Stephen Robinson has emerged as a reported candidate for the Sunderland job📰 It would be more of a surprise if clubs didn't take notice of his success at St Mirren. Robinson is settled at St Mirren, would expect he'd want to take his well-earned shot in Europe✈️

Signed for nothing, sold for six figures 💰 Evidence of a transfer model working - especially when the player wanted to leave. Stephen Robinson has room to manoeuvre to sign replacement with funds as well. Sensible business 🤝

St Mirren can confirm that James Bolton has joined Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee. Despite signing a one-year contract extension in February, James made clear his desire to move back to England for family reasons. We thank James for his contributions and wish him well.

Boyd-Munce was 'struggling' with a hamstring issue on Thursday. Adeniran also took a knock so is a doubt for St Mirren against Dundee Utd. F. Taylor had stitches in his leg but is hopeful of playing. Stephen Robinson suggested the line-up would be much-changed at Tannadice.

Fraser Taylor gained invaluable experience on loan. A real breakout season for him. No reason to suggest it’ll be any different for Kieran. Young players need game time, Stephen Robinson has strong contacts in Northern Irish game. Solid move. This is exactly right 👇

Having seen Fraser Taylor step up in his season with Ballymena, and needing a good loan move with some consistent football, this feels like a very sensible loan. Smash it Kieran 🙌🏻
