St Mirren Football Club can announce that Kyle McAllister has left the club to sign for English Championship side Derby County.

The 18 year-old joins the Rams on a three-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee. 

Kyle made 18 appearances for the Buddies, scoring once in a Scottish Cup tie against Spartans - a goal that won him Goal of The Round. 

The midfielder was thankful to the club for giving him the opportunity as a player and admits he feels it's the right time for him to take the next step in his development.

I'm delighted, but nervous," he said. "It's going to be new to me moving away from my family, but what an opportunity it is to become a top player. 

"My time at the club has been amazing. Of any club in Scotland this is probably the best for an opportunity in the first team. Growing up here through the 15s and 16s you still get your opportunity to play with the older ones and it's an amazing club. They do the best they can for you and they've done the best they can for me. 

"The gaffer and Allan [McManus] have pushed me. The gaffer gave me my chance and it's them who have gotten me to where I am. David Longwell was also a big part of it and I hope he's delighted for me as well. Jack Ross has been amazing mentor and he's just let me go and do what I can do."

Kyle also confessed that the club will have a special place in his heart after giving him the chance to prove himself in the first team and also took time to express his gratitude to the Saints fans.

I wasn't a St Mirren fan when I was younger, but the club will always be big in my heart. They'll always be a big part of me and I'll always say that. All I want is for this club to stay up and then try to get back into the Premiership soon. 

"I want to say thanks to the St Mirren supporters. They've supported me since I first came into the first team and everything I've seen from them is positive. I just thought now was the perfect time to move, but the fans have been brilliant and I just want to say thanks to them."

Paisley Panda is all set for Saturday’s match against Falkirk with his preparations all in place for the popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’ and he will also be launching a new competition called 'First Scorer'.

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 reports 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.

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.

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

Two winners will be picked at random from those who guessed correctly and they will each win a family munchy box (4 slush puppies, 4 hot dogs, 4 ice creams and 6 packets of traditional sweets) from Tasty Treats of Bridge of Weir.

To enter all you have to do ahead of the game is post your prediction of the first St Mirren scorer on our Facebook or Twitter feeds using the hashtag #Saints1stgoal.

The lucky winners will be notified through the account they posted from confirming the instructions to collect their voucher from the Club Shop after the match.

Ticket Information

Visitor Information

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to confirm that Cammy Smith has joined the club on loan from Aberdeen until the end of the season. 

The forward has chosen to sign for the Buddies on loan until the end of the season after completing a spell with fellow Championship side Dundee United.

Cammy featured 23 times for United in his loan at Tannadice scoring five goals.

On the signing, Jack Ross said: "It's a brilliant acquisition for us. Cammy is a really good player and someone I didn't think we'd be able to get because he was at Dundee United. He's a good, mature boy and I think he'll be a good fit and gives us another option in the attacking area."

The club is not anticipating a big travelling support from The New Saints and - with the game being shown live on BBC Alba - have decided to adopt a sensible approach with only the West and Main Stands being opened for the match. We also believe that condensing our fans into two stands will help to generate a better atmosphere and - as shown in the win over Dunde - a vocal support can really help drive the team on.
