The club has expressed their "deep disappointment".

St Mirren bosses have since "apologised" on behalf of the club to the supporter and offered to pay the costs to replace the items. However, Livingston said they are already dealing with the matter.

Instead, the Paisley club are donating the money to charity organisation Kick Mental Health at Livingston's request.

They have further stated that they do not wish to see the club and its supporters "tarnished" by the behaviour of a small minority.

In a statement posted on social media, the club said: "St Mirren Football Club is aware of an incident following Saturday’s match in which a Livingston supporter had his bag, containing merchandise he had purchased from their club shop, snatched.

"We are deeply disappointed by this incident and have apologised on behalf of the club to the supporter in question and to Livingston FC.

"We also offered to pay the costs to replace the goods that were stolen from the supporter.

"However, Livingston had told us this was in hand and instead the money will now be donated to charity organisation Kick Mental Health at Livingston's request.

"We do not wish to see our club and supporters tarnished by the behaviour of a small minority and firmly believe this is not reflective of the wider fanbase who offer us brilliant support home and away every week."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are aware of social media reports of an alleged incident where a supporter had items stolen following the match at the Tony Macaroni Arena on Saturday, 17 February, 2024.

"Whilst no report has been made to police, officers will liaise with both football clubs and carry out enquiries to establish the circumstances.

"Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident 1777 of 17 February.”
