St Mirren, the Scottish Premier League club in Scotland, has appointed former Scottish international midfielder Alex McLeish as their new head coach.
McLeish was a key figure at Celtic during his time with the team and he had previously worked with St Mirren's youth team. He is expected to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the coaching staff, who will be looking for him to lead the team towards success this season.
McLeish has previously been involved in several successful campaigns at Celtic, including winning the Scottish Cup in 2014 and the UEFA Champions League in 2015. He has also managed teams such as Rangers and Hamilton Academical.
His experience and expertise will be invaluable to the coaching staff at St Mirren, who aim to improve the team's performance this season. The club's manager, Gary Mackay-Williams, said: "We are delighted to have Alex back on board as our new head coach. His experience and knowledge will help us to build a strong squad and achieve our goals."
McLeish has already made some positive comments about the team's current situation, saying that they need to work hard to improve their performances and win more matches this season. He also expressed confidence in the team's ability to bounce back from their recent defeat against Hearts.
The appointment of McLeish as the new head coach at St Mirren comes as a significant blow to the club's previous manager, David Wagner, who left the club after the defeat against Hearts. Wagner had been one of the most successful managers in the club's history, but his departure caused a stir among fans and players alike.
It remains to be seen whether McLeish can help St Mirren to turn things around and return to the top of the Scottish Premier League. However, the appointment of a former Scottish international as the head coach is a positive sign for the club, and we can expect to see a lot of changes at St Mirren this season.
