St Mirren are in competitive action this weekend as the Premier Sports Cup gets underway on Saturday.
Stephen Robinson's men host Arbroath at the SMiSA Stadium as the 2022/23 season begins.
Saints have played three pre-season friendlies in the lead up to Saturday's match - defeating Crusaders (3-0) and Linfield (2-1) during a training camp in Northern Ireland before hosting Northampton Town at the SMiSA Stadium on Tuesday night.
New signings Trevor Carson, Declan Gallagher, Ryan Strain, Mark O'Hara, Toyosi Olusanya and Jonah Ayunga are all in line to make their debuts for the Saints on Saturday, but the Buddies still await the arrival of Australian midfielder Keanu Baccus.
Arbroath faced Angus sides Brechin and Montrose in their build-up to Saturday's match. Dick Campbell's side will be looking to build on a successful year last season where they finished second in the cinch Championship - just agonisingly missing out on promotion to the top-flight.
