Calvin Ramsay has made a season-long loan move to St Mirren, with the right-back set to see out the final year of his Liverpool contract before departing.
Ramsay has not signed a new deal before joining St Mirren for the 2026/27 campaign, which is often the case for players leaving Liverpool on loan.
Instead, the 23-year-old will be given the opportunity to impress back in Scotland before seeking a permanent switch as a free agent next summer.
His move to St Mirren, who emerged as leading contenders in the last week, comes after a season spent around Arne Slot‘s first-team squad and then as part of Andoni Iraola‘s pre-season.

But with Jeremie Frimpong preferred at right-back, Conor Bradley returning from injury and both Ronald Araujo and Joe Gomez available as cover, the decision was made to allow Ramsay to leave.
This is the fifth loan of his career and the Scotland international will hope for a more productive spell than he endured at Preston, Bolton, Wigan and Kilmarnock.
Ramsay made 39 appearances for Aberdeen prior to his transfer to Liverpool in 2022, but in the four years since he has only managed 30 for five different clubs.
He has however shown promise, particularly in the past year, with a brief clamour for Ramsay to take up starting duties under Slot.

The aim will be to translate that to the pitch week in, week out for St Mirren, who have begun the Scottish Premiership campaign with back-to-back wins over Falkirk and St Johnstone.
Liverpool agreed an initial £4.2 million deal to sign Ramsay from Aberdeen, with the package including a further £2.3 million in add-ons.
It is unlikely that those add-ons have been paid in full, with a series of injuries and competition for places limiting him to just four outings for the senior side.
All the best, Calvin!
