St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Mateo Muzek from Shakhter Karagandy subject to international clearance. 

The 23 year-old Croatian left-back will join Saints until the end of the season. 

Capped for Croatia up to U21 level, Mateo joined Karagandy in 2018 from Azerbaijani side Neftchi Baku and made 30 appearances for the Kazakhstan outfit. 

Following the signing of Anders Dreyer this morning, Mateo becomes our eighth signing in the January transfer window. 

Mateo will be unavailable for selection in tomorrow's match as we await international clearance.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the loan signing of Anders Dreyer until the end of the season.

The Danish winger joins Saints from English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.

Anders began his career with Esbjerg fB and scored 23 goals in 48 games for the Danish Suoerliga outfit. 

That form earned the 20 year-old a move to Brighton in the summer where he has mostly featured for their U23s.

Capped for Denmark up to U21 level, Anders will wear the number 10 shirt and goes into the squad for tomorrow's match against Hibernian.

The Simple Digital Arena plays host to its first Ladbrokes Premiership game of 2019 when Hibernian visit Paisley on Sunday afternoon.

FORM

St Mirren come into Sunday's game on the back of a 4-0 loss against Celtic at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.

A Oliver Burke doubled combined with goals from Scott Sinclair and Timothy Weah gave the league leaders the points.

Hibernian also come into the game on the back of a loss during the week. The Hibees were beaten 1-0 by Motherwell at Fir Park with Well's David Turnbull scoring the only goal.

Hibs' last win in the league came on December 16th when goals from Vykintas Slivka and Florian Kamberi gave them a 2-0 win against Celtic at Easter Road.

Despite midweek defeats, both started 2019 with a Scottish Cup Fourth Round win. St Mirren completed an incredible comeback from 2-0 down to beat Alloa 3-2 last Saturday, while Hibernian defeated League Two side Elgin City 4-0 at Easter Road. 

PREVIOUS

The Buddies and Hibees have already met twice this season.

The Edinburgh side came out on top when they visited the Simple Digital Arena in September. Despite a good showing from Saints, David Gray's early goal was enough to give Neil Lennon's side all three points.

Saints picked up a point in a midweek trip to Easter Road at the start of December. The Buddies led twice thanks to goals from Adam Hammill and Paul McGinn, but Oli Shaw and Ryan Porteous grabbed a goal each to give Hibs a share of the spoils. 

St Mirren's last win against Hibs was at the Simple Digital Arena in March 2017 when a double from Stelios Demetriou gave us a 2-0 victory.

WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN

Wednesday night's defeat to Celtic, coupled with Dundee's win over Hearts, meant that St Mirren dropped to the foot of the table. However, depending on results in tomorrow's matches, Saints could move up to 10th place with a win over the Hibees.

A win for Hibs would see them move up to seventh in league - providing Livingston fail to beat Rangers on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS 

Lee Hodson will be out for Saints following his injury against Celtic at Celtic Park on Wednesday night, with Jim Kellermann and Cody Cooke also doubts. The Buddies are still without Danny Mullen, Kyle Magennis, Danny Rogers, Cammy MacPherson and Gary MacKenzie due to injury.  

Hibernian will be missing Ryan Porteous who picked up an injury in their loss to Motherwell during the week. Martin Boyle is also out for the visitors, while Mark Milligan and Jamie McLaren are at the Asia Cup with Australia.

Paisley Panda will host the ever-popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’ during the half-time break of Sunday’s match against Hibernian.

To take part in ‘Bung a Baw’ fans need to purchase a small foam ball which is numbered and they will then have a chance to throw their ball towards our club mascot Paisley Panda in front of the Family Stand. Each person will have 60 seconds to do this and the winner will be the person who has thrown the ball closest to the feet of the Panda. The winner will be confirmed over the PA system.

The competition is sponsored by Glen-Bun Bakery who are supplying a full tray of yummy cakes as the prize for the contest winner.

Each ball will cost £1 to buy. The balls will be available from sellers inside the Family Stand in the 30 minutes leading up to kick-off and then again in the first 5 minutes of half-time before the competition starts (subject to availability). Each ball is numbered and participants will also get a ticket with the corresponding number which they will use to claim the prize if they win.

‘Bung a Baw’ continues to be very popular so Paisley Panda advises that you get in early on Sunday to purchase your ball to take part.

As well as taking care of ‘Bung a Baw’, Paisley Panda will be giving away sweets to the kids in and around the stadium courtesy of the Black and White Army website.

Also, look out for face painters who will help get youngsters ready for the match.

Paisley Panda is pleased to confirm that ‘First Scorer’ will be back for the game on Sunday against Hibernian.

‘First Scorer’ lets fans predict in advance of the game who they think will score St Mirren's first goal in Sunday’s match against the Hibees.

From all of those who guessed correctly, a winner will be picked at random and they will win a box of a dozen doughnuts which will be delivered to their seat right after the goal is scored!

To enter all you have to do ahead of the game is post your prediction of the first St Mirren scorer on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #Saints1stgoal. The lucky winner will then be contacted to confirm which stand they will be in with the row and seat number so that the prize can be delivered to them.
