Buddies return to the top of the Championship only for Dundee United to leapfrog Saints following the loss to Dumbarton. 

Brechin have yet to win in the Championship this season following their promotion via the play-offs last season. Darren Dods' side have picked up three draws from their opening 15 league fixtures this season - drawing 2-2 with Livingston and 1-1 with Falkirk and Dundee United, all at Glebe Park. City have lost their two league matches with losses away to Morton (4-1) and Inverness (4-0). 

They came close to gaining a point when they visited the Paisley 2021 Stadium back in September. Cammy Smith gave Saints an early lead only for ex-St Mirren U20s striker Kalvin Orsi to level before half time. With just over 10 minutes remaining substitute Dale Hilson scored his first goal for The Buddies to give the side a narrow 2-1 win. 

That win represented St Mirren's seventh win in a row against Brechin. Manager Jack Ross and captain Stephen McGinn both featured for The Buddies the last time the side faced Brechin away with a Jim Hamilton double and a Dennis Wyness goal giving Saints a 3-1 win in the Scottish Cup back in 2009. Indeed, City have managed just one win over St Mirren in the 34 matches that have occurred between the two. That came back in 2004 when goals from Scott McCulloch and Jamie Smith gave the bottom-of-the-table side a shock 2-0 victory at Glebe Park. 

St Mirren will be aiming to put last weekend's loss behind them and hope a win, coupled with results elsewhere, will see them return to the top of the league. A win tomorrow would be a 10th league win of the season for Saints - more than they managed in the entirety of last season. Brechin, meanwhile, will be desperate to get the monkey off their back and secure their first league win of the season.

Black and White Magazine's Gordian Mothersole will host an evening that will see folk singer, Burns aficionado and national treasure, Alastair McDonald provide Burns song and verse.

Alastair will be joined by David Brown whose Tam o' Shanter and Holy Willie's Prayer will take you back in time.

Other speakers already booked include George Adam MSP, Chair o' SMiSA, Ian Brown, so much a St Mirren fan he bleeds black and white, and Michelle Evans of PFA Scotland.

Entry is by ticket only. Tickets are priced at £40 and can be purchased online or at the stadium reception.

St Mirren continue to fly the flag for the town’s UK City of Culture bid with Paisley 2021 Stadium

St Mirren FC will continue to fly the flag for Paisley’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid with an extension to a deal to keep its stadium name in place until the end of May 2018.

If the town takes title there will be an option to extend the sponsorship to retain the name of the Paisley 2021 Stadium until May 2022.

The news is announced as the club erected new signage outside the stadium and is an extension of the original two year two-year sponsorship and stadium naming rights deal struck with Renfrewshire Council in November 2015. The venue was renamed from St Mirren Park to mark Paisley’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid.

Paisley is shortlisted for the title alongside Coventry, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland and Swansea. The winner will be announced this Thursday evening by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which organised the competition.

Paisley 2021 Bid Director Jean Cameron said: "St Mirren are at the heart of the community and we are delighted to have their continued support.

"Paisley’s bid journey has been a positive one and will continue no matter what the outcome this week is. The Paisley 2021 stadium forms part of this legacy and keeps the name going."

St Mirren Director Tony Fitzpatrick said: "The fortunes of the town and the club are interlinked and we are delighted to continue with our support of Paisley 2021.

"A winning year of culture would be great for both the town and the club. With the UK City of Culture decision imminent, we wish Paisley the very best of luck in its bid for the title."

Tony Fitzpatrick visits Valencia CF

St Mirren Chief Executive Tony Fitzpatrick recently paid a visit to Valencia CF after being invited over by inspiresport's Head of Sales for Scotland, Jed McCabe. 

Inspiresport, who have a close relationship with St Mirren, are also partners with the La Liga side and Tony was invited to see how the structure at Valencia worked from the academy right through to first team.

Tony had the chance to watch several academy games including Valencia vs Villarreal U14s and U18s games. He was introduced to Valencia first team left back, Toni Lato who came through the academy and was recently voted 15th in FourFourTwo's 100 Best Teenagers in the World 2017. Tony talked with the full back about his pathway from the academy to the first team.

Valencia legend Miguel Ángel Angulo also took time to chat with Tony about Valencia's philosophy and how they go about scouting the best players in Spain. Tony was also invited in behind the scenes of the first team training area and the Mestalla Stadium before finishing his tour off by attending the Valencia vs Barcelona match.

Due to the link between St Mirren and inspiresport, the hope is for St Mirren Youth Academy teams to go over to Valencia and test themselves against their peers at the same age group and for both clubs to build strong relations going forward.
