Digby Brown Solicitors continue principal sponsorship of St Mirren

Digby Brown Solicitors is set to continue its principal sponsorship of St Mirren Football Club for the third year in a row.

The announcement extends the original plan for a two-year deal with the Paisley team.

The personal injury firm said it was delighted to commit to another year with Saints after being impressed with not only the team's performance in achieving top six but also the club’s commitment to community, inclusivity, and equality.

Today’s announcement continues their commitment to the historic kit deal which saw the Women's team and boy's academy wearing the same strip as the Men’s first-team – believed to be a first in top flight Scottish football history.

Keith Lasley, Chief Operating Officer at St Mirren FC, said: "We’re delighted that Digby Brown are extending their partnership with the club.

Both Digby Brown and St Mirren share many values in terms of the promotion of our people within our businesses and the focus on our people’s development.

"We hope we can both help each other grow and continue what has been a successful relationship so far."

Fraser Oliver, Chief Executive at Digby Brown, said: "When we first agreed to sponsor St Mirren, we were still partly in lockdown and looking to find new ways of marketing the Digby Brown brand.

It was completely new territory for us but here we are at the end of two seasons - we don’t feel ready to walk away yet.

"The whole team at St Mirren have been brilliant in this second season, not just the players but everyone in the business – we have done great things together.

"At Digby Brown we take pride in knowing we are one team, and the passion of fans and the surrounding community is something that really resonates with everyone here at the firm.

"We still feel like there is more to achieve together and we look forward to another successful season as principal sponsors with St Mirren."

We entered our first year of sponsorship with Digby Brown in 2021, with the firm’s logo featuring on all home and away jerseys.

The 2022/23 season saw massive demand for the black Paisley-patterned away top which had eager Buddies queuing around The SMiSA Stadium. The strip was also a favourite of hit-maker DJ Ewan McVicar who was involved in its launch and proudly wore the new jersey every night at his summer Ibiza gigs.

Last year the bond between Digby Brown and the Saints was on display as First Men’s Team - Alex Greive, Scott Tanser and Greg Kiltie – attended the firm’s annual Spinal Injuries Scotland BBQ and Activities Day.

The players were able to engage and experience first-hand how the firm supports the spinal cord injury community through adaptive sports.

The firm also hosted a bumper giveaway of three highly sought after away shirts which were presented to the winning Buddies at The SMiSA Stadium in December 2022.


Up Next: Hibernian v St Mirren (6th May)

St Mirren return to cinch Premiership action this weekend as we head into the final five matches of the season.

Saints achieved a first top six finish in the current format after picking up 44 points from the first 33 matches and ensured a highest top-flight finish since 1985. Now focus is on the race for a European spot as the Buddies travel to Easter Road on Saturday sitting level on points with opponents Hibernian.

Hibernian sit in fifth place by virtue of goal difference and a fifth place finish could be enough for a European spot this season if Celtic are to beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup Final. 

Both sides will also be aiming to close the gap on fourth place Hearts who are four points ahead.

Previous

In three meetings between the sides this season, St Mirren have won one and lost two. 

Keanu Baccus scored the only goal when Saints defeated Hibernian 1-0 on a sunny August afternoon at The SMiSA Stadium.

The Hibees were 3-0 winners when the Buddies visited Easter Road back in October. And Lee Johnson's men took the bragging rights again when the sides faced at The SMiSA Stadium in February with Elie Youan netting a late winner in the last meeting of the two. 

Saturday's match comes six years to the day of our famous 1-1 draw with Hibernian at Easter Road with Rory Loy's goal seeing us complete our great escape and ensure our Championship status in 2017.

Club exercises option to extend Richard Taylor's contract

St Mirren Football Club can confirm it has exercised an option to extend Richard Taylor’s contract for a further two years - keeping him at the club until summer 2025. 

Richard joined initially on a six-month deal in January with the club holding the option to extend further which has now been taken up. 

A left-sided defender, Richard signed for Saints following the expiry of his contract at League of Ireland Division One side Waterford and made his debut in a 1-1 draw with Hearts at the beginning of January. The 22-year-old then impressed in his first start at Tynecastle against the Jambos less than a week later. 

Richard has gone on to make eight appearances for the first-team so far this season and is now committed to the club for the next two seasons. 

Manager Stephen Robinson told stmirren.com: "Richard has come in and been fantastic in the games he has played. He’s stepped up to the level in games against Celtic and Hearts, and in the longer term, I think he's a very good addition to our squad.

