Towards the end of 1996 the Friends of St Mirren Association(Fosma) decided to relaunch
the Saint, and the first issue of the paper was released to the public.
Unlike
it's predecessor, this was distributed free of charge, with all printing costs being met by advertisers.
The publication ran from 1996 until 2005, publishing around 3-4 times a year.
After a gap
of five years, season 2010-11 saw two issues of the Saints produced, one at the start of the season and one in November.
