St Mirren manager Jack Ross and assistant James Fowler are set to take to opposing dugouts at the Paisley 2021 Stadium with the pair being announced as the managers for this year's Saint for a Day.

Saint for a Day will take place on 30 April 2017 - the day after our final home league match of the 2016/17 season. 

The gaffer and his assistant will come head-to-head with Jack taking charge of the home side and James leading the away side. 

Jack said: "I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be a fun day of the back of what will hopefully have been a positive day the day before when we play Raith Rovers. It's great to meet supporters and doing something like this to raise money for the youth academy is hugely beneficial to the club. We've seen the likes of Kyle Magennis and Lewis Morgan establish themselves in the first team this season and it's important that we can keep doing that year-on-year." 

James said: "It'll be interesting coming up against the gaffer but obviously I want to win. It should be a good day and it'll no doubt be a great experience for supporters to get to play in the stadium of the team they love." 

All Saint for a Day details including how to bid and the closing date for bids can be found here.

Jack Ross gives stmirren.com his reaction after St Mirren's 2-0 win over Queen of the South in the Ladbrokes Championship.

A first half goal from Stevie Mallan was added to after the break by a penalty from Rory Loy as Saints made it four wins from their last six in the league.

St Mirren made it four wins from their last six league matches with their second win of the season over Queen of the South at Palmerston.

Goals from Stevie Mallan and Rory Loy either side of half time were enough to secure another valuable three points in the Championship relegation battle.

However, it was the home team who started the brighter of the two when Stephen Dobbie had the first opportunity. The veteran striker picked the ball up around 20 yards from goal but curled his effort straight into the arms of Billy O'Brien.

Queens were on the ascendancy in the early proceedings and went close again with just 11 minutes on the clock when Dominic Thomas saw an attempt come crashing off the cross bar after being laid off by Lyndon Dykes.

Thomas was causing problems and his ball across nearly saw Saints concede as it came off Adam Eckersley's head, beating O'Brien, before smacking off the post with the defender racing to clear off the line.

And it was Thomas again presenting the danger with O'Brien having to be alert as he tipped the winger's shot over after the St Mirren defence had failed to clear its lines from earlier attacking play.

The closest Saints had come in the match came two minutes later from a corner attack. Lewis Morgan, so often the out ball during the match, burst into the box and had a go seeing his goalbound effort blocked by Andy Dowie. 

But it was St Mirren who would take the lead just before the end of the first half. Cammy Smith burst forward and picked out Morgan who was charging down the left side. The winger put his ball into the box searching for Rory Loy and Smith, who had continued his run into the box, but neither could get on the end of it. However, it fell kindly for Mallan who took a touch to steady himself before blasting it low into the net to put Saints in front heading into the break.

Half Time: Queen of the South 0-1 St Mirren

The second half got off to a slow start but the Buddies would be two goals to the good less than ten minutes after the interval when Loy netted from the penalty spot. 

Morgan, so often St Mirren's greatest threat in the match, was pulled back by Scott Mercer after breaking into the box and getting to the byline. Saints had every penalty they had been awarded this season but there was no mistake from Loy as he sent Atkinson the wrong way to double the visitors advantage. 

St Mirren's tails were up, evidenced by an ambitious attempt from Mallan as he had a go from inside his own half after spotting Atkinson off his line, but it floated well wide. 

Gary MacKenzie got on the end of two corners around the hour mark and will feel he should have done better when he rose to meet the second one heading over the bar. 

Saints were well in control now and the impressive Kyle Magennis almost bagged a his second St Mirren goal after a great solo run. The midfielder - who scored his first senior goal at Palmerston earlier this season - burst forward before smashing it from outside the box only to see it pushed away by the Queens goalkeeper.

The hosts made a few substitutions in the hopes of salvaging something from the match but on both occasions O'Brien was equal to them - denying Dobbie and Dale Hilson.

In the end, Saints ran out comfortable winners and while today may not have been the day that Saints came off the bottom, they have given themselves a good opportunity to do so in the coming weeks.

Lewis Morgan believes that St Mirren are building up momentum at the right time of the season as they look to haul themselves from the foot of the Ladbrokes Championship.

The winger, who spoke to stmirren.com in the aftermath of Wednesday night's 3-2 win over Dundee United, admitted Saturday's match against Queen of the South is a huge contest. 

And the 20 year-old believes the opportunity to potentially come off bottom place with a win will drive the players on in what has been a challenging few weeks. 

It's been a huge effort from all of the squad," he said. "Everyone has been needed with it being Saturday-Wednesday for three or four weeks now it does take it out of you.But we know how hard we work in training and we have the legs and the physicality to deal with it.

"At the start of that run we were eight points behind and now we're one point behind and are still to play Ayr and Dumbarton at home. It'll be a big game down at Palmerston and if we win that you never know it could be this weekend we do it. 

"Our first target is the team in front of us," he continued. "We've got great belief in the squad that we will get off the bottom and then when we do we'll be looking up even further. But at the moment the main job in hand is to get off the bottom. We've probably got the best momentum of any team in the bottom six so we're definitely coming.

"We had a good point against Dunfermline and maybe the only blemish is the Raith Rovers game. But it's a vital point in the season and to get three wins from our last five just shows where we've come from as a team. We're going into every game now believing we can win."

Wednesday night's win came on the same day that Lewis and fellow teammate Stephen Mallan were both called up to the Scotland U21 squad for the upcoming friendly against Estonia. The winger took the time to praise his teammates and believes the efforts of the team helped the pair gain the call.

Yeah I'm delighted," he said. "The call has come and it's recognition for me and Stevie, but it wouldn't have come without the collective effort of the team.

"Everything is positive, it was a great result. We made it a wee bit hard for ourselves in the end but we got over the line. 

"It's going to be a great experience and it's my first call up. Hopefully I can make that a bigger feature and get in a few more squads."

Both celebrated their national team calls with a goal each in the 3-2 triumph over Dundee United. For Lewis, it was his eighth goal of the season, but he believes he could've had more than just the one goal on the night. 

I feel as if I should have more! I'd have definitely got another one when the ref has blown the whistle and I'm one-on-one at the end which killed me," he joked. "But I'm delighted to start chipping in and hopefully I can try and get into double figures until the end of the season."

The Buddies will come up against Dundee United again next week in the final of the IRN-BRU Cup and the 20 year-old thinks that the win will give the players belief that they can gain a positive result when the sides meet at Fir Park.

We've went out there and proved we can go toe-to-toe with any team in this league.

"We knew we could beat them but we've got that in the back of our mind that we've done it as recently as tonight. So we'll go into that game believing that we can get a result in the game."
