According to a very reliable source I can today confirm that the first signing Alan Stubbs will make as St Mirren manager is that of striker Jason Gilchrist.

Craig Brewster has applied to be the next St Mirren manager

As I posted last week Luke Garrard will be the next St Mirren manager according to a very reliable source in the big smoke.

Just received an electronic mail message from a very reliable source informing me that at least 2 players will be signing for St Mirren in January. Jack Ross has already spoken to the 2 lads and both should sign by Friday at the latest. The players in question are former Republic of Ireland internationalist Sean St Ledger, the other is Danilson da Cruz who has been training with St Mirren over the last week.

A reliable source informs me that striker Jean Paul Farrugia will be play as a trialist against Partick Thistle on Saturday. He has recently left his current club Sliema Wanderers in Malta. I have just literally received this information on a SMS, so will post more information as soon as I have it for you.

Shouldn't have squad numbers, should go back to the traditional 1 to 11

Brechin City v Dundee United Dumbarton v Inverness Caledonian Thistle Dunfermline v Morton Livingston v Falkirk Queen Of The South v Saint Mirren

I did say he would be staying, and we can expect an announcement in the next few days confirming the signing of Samson Jegede,.

Jack Ross isn't going anywhere, in fact a colleague in Bulgaria phoned me last night to say he has received a telex on Sunday telling him that Jack Ross is in the process of signing a Nigerian centre forward called Samson Jegede. I am told that he will be signing later this week.

I received a fax today from a very reliable source who informs me that Jack Ross is already targeting 4 new signings for next season, these are Gary Mickelborough (a striker), David Basa (a defender), Thibaut Van Acker (a midfielder) and Dion Charles (also a midfielder) As soon as I get more information I will update you, but only found out about this an hour or so ago.

They will bring back John Brown

Clyde FC are a disgrace to Scottish football for signing the rapist David Goodwillie.

We remember calling Peter Godfrey the nickname Basil because of his resemblance to the character Basil Fawlty, there are many more former St Mirren players who had famous look-a-likes, for example: Paul McGowan – Kevin Bacon Tom Brown – Jim Diamond Tony Fitzpatrick – Eric Knowles Tommy Turner – Barry Elliott Mark Reilly – Martin Gore Brian Martin – Father Nolan Billy Thomson – Christopher Dean Tom Hendrie – Chris De Burgh John Sutton – Harry Dodson

It is embarrassing we are using TTL. Their website is laughable, (ok, they do 3 league clubs but they are all smaller clubs than St Mirren) but their main income is from youth clubs and schools. It's the type of place a works team would order their kit from, we should have a bespoke kit and not some 2-bit effort from a catalogue. Pathetic cheap choice and we will be the laughing stock of Scottish football with next season.

I cannot reveal my sources on this occasion
