Founded in the year of 1877, a football club of Scottish heritage goes by the name of St Mirren. The SMISA Stadium provides a familiar setting for their home-grown endeavours. Sat upon the Scottish soil, the pitch of St Mirren has seen many a match.
Though not giants in the monetary field of football, according to Transfermarkt, the total market value of the St Mirren's playing squad rounds about £5m.
Composed of a troupe totalling 25 players, the Saints as they are less officially known, house a relatively youthful team, their average age sitting at a sprightly 26. This rather moderate number of players does not, however, restrict their competitive vigour.
On the contrary, the Saints of St Mirren, in this current season, have plunged themselves into not one, but two competition waters. They sit comfortably in 4th place within the Premiership, whilst also having demonstrated their mettle in the League Cup, reaching as far as the Semi-Finals.
