Out in the Scottish greenlands, St Mirren have been making their mark on the football world since the year of our Lord 1877. Their hallowed ground is The SMISA Stadium, a fine establishment for the beautiful game, nestled in the heart of Scotland proper.
You may be interested to learn that according to Transfermarkt, these hardy Saints' squad has an estimated total market value in the ballpark of £7m. Not an insignificant figure, you will surely agree. Indeed, it demonstrates a certain level of financial prowess and responsibility from the club's management.
The band of brothers that don the black and white of St Mirren number at 27, with an average age of 26 - a balanced mix of youthful vigour and wily experience. Individually, they may be but men. Together, they are a machine.
St Mirren's campaign this season spreads over three stages of competition. The collective efforts of our gallant Paisley men have secured a 10th place standing in the Premiership, battled through to the final in the League Cup, and fell just short of glory, reaching the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. In each case, it's clear that St Mirren are scoring goals, but also that there is still work to be done. Football is, after all, a game that is never fully won. But, that, my friends, is another tale for another day.
