St Mirren have named Tommy Craig as their new manager following the departure on Monday of Danny Lennon.
The 63-year-old former Scotland U21 boss, who has coached at Aberdeen and Hibernian, had been Lennon's No 2 since the summer of 2011.
A St Mirren statement read: "The Board of Directors of St Mirren Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Tommy Craig as manager.
"Tommy has asked Gary Teale and Jim Goodwin to take on the role of player/coaches to assist him. Both are delighted to be on board and we look forward to our new management team taking the club forward.
"The initial work for Tommy will be to re-sign the players who are out of contract that he wishes to see remain in his squad, together with the identification of signing targets throughout the summer and programme our pre-season plans.
"The remit from the Board is to continue the foundations already in place at St Mirren, part of which is to encourage young players from our Academy to develop within our Club.
"Tommy Craig has a proven record in this area and, together with Jim and Gar,y will work with our successful Head of Youth, David Longwell, to ensure our young players continue to progress from youth academy to the first-team squad.
"The supporters of the Club have been magnificent in the support of this policy - we are sure they will wish Tommy, Jim and Gary every success."
