Our Scottish Premiership fixture away to Celtic, originally scheduled for Saturday 31st October, has been postponed due to Celtic's involvement in the semi-final of the 2019/20 Scottish Cup.
A new date for the match against Celtic will be announced in due course.
St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Isak Thorvaldsson is the latest player that will #BeInThatNumber after agreeing a season-long loan with Saints.
The 19 year-old Icelandic midfielder joins us on the temporary deal from English side Norwich City. The Canaries retain the option to recall Isak in January.
Capped at U19 level for Iceland, Isak began his career with his local club Afturelding before joining Norwich City in 2017. In January 2020, Isak signed a loan deal with English League One play-off semi-finalists Fleetwood Town.
He becomes our second signing of the afternoon following the announcement of Joe Shaughnessy at 4pm.
Speaking to stmirren.com, Isak said: "I'm really excited to get back to playing after meeting all the boys.
"I spoke to Akin [Famewo] before coming here and he only said positive things about the club. I don't know much about Scottish football but St Mirren seem like a good club to come to and hopefully we'll do well this season.
"I'm an explosive player who likes to get into tackles and fight for the team. I just want to help the team as much as I can and show what I'm capable of."
On the signing, manager Jim Goodwin said: "We've managed to develop a really good relationship with the guys at Norwich and had great success with Akin last season.
"Isak is an Iceland youth international and will probably be in the U21 squad for them when it next comes about.
"He's a midfielder who can do a little bit of everything. He's a physical player but also technically very good and I'm really looking forward to seeing him."
St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce that Joe Shaughnessy will #BeInThatNumber after agreeing a two-year deal with Saints subject to international clearance.
The Irish defender has signed a two-year contract to become Jim Goodwin’s fourth signing of the summer after leaving English League One side Southend United.
The 27-year-old is no stranger to Scottish football having joined Aberdeen as a 16-year-old in 2009. He played 59 times for the Dons in a six-year spell whilst also having spells on loan at Forfar Athletic and Falkirk.
In 2015, following his exit from Aberdeen, Joe signed for St Johnstone. He would make 169 appearances for the Perth Saints in a four-year spell and was named club captain in 2017.
After 10 years in Scotland, Joe left St Johnstone last summer to seek a new challenge in England where he signed for Southend United.
Joe told stmirren.com: "I'm very happy to get everything over the line.
The manager really sold the club to me. His ambition came across really well any time I spoke to him and it made me feel like there is something starting here and I want to be a part of it.
"I had four years at St Johnstone which went really well and time at Aberdeen too. I feel well suited to the Scottish game and hopefully I can bring what I learned in England to here.
Saints manager Jim Goodwin said: "We have been in constant dialogue with Joe since he left Southend United and we are delighted that we have been able to get him signed up.
"He is a fantastic leader and a really good character as well. He's got fantastic experience in the Scottish Premiership already and played a huge part in St Johnstone's success in recent years.
'All these boys we are bringing in fit a certain profile and Joe ticks every box."
Earlier this week we asked supporters to send in their questions for new signings, Richard Tait, Jak Alnwick and Nathan Sheron.
We put a selection of your questions to our new Saints.
Q: What was the biggest selling point for you in coming to St Mirren?
(Nathan Sheron) A: Just the stature of the club and how big the club is. I'd never been to Scotland but I'm looking forward to it.
(Jak Alwnick) A: Just speaking to the gaffer and speaking. to Lee Hodson. It was a club that I had come across in the past with Paul Dummett and Conor Newton coming up here on loan. With no start date in England for coming back I just wanted to get going straight away. The phone call came from the gaffer and said he wanted to come to the club and I knew I wanted to join. I'm buzzing to get started.
(Richard Tait) A: When I met the manager that really swayed my decision. I really liked what he had to say. I think most footballers like to be wanted by a team and St Mirren wanted me so that's why I joined.
Q: What are you most looking forward to in Scottish football?
(Nathan Sheron) A: I'm just looking forward to the whole experience of it. There are some big games but it's all about the competition and the competitiveness of the league.
Q: What are you looking to achieve at St Mirren?
(Nathan Sheron) A: I just want us to finish as high as we can in the table and try and win as many games as possible.
(Jak Alnwick) A: I want to play as many games as possible and get as many clean sheets as possible. My aim to start with is to play every single league game.
(Richard Tait) A: I'd like to get a lot more assists than I have in the past two seasons. I think the season before that I was up there with most in the league so a few more assists would be nice. I'd also like to play as many games as I can and just generally for the team to do well.
