St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Allan Campbell on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 27-year-old becomes our first signing of the January transfer window as he joins up with Stephen Robinson’s men for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign.

Beginning his career at Motherwell where he would work with Robinson, Allan made 160 appearances for the Steelmen between 2016-2021 before making the move down south to join Luton Town.

The midfielder enjoyed a fruitful spell at the Hatters, helping them win promotion to the English Premier League during the 2022/23 season. His form at the Bedfordshire club saw him win his one and only Scotland cap in a 4-1 win away to Armenia.

During his time in England, there would also be loan spells at Millwall and Charlton Athletic where he would make a combined 29 appearances.

Allan returned to Scotland in January 2025 for a short spell at Dundee United, making 13 appearances for the Terrors as they finished fourth in the William Hill Premiership.

He'll take the number 16 jersey at Saints for the remainder of the season. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, Allan said: "Obviously I know the manager.

"He was the one who gave me my real start in professional football, played me, backed me, and developed me a lot as a player. When the opportunity came up to come and play football under him, I thought it was a great opportunity.

I can't wait to get back playing," he continued.

"I love football and I love watching it, but at the same time it's difficult when you're not involved, so it's been good to be back in amongst the boys.

"I keep myself well. That's one thing I pride myself on, working hard off the pitch, so I've been keeping busy, making sure that I'm ready for when I get the chance and hopefully that'll be soon."

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "I've worked with Allan before. He's gone down to England and done very well.

He's the right type of character and he's got a lot of quality.

"He hasn't played football for a little while. But on a short-term contract, we think he's a fantastic signing and will be very good around the place as well. Allan's someone with immense talent that could influence games.

"With our numbers being short in midfield, he seemed like the perfect solution and we're confident that he'll be a real asset towards the end of the season."

Form

Saints go into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Motherwell at Fir Park. The Buddies were beaten by the Steelmen on Saturday to remain in 10th place in the William Hill Premiership. 

The Buddies are nine points ahead of Livingston who sit at the bottom of the league. David Martindale's side were narrowly defeated on Saturday, falling to a 1-0 loss away to league leaders Hearts at Tynecastle. The Lions have picked up nine points from 20 league matches this season with their sole victory coming at home to Falkirk in August. 

The two sides met five days before Christmas with Mikael Mandron's second-half goal enough to secure all three points for Saints in a 1-0 win at The SMiSA Stadium a little over two weeks ago. 

Livingston were victorious when the sides last met at The Home of the Set Fare Arena, winning 1-0 back in February 2024. Our last win away to Livingston came in October 2021 with Ethan Erhahon's goal giving us a 1-0 victory. 

The Officials

Duncan Nicolson is the referee tomorrow night and Don Robertson is on VAR duty.

St Mirren Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bobby Holmes at the age 93.

Bobby began his playing career at amateur level with Lochend Rovers and Campsie Black Watch before moving up to the junior ranks with Kilsyth Rangers in 1951.

Predominantly a centre-half in his junior career, Bobby joined St Mirren in 1954 and made his debut as an inside-left in a 4-4 draw against Motherwell. Four days later, he scored his first goal for Saints in what was just his second match.

Bobby's impressive form at Saints across the 1955/56 and 1956/57 seasons saw him selected for the Scotland squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Unfortunately, a broken leg towards the end of season 1956/57 saw him miss out on any involvement with the national team and would result in him missing the entirety of the 1957/58 season. 

He would eventually make his comeback in January 1959 but was unable to earn a place in the side for Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen in April. After struggling to regain fitness, Bobby made the tough decision to retire from playing following medical advice. This put an end to the career of a man who scored 40 goals in 116 appearances for the Buddies.

Following his retirement from playing, Bobby began a new career in physiotherapy where he would work with Arthurlie Juniors, Albions Rovers and Dumbarton before returning to Saints. He would spend six years at Saints between 1984 and 1990, serving as physio in our 1987 Scottish Cup triumph. 

The thoughts of everyone at St Mirren are with Bobby's loved ones at this sad time.

Our William Hill Premiership match away to Livingston on Tuesday 6th January will be subject to a pitch inspection at the Home of the Set Fare Arena. 

Following sustained freezing conditions in Livingston, a pitch inspection is due to take place at 10:30am tomorrow morning (6th Jan) to assess whether the match will go ahead. 

We will update supporters as soon as a decision is made.

St Mirren were beaten in our first match of 2026 as the Buddies fell to a 2-0 defeat to Motherwell at Fir Park.

Tawanda Maswanhise and Elliot Watt scored the goals as the Steelmen ensured all three points would remain in Lanarkshire. 

Saints tried to force the issue early on, winning two corners in quick succession in the opening minutes. Alex Gogic then sent Conor McMenamin on the break, but the attacker didn't have the speed to race away from the tracking Motherwell defender allowing the Steelmen to half clear. The Buddies regained possession with it being eventually worked to Dan Nlundulu who fired over from an angle.

The hosts were seeing more of the ball in the opening stages, but it was Saints who would have the first real opportunity that tested either goalkeeper. Mikael Mandron brought down a Miguel Freckleton pass and laid it off to Nlundulu 20 yards from goal. The forward's curling effort may have taken a slight deflection off Stephen Welsh as Calum Ward tipped wide at full-stretch on 22 minutes.

Shamal George would then be called into action two minutes later. The Saints stopper had to get a strong hand to Lukas Fadinger's long-range hit as he touched it over the bar. George made another big save four minutes later to deny Callum Slattery. The 'Well midfielder drove forward before unleashing a low strike that saw George get down well to push away.

The home side would hit the front with 10 minutes of the first-half remaining as they hit Saints on the counter. Elijah Just sent Tawanda Maswanhise racing clear and he showed composure to slot beyond George to break the deadlock.

Stephen Robinson made two changes at the break with Liam Donnelly and Evan Mooney replacing Richard King and Nlundulu - the latter pair having been booked just before the interval. 

Motherwell doubled their advantage a little over 10 minutes after the restart. The chance looked like it had passed for the hosts, but Maswanhise managed to work the ball to Elliot Watt on the edge of the area and he fired high into the net to make it two. 

The manager made another double substitution on 67 minutes with the introduction of Malik Dijksteel and Roland Idowu in place of Jayden Richardson and Mandron. With 10 minutes to go, our final substitution was made with McMenamin making way for Fraser Taylor. Saints started seeing more of the ball and playing most of the game in the Motherwell half. But the Buddies couldn't fashion any opening that would offer us any route back into the match.
