St Mirren have appointed Craig McLeish as manager until the end of the season, the Scottish Premiership club confirmed on Saturday. McLeish stepped into the interim role earlier this month following the departure of the previous management team. The club board decided to retain his services for the remaining fixtures to provide stability during the final stages of the league campaign, according to Sky Sports.
The Paisley side currently occupies ninth place in the Scottish Premiership table following a run of inconsistent results. McLeish has overseen three matches during his temporary spell, securing four points from a possible nine. Club officials stated that the search for a permanent successor will continue in the background while McLeish focuses on first-team affairs, per STV News.
St Mirren return to action next weekend as they look to secure their position in the top flight. The players have reportedly responded well to the coaching methods implemented by McLeish and his backroom staff during the recent international break.