Q: How excited are you for the start of the season and how strange will it be without fans?
(Nathan Sheron) A: I can't wait for it. We'll definitely miss the fans but we've just got to focus on each game and know the fans will be supporting us from a distance.
(Jak Alnwick) A: It will be quite strange but pre-season has been better than I thought. It's been fairly normal as far as pre-season goes. We've played a few bounce games with no fans and that prepares us for it, but it will obviously be strange at first. It's something within a game or two I think we will get quite used to and hopefully it's not long before everyone is back in.
Q: If you bring one player that you've already played with to this club, who would it be and why?
(Jak Alnwick) A: Hatem Ben Arfa is the best player I've ever played with. More recently, Armand Gnanduillet at Blackpool. He scored a lot of goals last season but Ben Arfa is the best player I've ever played with.
(Richard Tait) A: Probably Liam Grimshaw at Motherwell because he's my mate. It's a bit of a double-edged sword though as he'd probably be after my position!
Q: Who is the best player you have ever played against?
(Jak Alnwick) A: As a young player it was Paul Pogba. Whenever we would play against Manchester United he was head and shoulders above everybody. As a goalkeeper he was tricky to play against because he'd hit them for everywhere.
As I got older the best player I played against was Eden Hazard. You have seen what he achieved in the English Premier League and he was different class in the way he moved the ball. The two of those players are the best I've played against.
(Richard Tait) A: Wayne Rooney. It was during that phase where they weren't doing great under Louis Van Gaal but he was still unreal.
Q: Which players at St Mirren have impressed you the most?
(Jak Alnwick) A: I think as a whole with the tempo in training it would be really hard to single anyone out. But as a goalkeeper I'm coming up against Jon Obika and Junior Morias most and they've looked really sharp.
(Richard Tait) A: Cammy MacPherson has real potential as does Ethan Erhahon. There are a few young boys in the side that, if they make the right choices and do the right things, could go a long way in football, but all-in-all the whole squad has impressed me.
RICHARD TAIT, JAK ALNWICK AND NATHAN SHERON WILL #BEINTHATNUMBER FOR THE 2020/21 SEASON. WILL YOU? GET YOUR SEASON TICKET NOW!
St Mirren Football Club, long known as The Saints, today launched a search for the outstanding people of the Paisley area who are also deserving of that title.
The Saints In That Number initiative will reward the most deserving community-conscious individuals with a St Mirren FC family season ticket for the new Premiership season soon to start.
The club is asking Buddies to nominate people who in their view help to make Paisley a better place by their selfless acts.
St Mirren FC will provide the initial tranche of these season tickets for the Paisley heroes, but it also looking for local businesses to get involved with the scheme and donate season tickets.
Already Kibble, the specialist child and youth care charity which in January bought 27.8% of the shares in the club, has committed to taking part by providing tickets.
Several Paisley businesses have jumped at the opportunity to join Saints In That Number including Claymore Contracts Ltd and Scotjet Ltd. However, we’re looking for more to get involved.
St Mirren Chief Executive and club legend Tony Fitzpatrick said: "During these recent challenging times, it’s important that the wider community stands in solidarity to support one another as much as possible.
"St Mirren is first and foremost a community club and we are proud of Paisley and its people. So we are pleased to announce the club will donate the first sets of St Mirren FC family season tickets to outstanding keyworkers, NHS workers and other deserving local heroes who have completed selfless acts.
"But we are also inviting Paisley businesses to get involved in the Saints In That Number initiative. In return for their involvement, they will be able to choose the winner of their ticket from the nominations, or indeed nominate their own 'Saints’'"
Nominations can be made via a contact form on stmirren.com, and businesses looking to take part in the scheme should email their details to commercial@stmirren.com.
The countdown is on to the new season, kicking off with a home game against Livingston on Saturday 1st August. There is still time if you haven’t already to renew your season ticket and #BeInThatNumber!

Our Scottish Premiership fixture against Rangers, originally scheduled for Saturday 8th August, has been rearranged.

The new fixture details are below.
Rangers v St Mirren
Scottish Premiership
Venue: Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow
Date: Sunday 9th August 2020
Kick-off: 3:00pm
When 2020/21 St Mirren FC Season Tickets went on sale the club wished to add more value to owning a season ticket by entering supporters into exclusive draws to win some incredible ‘money can’t buy’ prizes.