He’s someone we are constantly working on, he’s someone who wants to learn and he’s still only young.

"He’s left-footed which gives us more balance on that side of defence and he can play at left-back as well.

"He’s six foot two and he’s quick as well as being very composed on the ball and going forward he gives us a few more options playing out from the back."

St Mirren Women draw in final home match of the season

It's a great day for the families and that's what is important at St Mirren. We're inclusive and make these days matter to everybody."

St Mirren Women's final home match of the season took place at The SMiSA Stadium on Sunday.

Six big wins in our quest for top six

St Mirren secured a highly coveted top six spot for the first time in the current league format and ensured a highest top-flight finish since 1984/85.

12 wins and eight draws saw Stephen Robinson's side pick up 44 points from 33 cinch Premiership matches.  

We take a look at six of our best and most important wins in our quest to finish top six.

Dundee United 0-3 St Mirren

After picking up a first cinch Premiership win of the season at home to Ross County the previous week, Saints travelled to Tannadice to face Dundee United in our second away match in the league. 

Curtis Main scored his first goals of the season when he netted either side of half-time to have the Buddies two ahead before substitute Alex Greive put the seal on the victory in stoppage time as Saints left the City of Discovery with all three points.

St Mirren 2-0 Celtic

An inspired performance saw St Mirren defeat Celtic 2-0 at the SMiSA Stadium and inflict a first league defeat on the league leaders in almost a year. 

Saints hosted a Celtic side that had won their opening six league fixtures including an impressive 4-0 derby win over their rivals Rangers in the previous league game.

Ange Postecoglou’s side showed up in Paisley looking to make it a full calendar year undefeated in the cinch Premiership, but walked away from the SMiSA Stadium empty-handed as goals from Mark O’Hara and Jonah Ayunga gave us our first home league victory over the Hoops since that famous 4-0 win in March 2010.

St Mirren 2-1 Livingston

St Mirren moved into third place in the cinch Premiership on matchday eight after a dramatic late victory over Livingston at the SMiSA Stadium. 

The Buddies broke the deadlock on 69 minutes when Keanu Baccus scored his second Saints goal. But Jonah Ayunga was shown a red card and Livingston were awarded a penalty with less than 15 minutes remaining. Sean Kelly missed from the spot as he sent his penalty kick over the bar.

It looked like 10-men Saints would have to settle for a point when Livingston drew level, but Alex Greive - late back from international duty from New Zealand - climbed off the bench to score an injury-time winner to give Saints all three points. 

Aberdeen 1-3 St Mirren

The Buddies made a midweek trip to Pittodrie in February to face Aberdeen on the back of a 1-0 win over Motherwell at the SMiSA Stadium. 

Both sides boasted a victory over each other with Aberdeen winning 4-1 at Pittodrie in August, while Saints were 3-1 victors on Christmas Eve in Paisley. 

It was Saints who would take the bragging rights in this encounter after a Curtis Main double and Declan Gallagher's first St Mirren goal saw us win our first league match at Pittodrie since 2011. 

St Mirren 3-0 Livingston

Stephen Robinson's men hosted Livingston at the SMiSA Stadium at the beginning of April in a big top six showdown.

Saints went into the match sitting in seventh place - a point behind Livingston in sixth and knew anything but a win would keep the Lions in the driving for a top six spot heading into the final three matches before the split. 

A first-half blitz saw the Buddies blow Livingston away with a Mark O’Hara brace - both from the penalty spot - coming either side of Tony Watt’s first St Mirren goal giving us a 3-0 win and moving us into the top six.

Hearts 0-2 St Mirren

A week after our big win over Livingston, Saints travelled through to Edinburgh to take on fellow top six side Hearts at Tynecastle. 

Saints hadn't won in Gorgie since 2013, but a terrific performance - capped off by goals from Curtis Main and Alex Gogic - saw us take a well deserved three points to all but confirm our spot in the top six. 


Post-split

Stephen Robinson's men will start the split with a trip to Easter Road to face Hibernian on Saturday 6th May.  

The Buddies will then face Hearts at the SMiSA Stadium on Saturday 13th May, before an away trip to Celtic a week later.

Despite having already visited Pittodrie twice this season, Saints will head to the Granite City again on Wednesday 24th May to face Aberdeen in our final away fixture of the season. This fixture has been reversed by the SPFL to achieve the 19/19 home/away balance. 

Finally, Saints close out the season at home to Rangers on Saturday 27th May.
