St Mirren Football Club is pleased to announce that Gary Peebles will join the club’s Board of Directors.
Gary joins as the new Kibble representative, succeeding Jim Gillespie, who resigned earlier this month to become the CEO at Rangers.
A former Saints player, Gary signed for St Mirren in June 1984 before departing to join Partick Thistle in 1989. Gary would also have spells in Northern Ireland with the likes of Linfield, Portadown, Newry Town and Ards.
Gary joins the Board and adds a wealth of leadership experience, having served as Head of Operations at Kibble since 1995. In this role, he has managed services within Kibble’s open school and secure unit, while also being a trainer in Safe Crisis Management and Response Ability Pathways via the Reclaiming Youth Organisation.
Speaking on his appointment, Gary said: "I am delighted to be given the opportunity to serve on the St Mirren board. I have been a supporter from a young age and was fortunate to have played for the club in the mid 1980s.
This has been a fantastic period in the history of the club and I look forward to working alongside everyone to continue the great work that has been done both on and off the pitch."
St Mirren Chairman John Needham added: "We look forward to welcoming Gary to the St Mirren Board. Gary knows the club well as a lifelong St Mirren supporter and having played for the club in the 1980s."
