Manager Stephen Robinson

Tunmise Sobowale joins until summer 2027


St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Tunmise Sobowale from Swindon Town.

The 26-year-old right wing-back becomes our latest summer signing as he joins Saints on a two-year deal that keeps him at the club until summer 2027. 

Born in Ireland, Tunmise began his career at his hometown club Waterford. He would move to Spain in 2018 to join Hércules before returning to Ireland with Finn Harps.

Tunmise rejoined Waterford in 2020 where he played with Roland Idowu and Richard Taylor. His form at the Irish side saw him win a move to Shrewsbury Town where he again played with Idowu, before joining Swindon Town last summer where he made 44 appearances. 

Speaking to stmirren.com after completing his signing, Tunmise said: "I’m really excited.

I spoke to the gaffer and saw how close everyone is and how tight it is as a club. That was something I loved to see and I’m excited to be a part of it.

"I’ve spoken to some players that were previously here and they’ve had nothing but good things to say about the club.

"I think it is the perfect place for me to play my football right now and to enjoy it. I want to now do the best I can for myself and the club."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "We believe Tunmise has real quality in terms of his athleticism, his pace and his energy.

"He’s coming in to compete with Jayden [Richardson] for a place in the team. He can play at right-sided centre-half or as a real attacking right wing-back with his pace. It’s another bit of competition which we need in the squad."

Alcohol Licence granted for match against Ayr United


St Mirren FC can confirm that our home Premier Sports Cup match against Ayr United at The SMiSA Stadium on Sunday 27th July has been granted an alcohol licence by Renfrewshire Council. 

Alcohol will be available for home fans in the designated zone within the West Stand concourse from 1pm to 2:45pm (last orders 2:30pm). These sales are being conducted under strict licensing conditions and supported by additional security and stewarding. All alcohol must be consumed in the clearly marked fanzone and not in sight of the pitch. Entry is available only to West Stand ticket holders with a maximum capacity of 150. 

This initiative will assess the impact of controlled alcohol sales on the overall fan experience, while maintaining a safe and family-friendly stadium environment.

St Mirren Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley said: "We are delighted to be taking part in this project.

Adding to the matchday experience for our supporters is really important to us as a club."

Visitor Information

  • Electronic Ticketing System

    At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.

    The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:

    • On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
    • Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
    • Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
    • Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.

    The whole process will only take a few seconds.

    Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

  • Street Parking on Matchday

    The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.

    Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.

    Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.

    St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.

  • Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day

    We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

    Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

    Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street.

Luke Kenny joins Arbroath on loan


St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Luke Kenny has joined Arbroath on loan until the end of the season.

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate joins the Red Lichties for season 2025/26 with Saints having the option to recall in January. 

Following the successes of Fraser Taylor and Callum Penman on loan at the Angus side last season, Luke is the latest to join the William Hill Championship club in a bid to aid his development with the aim of coming back to compete for a first-team place at Saints.

The 21-year-old defender made his Scottish Premiership debut last season as a substitute in our 3-2 win away to St Johnstone in December and made further appearances in our Scottish Cup Fifth Round tie against Hearts as well as our 5-1 win over Kilmarnock in March.

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate has made five first-team appearances during his time at the Buddies and had a successful loan spell at NIFL Premiership side Cliftonville during 2023/24 where he was part of their Irish Cup winning squad.

We wish Luke the best of luck during his time at Arbroath.
