St Mirren ended their pre-season preparations with a comfortable victory away to Airdrieonians. 

Mikael Mandron's scored a brace with a goal in each half ensuring a 2-0 win for the Buddies ahead of our Premier Sports Cup campaign getting underway on Saturday.

Saints controlled the match from the outset and could have found the net sooner than our 15th minute opener. Roland Idowu passed up an early chance when he shot into the side-netting after the Airdrieonians goalkeeper Cade Melrose spilled Jayden Richardson's low cross. The Diamonds stopper was called into action three minutes later as he made a good save to push away Killian Phillips' strike from 20 yards. Scott Tanser's ball over the top found Declan John who came inside before playing the ball to James Scott inside the area. Scott took one touch to lay it off for Ireland international Phillips who saw his effort saved. 

The Buddies would go ahead on 15 minutes when Mandron got on the end of Marcus Fraser's low pass and reversed his shot beyond Melrose to break the deadlock. 

Mandron should have added his and Saints' second 10 minutes before the break. The forward was fouled in the area and he stepped up to the spot after referee Matthew MacDermid awarded a penalty. Mandron was denied from 12 yards though as Melrose went the right way and got two strong hands behind it to push away. 

Airdrieonians hadn't caused any real issues before Peter Urminsky was forced into a good save three minutes after the restart to deny Jamie Barjonas. 

Saints were still in control and came close to a second when Mandron saw a low effort saved by Melrose a minute later before Richardson fired over from close-range. The second goal would come when Mandron got himself between two opposition defenders and bulleted home John's terrific ball in from the left to see out pre-season with a win.

Competitive action gets underway on Saturday as Stephen Robinson's men go to Gayfield to face Arbroath in our Group D opener in the Premier Sports Cup.

Stephen Robinson Post-Airdrieonians

Jamaican international Richard King has arrived at St Mirren after agreeing a two-year deal with Saints. 

The defender signed a deal until summer 2027 with the club holding an option to extend for a further year. He officially joined up with the Buddies last week following the conclusion of Jamaica's participation in the Concacaf Gold Cup.

Visa approval has now been received for the 23-year-old, however, he will not feature in tonight's friendly against Airdrieonians. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, Richard said: "I'm very excited to get working with the boys and the coaches. 

"It feels like a good place to be. There are some good lads and some nice people.

From my little time here, I can see the team is like a family. Everyone is close, really works together so I think it's really nice here. I know I'm in a good place."
