St Mirren Football Club has today launched a new strategy as we aim to be the best community centred development football club in Scotland.
It was a fantastic performance, ultimately we didn't get the result we came here for."
The manager gave his reaction to our narrow defeat away to Celtic.
St Mirren were edged out at Celtic Park as a late goal from substitute Hyeongyu Oh gave the hosts the points despite a battling performance from Stephen Robinson's men.
Conor McMenamin's first goal for Saints gave us an early lead in the East End of Glasgow, but David Turnbull levelled for the Hoops 11 minutes later. The Celtic midfielder missed a penalty on the half-hour mark and it looked like the Buddies may have been taking a point back to Paisley thanks to an inspired goalkeeping performance from Zach Hemming. But with only seven minutes of normal time remaining, Oh popped up with a winner for Brendan Rodgers' side.
The manager made three changes to the side that defeated St Johnstone 4-0 on Saturday. Ryan Strain returned from suspension in place of Ryan Flynn, Caolan Boyd-Munce came in for the injured Keanu Baccus and Toyosi Olusanya replaced Mikael Mandron.
The Buddies started brightly and shocked a packed Celtic Park when McMenamin netted his first St Mirren goal. The forward got his head on the end of a beautiful cross from Greg Kiltie who notched up another assist following on his goal and assist against St Johnstone on Saturday.

But Celtic equalised 11 minutes later when Turnbull scored on 18 minutes. The midfielder was teed up by O'Riley and, from the edge of the area, he curled into the top right corner to draw the league leaders level.
Celtic were gifted an opportunity to take the lead just before the half hour mark when referee John Beaton awarded the Hoops a penalty for an Alex Gogic handball after a VAR check. Turnbull stepped up to take but crashed his effort off the post. Palma was first on to the rebound, but Zach Hemming got two strong hands to push away.
The Saints goalkeeper made another big stop at the end of the half as he turned behind a sliced clearance from birthday boy Gogic as the sides went into the break level.
Hemming was forced into action 10 minutes into the second-half when he knocked behind a James Forrest effort after patient build-up play from the hosts.
The manager made two changes on 65 minutes as he looked to freshen things up. Goalscorer McMenamin and Olusanya were replaced by Alex Greive and Mikael Mandron. But Celtic were still dominated possession and playing most of the match in Saints' half. Hemming was again forced into another good stop when he pushed away Hyunjun Yang's curling effort from the edge of the area with less than 20 minutes remaining. The Celtic substitute sent another effort just by the post from similar range five minutes later.
Celtic eventually found a way through the Saints rearguard with substitute Hyeongyu Oh scoring with seven minutes of normal time remaining. The forward was slipped in by Odin Thiago Holm and finished with aplomb.
The Buddies went right up the park in search of a leveller and had a good opportunity when the ball fell to Kiltie inside the box, but his effort was blocked. The ball was swung back in where it met the head of Mark O'Hara but it was gathered by Joe Hart. Despite Saints pressure in the final minutes, we couldn't fashion an opportunity for an equaliser as we left Celtic Park empty-handed.

St Mirren has the overall mission to be the best community centred development football club in Scotland and have announced a three-year strategic partnership with Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to widen the club's reach to local families and provide direct help to those in need of extra support. The new partnership between St Mirren and Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde has been further strengthened with the appointment of St Mirren Chief Operating Officer, Keith Lasley as the Home-Start Ambassador for the Renfrewshire area.
We are fan-owned through The St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMiSA). The move into fan ownership came in conjunction with charity and social enterprise Kibble who, in 2020, bought a 27 percent stake to become part-owners of the club. The club has already built a strong sense of community through school visits, ticket donations and regular charitable initiatives including the set-up of clothing drive last winter.
The St Mirren Charitable Foundation and Street Stuff have a profound impact on the wider community. The Foundation run over 20 programmes from 'Fit and Fed' to the Walking Football Club and each week sees over 500 people come along to join in with the various fun sports clubs and group sessions. The community reach is strengthened through Street Stuff, which will be celebrating 15 years of delivery in April 2024. Their diversionary approach has contributed to a sustained reduction in reported youth disorder and anti-social behaviour with activities including multi-sports, gaming (within our multipurpose youth buses), community litter picks, as well as the wide range of current topical educational inputs, all of which are delivered by community staff from St Mirren.
The club wants to build on the momentum and use its power to offer even more tangible help, building on existing activities to create the greatest community impact possible.
St Mirren have previously worked with Home-Start who provide practical and emotional support to parents/carers with children until five-years-old. Families are recommended to Home-Start from Health Visitors and GPs as well as directly contacting the charity themselves. By establishing the existing relationship as an official strategic charity partnership, the two organisations can combine resources to provide immediate respite to real-life families.
Together, St Mirren and Home-Start will make a bigger difference than either organisation could working in silo.
Keith Lasley, Chief Operating Officer of St Mirren, said: "In the past year, Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde have supported over 200 families and St Mirren are committed to working side-by-side to deliver charitable projects that families can directly benefit from and raise the profile of the work the charity carries out daily.
It is essential that help is accessible to families who ask for support. We as a club are determined to use our power to help Home-Start ensure parents/carers and grandparents feel like someone is listening and available to them in their time of need.
"Here at St Mirren our success relies on more than a result on the pitch, the club’s sense of achievement very much factors in the impact we’ve had on those living within the community - how many community projects we’ve been a part of, the number of families who come along on match day. We want to make Paisley proud by saying St Mirren has made a difference to the lives of families who surround the stadium.
"It is a privilege for me to take on the role of Home-Start Ambassador for Renfrewshire. There will be full involvement from myself and the entire club and we look forward to meeting families, working with the staff team, launching valuable initiatives and fundraising for such an important and worthwhile cause."
Lisa Carberry, Interim Director of Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, said: "To have St Mirren support Home-Start truly exemplifies community spirit. We are looking forward to growing our existing relationship with the club as we partner together over the shared interest of helping families.
"Both organisations have the same vision, to bring people together, and for families to know there is a community open to them. Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring challenges. Home-Start understands that not all parenting journeys are the same for everyone therefore Home-Start is there to help families navigate their way through these new and sometimes daunting times. Home-Start is delighted to be able to receive the support and resources that a partnership with the local Scottish Premiership Football Club can offer. The goal is always to provide the best support possible to families across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde."
Our latest Help a Buddie tickets were delivered to the Ralston Day Centre ahead of Saturday’s match against St Johnstone.
Captain Mark O’Hara visited our St Mirren Training Ground neighbours to hand across 10 tickets for use by their service users and staff. They were treated to a four-goal showing from Saints as we ran out 4-0 winners against St Johnstone at The SMiSA Stadium.
Ralston Day Centre provides day care to older people who have been assessed as requiring a service to help them remain in their community and be as independent as possible. The centre caters for older people who have a diagnosis of dementia, or who have a reduced physical capacity. To find out more about the facility please click HERE.
Help a Buddie was launched last season as supporters bought and donated match tickets with the aim of giving some of the most vulnerable and at need in our community the chance to attend matches at The SMiSA Stadium where they may not have previously had the opportunity.
To donate a Help a Buddie ticket please click HERE. If you would like to nominate a worthwhile individual/cause then please fill in this short form.
