Youths get a chance as St Mirren edge past MK Dons
St Mirren completed their training camp in Spain with a 2-1 friendly win over English League Two side MK Idowu and Alex Iacovitti were on target in a morning kick-off at the Pinatar scored his third goal of pre-season in the second minute when he gathered a pass from Jonah Ayunga and managed to squeeze the ball home despite a inadvertently turned a cross into his own net for the MK Dons leveller, but a header from Iacovitti at a corner had the Paisley team back in front before the interval."There was a lot of pleasing stuff," manager Stephen Robinson told club media. "It's been a good week for us."We finished the game with seven academy kids. That will give them a little flavour of the physicality and intensity."When you're an under-18 at St Mirren, you're never too far away from the first team and some have shown they need a little bit more. They need to go on loan, get stronger, maybe their decision-making needs to be quicker."St Mirren have a Tuesday friendly with Airdrie scheduled and open their League Cup campaign away to Arbroath next Saturday.

St Mirren handed opening day trip to champions Celtic amid tough start
The SPFL released the fixtures for next season this morning and the Buddies are off to the east end of Glasgow. St Mirren were today handed a daunting trip to champions Celtic on the opening day of the new Premiership season. After ending the 2024-25 campaign in Glasgow's east end, the Buddies will return to Celtic Park to begin their 2025-26 adventure on Sunday, August 3. There will be a sense of occasion as the Hoops unfurl the champions' flag before the match which is to be shown live on Sky Sports. Saints drew 1-1 when the sides last met as Jonah Ayunga's opener was cancelled out in injury time by James Forrest. The first home game of the season will be on Saturday, August 9, when Jens Berthel Askou's Motherwell visit the SMiSA Stadium. Stephen Robinson's men face three of last season's top six in the opening month of the new term. Russell Martin's Rangers arrive at Greenhill Road on the weekend of Saturday, August 23 with a trip to Hibernian the following weekend. No winter break is planned and, as it stands, there will also be no games in the Premiership on Boxing Day and January 2, 2026. There are five midweek league games planned pre-split at this stage with Saints hosting Hearts on both Wednesday, October 29 and Wednesday, February 4. A trip to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen has been scheduled for Wednesday, December 3. Saints go to Ibrox to face Rangers on Tuesday, December 30 and visit Kilmarnock on Wednesday, February 11. The final pre-split fixture for Robbo will be a replica of the opening day as they travel to Celtic Park on Saturday, April 11. On the opening weekend, there will only be one 3pm game taking place on the Saturday due to TV coverage and European commitments, with Killie hosting Premiership new boys Livingston. Saints' clash with Celtic will be the fifth game played despite Brendan Rodgers' side being champions. Robbo's men are back in pre-season training and face League Two Dumbarton in a friendly next Saturday, June 28, before jetting to Murcia for a Spanish training camp. Meanwhile, former Buddies loan keeper Zach Hemming yesterday completed a move to Sky Bet League Two side Chesterfield from Middlesbrough.
