St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Callum Penman has signed a new contract until summer 2027. 

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate has been involved in a number of first-team squads this season, featuring on the bench in seven of our last nine William Hill Premiership matches.

The 17-year-old has also been a key player in the U18s' Scottish Youth Cup run, where they have reached the quarter-final stage. Callum has also been capped by Scotland at U17s level. 

He now joins fellow U18s player Evan Mooney - who agreed a similar deal in the summer - in being signed up for the next two-and-a-half years. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, manager Stephen Robinson said: "Callum has been training with the first-team since the start of the season and has really developed and grown in confidence. 

He's been a standout along with Evan Mooney in the youth team and we're starting to see the progress of the things that have been put in place. We're delighted that he has committed to the club longer-term."

"He fits into that wing-back role with lots of pace and energy. He may get his chance in the coming weeks. He's been unfortunate not to get his debut and we'll possibly look at the loan market as well to continue his development."

St Mirren return to The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday as the Buddies play host to Motherwell in the William Hill Premiership. 

Stephen Robinson's men will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's 2-0 loss against Dundee United at Tannadice. Despite that setback, Saints have been in good form and are unbeaten in their last three home matches. 

A win on Saturday would see Saints leapfrog Motherwell and move back into the top six, with the 'Well currently one point ahead of the Buddies.

The Opposition

Motherwell go into Saturday's match on the back off a defeat away to Dundee in the William Hill Premiership on Wednesday night. 

The 4-1 loss at Dens saw the Steelmen slip to sixth and made it three defeats on the bounce for Stuart Kettlewell's side, having lost to Hibernian (0-3) and Ross County (1-2) in their previous two. 

Motherwell came out on top in the only meeting between the two sides this season. Killian Phillips had given Saints the lead at Fir Park in September, but a Lennon Miller double put the hosts 2-1 up. Mark O'Hara missed a penalty to put the Buddies level before Scott Tanser was sent off on what was a frustrating afternoon. 

Saints' last win against Motherwell came in the William Hill Premiership last season with Tanser scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win at Fir Park back in September 2023.

There was VAR drama at Tannadice as Saints were beaten 2-0 by Dundee United in the William Hill Premiership.

The hosts took a late lead through Kevin Holt after being awarded a penalty on 78 minutes after the VAR instructed referee Matthew MacDermid to review the incident at the pitchside monitor. Saints were then reduced to 10 with Marcus Fraser shown a red card in injury time after another VAR intervention before Emmanuel Adegboyega secured the points for United. 

Despite Saints seeing more possession and playing more of the game in the United half, it was the hosts who created the better chances in the early stages. Sam Dalby should have put Jim Goodwin's side ahead when he raced away from the Saints defence to meet a ball over the top from Will Ferry. The forward moved into the box, one-on-one with Ellery Balcombe, but blazed well over the bar. 

United goalkeeper Jack Walton was shown a yellow card on 13 minutes after a late foul on Toyosi Olusanya who had ran on to a Balcombe ball down the left channel. The United stopper raced from his line but wiped out the Saints forward with referee Matthew MacDermid quick to give him a yellow card. A brief VAR check looked to see if the tackle warranted a red card for serious foul play but the decision was that the booking was justified.

The hosts came close to breaking the deadlock when Ferry played a nice one-two with Dalby and surged away from the chasing Saints defenders. His strike came crashing off the post.

Ex-Saint Declan Gallagher made a vital block just after the half-hour mark to deny the Buddies the lead. Tanser's effort looked to be heading off target, but would have found Killian Phillips who was on hand to turn in from close-range had it not been for Gallagher's intervention. 

Saints were dominating the game as the half wore on, but weren't creating enough to worry Walton in the United net. There were big appeals for a penalty with five minutes of the first-half remaining when Conor McMenamin's cross looked to come off the arm of Adegboyega. VAR had a brief look but decided the referee wasn't required a second look and play resumed. 

United were creating the better openings after the restart. Glenn Middleton's low ball found captain David Babunski early in the second-half, but his body shape was all wrong as he turned well wide. Middleton again looked to be the provider when he found Holt on the edge of the area with the defender turning the effort well wide. The home side were inches away from the opener just before the hour mark when Adegboyega headed a corner inches wide of the near post. 

Saints' first real chance of the second 45 came on 63 minutes. Tanser was found inside the box by Olusanya and his ball across was pushed away by Walton. Adeboyega could only turn it out as far as Olusanya who had fashioned the space to get his shot away. Holt got an important foot out to block the goalbound effort. 

With a little over 10 minutes to play, Dundee United were awarded their first penalty of the match. VAR called referee Matthew MacDermid over to the screen when United substitute Holt went down in the box under a challenge from Marcus Fraser. The referee pointed to the spot after the check with Holt slotting home from 12 yards to open the scoring.

United were awarded a second penalty in the final minute of normal time with Fraser once again penalised as Moult fell in the box under pressure from the Saints defender. The referee was once again called to the screen, this time producing a red card to Fraser for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Holt's penalty was this time saved by Balcombe who got two strong hands to turn it behind. But the hosts would add a second from the resulting corner. Balcombe couldn't gather the initial header from Moult and Adegboyega knocking in from close-range.
