| The numbers for the Saints squad for the new season were announced today and there was a fair bit of reshuffling for last season's players - while a couple of slots were left empty for potential signings. |
Obviously, there was a big clear out of players over the summer, meaning several numbers were left open. By my reckoning, just four of the players who stayed have retained their numbers, with the rest shuffling up.
Paul Gallacher, Hugh Murray, Lee Mair and John Potter keep their numbers. David Barron is number 3, Garry Brady is 4 and Steven Thomson takes the number 8 shirt vacated by Andy Dorman. 9, 10 and 11 are Craig Dargo, Steven Robb and Michael Higdon respectively.
David van Zanten has taken back the number 2 shirt he held during his first spell with the club, while the rest of the new signings have numbers between 12 and 20, aside from Peter Bradley who is 26. The youngsters start at 23, meaning shirts 21 and 22 are open for new players for the first team squad.
The full list is:
1 - Paul Gallacher 2 - David van Zanten 3 - David Barron 4 - Garry Brady 5 - Lee Mair 6 - John Potter 7 - Hugh Murray 8 - Steven Thomson 9 - Craig Dargo 10 - Michael Higdon 11 - Steven Robb 12 - Craig Samson 14 - Darren McGregor 15 - Paul McQuade 16 - Jure Travner 17 - Marc McAusland 18 - Gareth Wardlaw 19 - Paul McGowan 20 - Sean Lynch 23 - Jon McShane 24 - Kyle Faulds 25 - Ally Love 26 - Peter Bradley 29 - Mark McLennan
