It is my understanding that Jack Ross will be signing a new striker early next week, this morning I received an electronic mail from a very reliable source, and according to the reporter who sent me the message then I am led to believe that Jack Ross is mulling over 5 strikers who are all currently plying their trades in English non-league football and are prolific goalscorers, the players in question are: Connor Coyne Lheureux Menga Dominic Knowles Ollie Phillipson-Masters Ashley Miller I can guarantee that one of the above players will definitely be signing for St Mirren next week.

I received a text on my cell phone this morning from a very reliable source who informs me that a trialist will be listed in the squad for both the Falkirk and QOS matches. His name is David Fleurival and can play both in defence and midfield, he has played in both the French and Belgian leagues and is very experienced and is keen on a move to Scotland.

Since the formation of St Mirren FC in 1877, no fewer than 114 players whose first name is John have played for the starting 11.

From what I a led to believe the first signing by Jack Ross as St Mirren manager will be Kenton Richardson who will be joining St Mirren on loan until January.

I know for a fact Jack Ross is interested in coming back to St Mirren as manager. Alex Rae is 11/4 on for being sacked before Christmas according to the bookmakers online. If Alex was to leave then these then there are others who will put their name forward and these include John Hughes Justin Merritt Mixu Paatelainen David Flitcroft

Garry Marshall, used to listen to him on Radio Clyde when Ross King was a DJ there too

His photo on the official website makes him look like Jason Lee

Sad to report that Billy Clabby has given up football due to a serious injury, but on abrighter note he has now started his own antiques restoration business based in Portstewart with his missus Cecily-Rose, for those who are interested.

I wouldn't kick Theresa May out of bed

The new Hearts away top is as gay as a window

According to a source Alex Rae will be playing at least one trialist on Saturday away to Livingston, from what I can fathom there are 2 players that Alex is mulling over, these I can reveal are Zaza Georgie Elbakidze (yes that is his real name), and also Steve Leslie, both are midfielders.

rules are rules

I am told that Dougie Imrie is coming back to St Mirren on a 6 month loan deal. Expect the signing to happen no later than Thursday.

My son wanted the pink Scotland away top and I said wait to the new Saints home top is revealed thankfully he loves the new Saints top, so will buy him that instead of the Scotland "friend of Dorothy" away top

If the club want the new top to sell exceptionally well then they should keep the 30th anniversary theme going by selling it at 1987 prices rather than the astronomical figure of £50

Never remove the tablecloth unless the portcullis has reached the span bolster

9th July away to Stirling Albion I have been informed has been pencilled in as our only friendly match.

One of my contacts in the big smoke has told me that St Mirren will be signing Kyron Farrell on loan until January from Millwall. He is an Irish U21 midfielder. Expect confirmation of the signing by the club no later than Friday

One can reveal that Div is correct that John Sutton will indeed be playing in black and white next season, but it will be with Grimsby Town.

The opening day fixtures have been leaked to me by a reliable source, they are: Ayr United v Raith Rovers Dunfermline Athletic v Queen of the South Falkirk v Dundee United Hibernian v Morton St Mirren v Dumbarton

St Mirren are now the only professional club in Britain not have launched their new strip for the forthcoming season. Carbrini and the fans council are lazy nincompoops. They shold bring back the dollybirds parading the new strips at the player of the year dance instead of keeping the fans waiting this ridiculous length of time.

According to a very reliable source Alex Rae will be signing a new goalkeeper as back up to Jamie Langfield. From what I have been told the keeper will either be Oshane Brown who Langfield rates very highly or it will be Norwegian Jody Barford, should be confirmed early next week. So watch this space!

I hate this waiting around, it was better when the strips were unveiled at the Player of the Year dance by a couple of dollybirds

How did James Sanderson die? He fell off the fence

English midfielder Geoff Kellaway is set to sign a 2 year contract with St Mirren early next week according to one of my sources
