Scott said on St Mirren's official website: "While the club will take a hit financially, I'd like to assure all our fans that, thanks to their support over the last four seasons, we are in a strong position to get through this difficult time and with your continued support and understanding we will see this through."

Scott is also looking for the club and fans to help others through the uncertain times.

"As a club and in partnership with Street Stuff and the St Mirren Charitable Foundation we are looking at ways we can help those in need at this time," he said.

"We are unsure what form that will take as the information on the control of the virus changes on a daily basis and we cannot put anyone at risk.

"If anyone is interested in volunteering to help in whatever form that might take can you please email your contact details to gayle.brannigan@stmirren.com and state whether you have your own transport or not."
