St Mirren have completed their move into fan ownership with the St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMISA) buying out chairman Gordon Scott to become majority shareholders of the club with a 51 per cent stake. SMISA will now have four representatives on the St Mirren board, with Scott Wardrop and Alan Wardrop joining John Needham and David Riley. Kibble chief executive and St Mirren vice-chairman Jim Gillespie said: "This is a historic day for St Mirren's fans. "We believe we are starting to see the fruits of that relationship and look forward to contributing towards many more successful years at St Mirren." St Mirren join Motherwell in becoming fan-owned, with Hearts well on their way to joining their two Premiership rivals.
