Full history of the St Mirren kit, from 1877 until today

A detailed history of the evolution of the club badge.

Abercorn F.C. were from the East of Paisley and for the first 20 years of football in the town were the biggest club. Like Saints, they were founder members of the Scottish league, but would be defunct within a few decades of this promising beginning. What happened to them?

In the early days of football in the town, as well as Saints and Abercorn, Paisley had several football clubs including Dykebar FC. Read about them here.

The greatest XI as voted for on twitter in 2019 after over 5000 votes. Who makes the cut?

In 2001 with Saints fighting relegation from the SPL, a South American agent who was originally from Paisley contacted manager Tom Hendrie and told him Ronaldinho was open to moving to Saints. This is what happened.

The performance of every Saints manager compared against each other. Some will surprise you……………………………

The 2020 version of The Natural Order

If you gave points at the end of each season based on performance to every club that took part in Scottish Football, where would Saints find themselves? (Original 2018 version)

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO OPEN THE CHAPTER

Chapter One. Pre-season and the League Cup Group.

Saints dispense of Oran Kearney’s services and appoint Jim Goodwin, but the team struggle in an easy League Cup group.

Chapter Two. August 2019.

Saints kick off the Premiership season after Goodwin makes a number of signings.

Chapter Three. September 2019.

The season continues but good form is hard to find for Saints new boss.

Chapter Four. October 2019.

The struggle goes on as a relegation battle looks increasingly likely for the rest of the season.

Chapter Five. November 2019.

Saints sink to the bottom of the table as the lack of wins really starts to show, however performances start to improve.

Chapter Six. December 2019.

The improvement continues as Saints pick up 8 points in the month and put in a number of excellent performances.

Chapter Seven. January 2020.

The winter break allows Goodwin a chance to improve the squad with Conor McCarthy and Jamie McGrath arriving from Irish football but Kirk Broadfoot bizarrely buys his contract out to return to Kilmarnock.

Chapter Eight, Part I. February 2020, 1st – 12th February.

A run of draws Saints back into relegation trouble as injuries begin to pile up.

Chapter Eight, Part II. February 2020, 13th – 29th February.

Saints are victorious after an incredible Scottish Cup tie at Fir Park and follow this up by winning again at Motherwell in the league, but relegation fears still persist. The spread of COVID-19 begins to prompt the possibility of sporting suspensions.

Chapter Nine, March 2020.

Injury ravaged Saints faced Hearts in what increasingly looked like a match we had to win to avoid automatic relegation with the cancellation of football due to COVID-19 imminent.
