St Mirren are three days into a training camp at the Pinatar Arena in Spain with Stephen Robinson’s men being put through their paces during the winter break.

The Buddies have been almost two weeks without a competitive match but return to domestic action with a Scottish Cup Fourth Round tie against Queen of the South at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday (20th Jan).

Saints warmed up for that tie with a friendly match against a AFE (Association of Spanish Footballers) Fútbol select side at the Campoamor yesterday afternoon. New signing Hyeokkyu Kwon played the first 45 minutes with Lewis Jamieson netting a first-half brace before Zach Hemming saved a penalty kick. There were a number of changes at the half-time interval as most players were given minutes. One of those was Toyosi Olusanya who made it 3-0 to Saints on the hour mark. AFE Fútbol pulled one back from the penalty spot on 67 minutes and added a second on 82 minutes from a corner but couldn’t find an equaliser.

Stephen Robinson’s side will have further training sessions at the Pinatar Arena at the beginning of the week before travelling back to Scotland on Thursday afternoon.

St Mirren Football Club is happy to announce the loan signing of Hyeokkyu Kwon until the end of the season subject to clearance.

The Korean midfielder joins Saints on the temporary transfer for the remainder of the campaign from cinch Premiership league leaders Celtic.

22-year-old Hyeokkyu joined Celtic in July after agreeing a five-year-deal to move from Busan I-Park in his home country.

With Keanu Baccus away with Australia as part of their Asian Cup squad, manager Stephen Robinson admitted it was an area that he was keen to add to.

Stephen Robinson said: "He’s a player that comes highly recommended. Celtic were very keen for him to come to us which is a complement to the coaching staff here.

"He’s played a lot of games in South Korea and was signed by Celtic for big money. It was an area we needed to strengthen in midfield and with Keanu away at the Asian Cup it was important that we strengthened there.

"We believe that he [Hyeokkyu] will come in and add that strength. He breaks up play really well and he can start play really well for us as well. I’ve had some good conversations with Brendan Rodgers about him and we’re delighted to have him in."

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Alex Greive has joined Dundee United on loan until the end of the season subject to SFA approval.

Alex joins the cinch Championship side for the remainder of the 2023/24 season and links up with ex-Saints boss Jim Goodwin who, ironically, gave the forward his St Mirren debut against Dundee United at Tannadice almost two years ago.

The 24-year-old New Zealand international has made 22 appearances for Saints this season, though only three of those have been starts.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "This opportunity arose for Alex to go and get more game time which was something we felt we couldn’t guarantee him at this moment in time.

"It’s a good chance for him to go and get more playing time and frees up some money for us to potentially add to the squad during the window.

"We wish Alex the best of luck during his time at Dundee United."

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Kieran Offord has joined Stirling Albion on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old links up with the cinch League One side for more valuable game time as he continues his footballing development. 

The forward recently returned from a loan spell at cinch League One side Edinburgh City where he made 19 appearances for the Citizens with two goals and two assists. 

Kieran has made 14 appearances for St Mirren and remains contracted to the club until summer 2025. We wish him the best of luck during his spelling at Stirling Albion.

Our cinch Premiership match away to Ross County will now take place on Tuesday 27th February 2024 with an 8pm kick-off after being selected for Sky Sports coverage.

Saints were originally scheduled to face the Dingwall side at the Global Energy Stadium on Wednesday 28th February, but this has now been moved for live TV coverage.

St Mirren Football Club has exercised our option to recall Kieran Offord from his loan at Edinburgh City.

The 19-year-old signed a new contract with Saints in August 2023 which keeps him at the club until summer 2025 and immediately joined The Citizens on loan to further his football development. 

Kieran - who has made 14 appearances for St Mirren - played 19 times during his spell at the cinch League One side this season. 

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Southampton have exercised their option to recall Thierry Small from his loan.

The 19-year-old made 21 appearances for Saints across two loan spells, with six of those appearances coming this season. 

We thank Thierry for all his efforts during his time at the club and wish him every success in his future career.
