When St Mirren were announcing key players signing new deals before last season was even completed, I thought the club might have enjoyed a rare, quiet summer transfer window.
With the likes of Mark O’Hara, Marcus Fraser, Greg Kiltie, Ryan Flynn and Trevor Carson all agreeing contract extensions early doors, the core of the squad appeared to be fairly set in stone.
How wrong I was. The first shock came when Charles Dunne, who looked to be heading out the door, performed an impressive U-turn and decided to sign a new deal with the Saints after all.
