St Mirren, one of Scotland's most successful clubs, has appointed former Scotland international Mark Warburton as their new manager after the club's financial crisis.

Warburton is currently the manager of Scottish Championship side Queen of the South and was also part of Scotland's victorious 2014 World Cup squad. He previously managed St Mirren in the Premier League during his time at QoS.

The appointment comes after St Mirren struggled financially and found themselves in the relegation zone last season. They were relegated from the Scottish Premiership by just two points and were facing a difficult task this season with a new coach and a rebuilding period under way.

Warburton has been involved in the development of many young talent over the years, including players such as Craig Brown and Jamie Paterson. He will have to get used to the new system quickly and work closely with the coaching staff and players to ensure that they can bring out the best in them.

In addition to the managerial position, Warburton is also expected to help St Mirren navigate through the challenges of the current situation. He will be working closely with the board and the players to develop a plan for the club's future success.

Overall, Warburton's appointment as manager of St Mirren marks a significant change for the club and will hopefully help them overcome the difficulties they faced last season and return to the top flight of English football.
