On 27 June the club announced that midfielder, Gary Harkins, has had his contract with the club cancelled by mutual consent.[13] After signing in the summer of 2013, Harkins had an unsuccessful time at the club and was loaned out to Oldham Athletic in January 2014.

July[]

On 2 July it was announced that midfielder Kenny McLean had signed a two-year contract extension with the club, tying him to the club until the summer of 2016.[14]

Also on this day, the club confirmed that Manchester City defender Ellis Plummer had signed on a one-year loan deal.[15]

On 14 July it was announced that 20-year-old striker Ross Caldwell had signed a one-year deal with the club, with the option of a further year. The former Hibernian player was released in the summer following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership, and signed for Saints after a successful trial.[16]

On 19 July Saints won the Renfrewshire Cup when they defeated local rivals Greenock Morton 1–0 at Cappielow.[17] This was the 55th time that Saints have lifted the trophy, and the eighth time they have defeated Greenock Morton in the last nine finals.

On 25 July, defender Jeroen Tesselaar returned to Saints on a one-year deal. The Dutch player left the club in 2012, but has returned after leaving Kilmarnock on a free transfer in the summer.[18]

On 30 July Saints signed striker Callum Ball on a one-year deal, with the option of a further year. The Englishman impressed the club by scoring 5 goals in two pre-season friendly matches, while playing as a trialist.[19]

September[]

On 17 September, it was confirmed that striker Steven Thompson would undergo surgery for a groin injury.

December[]

On 9 December it was announced that manager Tommy Craig had left the club by mutual consent. It was not a surprise announcement, following recent pressure from the club's fans – due to the poor record of Craig since taking charge of the team. It was confirmed that Gary Teale will take interim charge of the first team until a new manager is appointed, with Head of Youth Development David Longwell assisting.[28][29]

January[]

On 2 January the club confirmed that Ellis Plummer and youngster Declan Hughes had left the club. Plummer made 7 appearances for the club, but due to injuries his one-year loan period was cut short.[30] Youth player Declan Hughes was freed without having played a match for the club.[31]

On 5 January the club announced that Adam Drury had left the club, cutting short his one-year loan period from Manchester City.[32]

On the same day the club also announced that it had rejected a bid from Fleetwood Town for young midfielder, Kenny McLean. The bid of approximately £150,000 was deemed to low, with the club stating "the offer does not come close to the club's valuation of the player".[32]

On 9 January summer signing Ross Caldwell left the club by mutual consent, after failing to make an impact.[33] In total he made 15 appearances, and scored 2 goals.

Also on this day, Stevie Mallan won the SPFL Young Player of the Month award for December 2014, following his impressive start to his senior Saints career.[34]

On 14 January striker Yoann Arquin signed for the club until the end of season 2014–15.[35]

On 29 January the club confirmed Gary Teale as club manager, after almost two months serving as caretaker manager. Teale will take charge until the end of the season.[38]

On 21 April two more players cancelled their contracts with the club by mutual consent, before the close of the season. Forward Callum Ball leaves the club after making 24 appearances in total, scoring twice. Midfielder Isaac Osbourne also left the club, making 18 appearances without scoring.[48]

On 27 April it was reported that club captain Steven Thompson "speared" teammate John McGinn in a bizarre training ground prank gone wrong. The incident happened before the recent 2015–16 Scottish Championship victory at home to Kilmarnock, and will see McGinn sidelined for around three weeks.[49]

May[]

On 4 May Stevie Mallan was awarded with the PFA Scotland 'Goal of the Season' award, for his strike against Dundee on 27 December 2014.[50]

On 8 May Saints were relegated to the Scottish Championship. This was confirmed following Motherwell's 3–1 win over Kilmarnock, leaving Saints unable escape relegation with three league games remaining.[51]
