2023/24 officially gets underway for St Mirren this Saturday as we face Montrose in the Viaplay Cup.
Stephen Robinson's men come into competitive action following four pre-season friendlies against Glentoran, Linfield, Dumbarton and Morton.
cinch League one side Montrose have also played four friendlies with wins over Arbroath and Civil Service Strollers as well as losing efforts against Raith Rovers and Forfar Athletic.
Stewart Petrie's side have added six players in the summer window so far, with Kane Hester being the pick of the bunch. The Gable Endies signed the forward - who scored 29 goals for Elgin last season - for a club record fee.
