St Mirren, a product of the Victorian era, was initiated in the year 1877 and have, since then, been hosting their rivals from the SMISA Stadium, affectionately located in Scotland's heartland.
Though not as high-profile as their erstwhile 'Old Firm' compatriots, the Buddies exhibit a modest valour in the form of their playing squad. This squadron, evaluated at around £6m (or thereabouts), is according to Transfermarkt, is a formidable force when taking into account the maelstrom of football finance.
The black and white striped outfit employs a platoon of 25 players who continue the club's legacy with vigour. With an average age of 26, these lads are agile youths with the potential to etch their name in St Mirren's illustrious annals.
For the current season, the Buddies are marking their presence felt in two competitions. They have exhibited, thus far, an appreciable performance by securing the 8th position in the Premiership while thriving through to the final of the League Cup.
