We have a number of our players out on loan at clubs across Scotland. Here's a look at how some of them got on at the weekend.
In the cinch Premiership, Eamonn Brophy played 90 minutes as 10-men Ross County were beaten 2-0 at home to Motherwell.
Jay Henderson scored the winner for Inverness Caledonian Thistle as they came from behind to defeat Ayr United 2-1 at Somerset Park. It was the 20-year-old's third goal for the Caley Jags as they moved to within five points of the promotion play-offs. Toyosi Olusanya was also in cinch Championship action with the forward playing 59 minutes for Arbroath in their 0-0 draw away to Hamilton Academical on Friday night.
Dean McMaster played 30 minutes for Airdrieonians after replacing player-manager Rhys McCabe as a substitute in the Diamonds' 3-2 loss away to Queen of the South. The loss sees Aidrieonians remain two points off a promotion play-off spot.
A difficult afternoon for Cowdenbeath saw Ewan Thomson sent off for the Blue Brazil in their 3-0 loss to Celtic B in the Lowland League.
Kibble's new sponsorship agreement with St Mirren Women’s team is a multi-year deal, which will enhance the team’s day-to-day operations as the Scottish Women’s League One side seek to reach Scotland’s top-flight in the years ahead.
The move is hoped to encourage greater participation and access to the game for women and girls across the local community.
Kate Cooper, St Mirren Women’s Head Coach, said: "It is an extremely exciting time for women and girls’ football in Scotland, with its growing coverage, participation and reach into our communities, so we‘re really proud to be announcing this new deal.
It is fantastic for our club to have Kibble’s long-term support and this sponsorship deal creates a win-win for us all as we look forward to the continual growth and development of our partnership.
"I know there will be common areas we can help each other on, so I have no doubt this initial deal will be the beginning of a much wider positive impact we can help make to our local communities."
Kibble became part-owners of St Mirren Football Club in March 2020 alongside the St Mirren Independent Supporters Trust (SMiSA). The partnership is believed to be the first of its kind in the UK, creating the only fan-owned top flight club which is also run in partnership with one of the country’s biggest charities.
The pairing has allowed Kibble to expand their young workforce development programme and improve the future prospects of young people by creating new training and employment options to help them gain important skills and qualifications. From becoming ball attendants at matches to renovating the club’s hospitality entrances as well as receiving support to maintain independent living, young people are learning the various skills and experience required for employment across the club and the wider world of work.
The charity’s sponsorship of the Women’s team marks the next step in the dynamic partnership and Mark Macmillan, Director of Corporate Services at Kibble, said: "We recognise the valuable role played by St Mirren Women and Girls’ Academy in motivating a younger generation of players and we want to support the work they do.
"Through our sponsorship, we aim to support the team’s aspirations and encourage more girls to join the youth team and hopefully progress through to the Women’s team for many years to come.
We want to help St Mirren to continue to provide first-class youth development and further increase opportunities for young people to enjoy sport and fitness, experiencing the benefits of regular exercise while learning about skills in teamwork, patience and problem-solving."
Together with St Mirren, Kibble continue to strive towards their ambition of addressing local deprivation and exclusion through youth employment, community engagement, initiatives, and activities.
The manager gives his reaction to today's loss to Celtic in the cinch Premiership.
St Mirren fell to defeat against Celtic at the SMiSA Stadium with a first-half red card for Charles Dunne leaving Saints too much to do in the second-half.
The Buddies took an early lead when Mark O'Hara put us in front from the penalty spot. But defender Dunne was shown red on 38 minutes for denying Kyogo Furuhashi a goalscoring opportunity. And Celtic made the most of their man advantage in the second-half; scoring five goals to take the points.
Stephen Robinson was able to welcome Keanu Baccus and Alex Greive back into the starting 11 after injury. They were the only two changes from the side that drew 1-1 with St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park last weekend as they came in for Ryan Flynn and Tony Watt.
St Mirren got off to the perfect start after being awarded a penalty following a VAR check. Referee David Dickinson was advised to check the pitchside monitor after a handball from Greg Taylor and Saints captain O'Hara scored his third goal against Celtic this season from 12 yards to put us ahead.

While Celtic were seeing most of the possession, Saints were resolute with the away side's first real chance not coming until 23 minutes when Marcus Fraser's loose clearance fell to Reo Hatate on the edge of the box and his ferocious effort flew just over the bar. Five minutes later, Trevor Carson made his first save of the match as he made a super one-handed stop push Jota's effort over after the Celtic man had weaved his way into the Saints box.
As the first-half approached its final few minutes St Mirren were reduced to 10 men when Dunne was shown a straight red card for denying Kyogo a goalscoring opportunity. Initially Celtic were awarded a penalty, but a VAR check ruled the foul took place outside the box and a free-kick was given instead. The ball was laid off to Celtic's captain Callum McGregor and his powerful strike was brilliantly blocked by Fraser as Saints went into the break in-front.
Celtic levelled 11 minutes into the second 45 though when Jota squeezed home from close range to make it 1-1. The winger was sliding in alongside Kyogo to try and meet an Aaron Mooy low ball into the area. The first was blocked by Carson but Jota got a touch when the ball came back out to equalise despite Strain's efforts to clear before it crossed the line. The visitors then took the lead just after the hour mark when Alastair Johnston met Mooy's free-kick at the far post to bundle home.
Joe Shaughnessy and Tony Watt were introduced for Saints not long after Johnston's goal, but Celtic would score twice in two minutes to put the game beyond doubt. Liel Abada added the third on 70 minutes before the Israeli turned provider for Matt O'Riley who netted on 72 minutes.
VAR awarded Celtic a penalty on 81 minutes when substitute Heyongyu Oh went down under the challenge of Alex Gogic. It was Oh who stepped up to take and he made it 5-1 to the visitors.

Following a review by the officials of our previous home fixture against Celtic back in September, as well as all available options, referee David Dickinson and the SPFL have requested that we play in our away kit in today's match against Celtic. Celtic will play in their third kit.
In the referee's view, this is the best possible option as any other variation would present a potential clash.
It's home action for Saints on Sunday as we host Celtic in the cinch Premiership.

A number of changes have been made to our parking protocol at the SMiSA Stadium this season.
The three zones (Red, Black and White) are explained and shown on the diagram below.
Red Zone - South
For hospitality and home disabled supporters (subject to availability).
To enter/exit Greenhill Road. Hospitality ticket to be shown for entry.
Black Zone - Southwest
For Family Stand and Main Stand Patrons.
To enter/exit via Drums Avenue.
White Zone - West
For West Stand Patrons and Pay on the Day. Home disabled supporters in bays behind West Stand. Away disabled supporters in bays behind the dome. If parking in the West Stand area please take note of the new driver notice signs which ask drivers to remain in the parking bays until footfall is reduced.
To enter/exit via Ferguslie Park Avenue.
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:
The whole process will only take a few seconds.
Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.
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.
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.
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.
BY RAIL
Get train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Paisley St James – exit from the station is straight onto Greenhill Road where the stadium is facing you. To plan your journey by rail with Scotrail please click HERE.
BY BUS
Most buses will stop at Paisley Cross or Mill Street, from both you will see the Paisley Town Hall. 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. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Previous
Saints inflicted Celtic's only domestic defeat so far this season back in September with goals from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga giving us a 2-0 win over the league leaders.
There have been two meetings between the two in 2023 so far - both at Celtic Park. Celtic won 4-0 in the cinch Premiership in January and 5-1 in the Scottish Cup in February but the scorelines were harsh on a Saints side that competed well on both occasions.