So far we’ve had a supporter guaranteed that they will be the first person to own our new 2020/21 home strip, while two young supporters will get the chance to the stadium announcers at a match when it is safe to do so and another supporter will have the West Stand named after them for a match next season.
Our latest prize winner will be announced this coming Tuesday (14th July). One lucky winner will be a guest of Jim Goodwin, and a player of their choice, for a visit to St Mirren Park followed by lunch in the hospitality suite.
We’ll have more incredible prizes up for grabs and the only way to ensure you’re in with a chance of winning is to buy your 2020/21 season ticket. Get yours now!
As a club we continue to plan for the new season ahead. The new fixture list for season 2020/21 gives us the opportunity to test ourselves right from the kick-off and this is a challenge the team is looking forward to. Our new signings have settled into training with the team and our testing process is now established. We continue to have no adverse cases affecting any of the squad. Check out the footage of the team in training.
Season ticket sales continue to grow and over 2400 have already been sold. This shows magnificent levels of support from you, the fans, and we are always grateful for your commitment to the club. We confirmed previously that season ticket holders will be able to watch all home games online as part of their season ticket package whilst we have games held behind closed doors or socially distanced. This will be accessed through our new St Mirren TV platform. The club will be contacting season ticket holders in the next few weeks to ensure accurate information is held to allow this to take place as seamlessly as possible.
The new kit is nearly here. The supply chain has been significantly slowed down by the ongoing pandemic, however we anticipate having these in the post w/c 20th July . Thank you all for your patience, we are very nearly there!
We are slowly reintroducing staff back into the stadium in preparation for the new season in a safe and controlled manner. One of the additional benefits of this is that it will allow us to make faster progress in issuing the individual numbers to everyone as part of the Be in that Number Campaign. We have currently issued over 1800 and will be working hard over the next week or so to issue the rest of the numbers.

And finally
With the continued progress towards the return to normality in most of our personal lives and in football we felt it was an appropriate time to make this the last specific Covid-19 update.
As a football club we would not survive without our supporters and never has this been more transparent than over the last 17 weeks.
Because of your support over the last four years and beyond the club continues to be in a solid financial position to get through this crisis and come out the other end even stronger.
Because of your support in buying new season tickets and not asking for refunds on last years, in continuing to pay 1877 club memberships, in pre-ordering our new strip and with the continued support from our commercial sponsors we have had the confidence to start to sign players who will help continue our progress on the pitch and achieve our aim to compete at an even higher level this season. We have also been able to continue our pursuit of Elite level academy status at a time when many clubs have had to consider the future of their own academies.
Because of your support of the St Mirren Charitable Foundation throughout this crisis they were able to provide much needed aid to people in need as well as supporting local residents and charities.
Because of all those SMiSA members who have continued to pay their subscriptions during this time of immense hardship we remain on track to become fan owned in 2021.
Because of all these things, on behalf of The St Mirren Football Club, we humbly thank you all.
#BeInThatNumber
St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Nathan Sheron on a season-long loan from English side Fleetwood Town.
The midfielder joins Saints until the end of the season with his parent club having the option to recall to January.
Nathan played at youth level for Liverpool before turning professional at Fleetwood Town. The 22 year-old made 26 appearances at Fleetwood in League One during the 2018/19 season, while spending a portion of last season on loan at Walsall.
Nathan becomes our third signing of the summer and will wear the number six jersey for the season ahead.
Speaking to stmirren.com after putting pen-to-paper, Nathan said: "I'm really looking forward to it.
I've had nothing but good vibes from the club and it's a really exciting time for myself.
"I got off the phone with the gaffer and he really sold the club to me. It was brilliant and I'm really looking forward to working with him.
"I'm a defensive midfielder. I'll work hard, I'll get myself stuck in and put up a fight."
Saints gaffer Jim Goodwin was delighted with the signing of the 22 year-old and believes he’ll be a hit with the fans.
Nathan is coming to us as a holding midfielder but he can play at centre-half and he has played at right-back in the past also.
"I felt last season that we were missing someone in the middle of the pitch that could be disciplined, that can sit in front of the back four, break things up and be difficult for the opposition to play against.
"He’s got great legs, he’s got great energy and I think the supporters will love what they see.
"Nathan’s a great addition and hopefully another couple more to come after that in the not too distant future."
Nathan Sheron will #BeInThatNumber. Will you? 2020-21 Season Tickets are on-sale now.
