St Mirren have appointed former Scotland international, John McGinn, as their new manager ahead of the club's reconstruction efforts.

McGinn will take over from former boss Stephen Robinson, who was sacked in December following a poor run of form and disappointing results for the club.

The 45-year-old McGinn has had a successful career in Scottish football, having played for teams such as Celtic, Rangers, Hibernian and Dundee United.

He is also known for his experience at international level, having represented Scotland at both under-21 and senior levels.

With McGinn taking charge, St Mirren fans can be hopeful that the club's fortunes will improve under his leadership.

However, it remains to be seen how well he will adapt to the challenges facing the club after a difficult period.

Whatever the outcome, it is clear that McGinn is committed to helping St Mirren kickstart their reconstruction efforts and rebuild their reputation on the pitch.

Overall, the appointment of McGinn as St Mirren's new manager is a positive move for the club, and one that could see them turn a corner in their quest for success.
