St Mirren Football Club has secured a landmark sponsorship deal that will see the women’s and youth teams wear the same strips as the men.

Thought to be the first time in top flight Scottish football history, the move was achieved as Digby Brown Solicitors moved into the second season of its two-year kit deal.

It means every football player for the Paisley Saints will wear the same logo on their home and away jerseys in the 2022/23 season.

Tony Fitzpatrick, Chief Executive of St Mirren Football Club, said: "Digby Brown have been fantastic partners for St Mirren since coming on board with us at the beginning of the season.

"Digby Brown’s company values strongly align with our own and we are delighted to have them with us again next season.

"We are really excited for this partnership to progress into its second year with full support, not just for the first team, but the women’s and academy teams also in what is believed to be a first in top-flight Scottish football.

"Whether it’s first team, women’s, or academy, we are all St Mirren and we are thankful to Digby Brown for their continued support of the club."

Fraser Oliver, Chief Executive of Digby Brown Solicitors, said: "As the fans know, our partnership with St Mirren all happened very quickly and delighted as we still are, we always wanted to help with more than just first team shirts.

"At Digby Brown our people work hard and work well but more importantly, we all know we are part of one team.

"We believe St Mirren players deserve that same feeling of belonging – and we think that starts with recognition.

"We are therefore delighted that as we extend our partnership with St Mirren until the end of the 2022/23 season, we can provide youth academies, female squads and the first team with the same strips.

"That way all players are unified as one team – playing under the same banner to the same fans with the same recognition."

Digby Brown Solicitors is Scotland's most recognised legal brand specialising in personal injury and employment law.

The firm has been recognised on numerous occasions as Scottish Law Firm of the Year however Community Contribution is the award they are best known for, winning it for the last seven years.

St Mirren's final away game before the cinch Premiership split takes place on Saturday as Saints travel to Motherwell.

Both teams still harbour ambitions of a top six finish and know a win is vital in keeping up the chase for one of the remaining positions. 

The two sides sit on 36 points - just one point off fifth and sixth placed Hibernian and Livingston.

Saints go into Saturday's match having been agonisingly beaten in the final moments of our game against Dundee United before the international break. However, it was a last minute goal in the prior league match against Dundee that gave Stephen Robinson his first win as St Mirren manager as Connor Ronan scored in a 1-0 win at the Kilmac Stadium.

Meanwhile, Motherwell have yet to win a league match in 2022 with Graham Alexander's men on a run of 11 league games without victory. The Steelmen also lost out to a last minute goal in a 2-1 defeat to St Johnstone prior to the international break. 

Match Details

Previous

Saints have faced the Steelmen twice this season - with neither side being separated as both ended in draws. 

Eamonn Brophy scored twice at Fir Park in October as the Buddies came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. 

Alex Gogic scored a late header on his debut at the beginning of February which looked to have given Saints all the points when Motherwell visited the SMiSA Stadium. But Ross Tierney scored an injury time goal to give the Lanarkshire side a share of the spoils. 

St Mirren have only lost one of their last nine against Motherwell. In that run Saints have won three times (all at Fir Park) and drawn the other five.

The officials

Craig Napier is the referee on Saturday. He'll be assisted by Daniel McFarlane and Graham McNeillie. Bobby Madden is fourth official. 

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Kieran Offord has agreed a two-year contract extension until 2024 with the option of a further year.

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate, who turned 18 yesterday, made his first team debut in our 0-0 draw with Celtic in December 2021. He would play 88 minutes for Saints that evening before coming on as a substitute against Rangers at Ibrox four days later.

The forward has spent most of this season on loan at Lowland League side East Stirlingshire where he has scored nine goals in 12. 

Kieran has also been capped by the Scotland U19s this season - featuring in a 3-0 win over Gibraltar and a 1-1 draw against Croatia back in November.

After agreeing the new deal, Kieran told stmirren.com. "I feel like I'm ready now for the challenge to push on.

I was involved in the games against Celtic and Rangers before Christmas and I've been out on loan as well. I've been working hard to try and get to the level I want and that's the Premiership.

"The loan has been very beneficial. I've been playing against men week in, week out and I've been scoring goals. It's helped prepare for training with the first team and hopefully it can help me playing with the first team.

"I've been training with the first team a lot more and there has been more opportunity for me. It's a lot more physically demanding and fitness wise I feel like I'm pushing myself to the limits and getting better and better.

"The manager has said that he feels if I work hard then there is an opportunity for me to impress him and if I do well enough I'll be given a chance." 

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Kieran's been a real bright spark since I've come to the club.

I've involved a number of youth team players since I arrived at the club and he was one that really caught my eye.

"There has been a lot of interest in Kieran from clubs in Scotland and England and I felt it was important that we got him tied down to a longer term deal.

"We want to create an identity and a pathway for young players at our club. Kieran sees the pathway that we are trying to create here and the hard work for him starts now."

Assistant manager Diarmuid O'Carroll oversees Kieran Offord signing his new contract.

Connor Ronan is honoured to have received his first senior call-up for the Republic of Ireland ahead of their upcoming internationals against Belgium and Lithuania.

The 24-year-old has been incredible form for Saints this season - netting eight goals from midfield since joining on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August.

It's been that form that caught the eye of Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny who was in attendance when Connor scored the only goal in our win against Hibernian at Easter Road last month. 

He becomes the second player to have been called up for Ireland while with St Mirren this season after Jamie McGrath - now at Wigan Athletic - had been named in previous squads.

And the midfielder admits that was something that enticed him to make the move to Saints in August. 

After seeing what Jamie [McGrath] had achieved the season before, and how that got him into the Ireland squad, played a big part in my decision coming to St Mirren," he said speaking to stmirren.com. 

"It has always been on the back of my mind when I have been on loan spells to Switzerland last season and here.

"It's something that I have been working towards since I’ve left playing for the U21s.

"I'm really looking forward to the full training camp in general - getting in with the lads, getting to know everyone and then the games are just there to top it off. 

"I think it is the same for any new player, you want to go in and prove yourself that you are worthy of being there which is what I will go in and try do."

Connor celebrates after scoring his first St Mirren goal against Aberdeen back in September. 

Connor reserved special praise for his family who have continuously travelled to Scotland to support him during his time at Saints.

Along with my partner's family, they are coming up and down a lot.

"I had family up for Saturday's match and I am sure there will be a lot of them going over to Dublin.

"It's massive honour and a really proud moment for me and my family."
