The midfield playmaker had pleaded guilty to assaulting the officers, one of them called Tony Fitzpatrick, at Airdrie Sheriff Court in December. He faced an anxious wait to learn his fate but the sheriff decided today to order him to carry out 130 hours of community service rather than send him to prison.
Following the news the club released this statement: "Today's sentencing brings this deeply regrettable matter to a close.
"We have been very clear that we do not condone Paul's actions in any way. Everyone involved with St Mirren Football Club is fully aware that we expect them to act in accordance with our commitment to respect and tolerance in our community.
"Paul knows what he did was wrong and completely unacceptable. As a club, our long-term objective is to help him learn from his behaviour and move on with his life and career and, as such, we have no further comment to make."
