A number of Saints have been called up for national team duty during the October international break.
stmirren.com takes a look at those that will represent their country over the next week.
Scottish eyes will keep a close look on Alex Gogic's Cyprus tomorrow night (Thursday 12th) when they take on Norway in Larnaca. Scotland, who would qualify for Euro 2024 if they avoid defeat in Spain tomorrow, could also book their place in Germany if Norway fail to beat the Cypriots. Cyprus will then take on Georgia in Tbilisi on Sunday.
Keanu Baccus and Ryan Strain will face off against Saints teammate Alex Greive when Australia take on New Zealand in London on Tuesday night. The Socceroos will face the All Whites at Brentford's GTech Community Stadium. It's be the second time the Buddies have faced each other in international football having squared off during last season's September international break.
However, before that meeting, Australia will play England at Wembley on Friday night, while New Zealand play in Spain on Friday night when New Zealand come up against DR Congo at Estadio Nueva Condomina in Murcia.
Speaking to the press recently, Keanu told of his excitement at the opportunity of playing for his country at the largest stadium within the United Kingdom.
It would be amazing.
"It’s something I would love to experience and I think every young kid would want to play there.
"It’s a top-notch stadium so hopefully we can all go there and enjoy the experience. Hopefully I get the chance and that we beat them. We’re not there just to have fun, we want to do our best and why not back ourselves?"
Conor McMenamin is away with Northern Ireland as Michael O'Neill's side face San Marino and Slovenia at Windsor Park in UEFA Euro 2024 Qualification Group H. St Mirren Assistant Manager Diarmuid O'Carroll is also part of the Northern Ireland setup as Senior Coach.
There's also a St Mirren Youth Academy graduate representing with Callum Penman called up by Scotland U17s as part of their triple header as they look to reach a third successive Under-17 European Championships later this month. They will face Belarus, Kazakhstan and Turkey.
We wish all well during their time away and look forward to their return to Saints next week.
