St Mirren posted a statement saying: ‘St Mirren Football Club is deeply saddened by the passing of our former player Frank McDougall.
‘Reknown as one of the best strikers in Scottish football in the 1980s, Frank joined St Mirren from Clydebank in June 1979, a transfer that broke the Scottish transfer record at the time. During his five-year stay at Saints, Frank scored 64 goals in 169 appearances.

“The thoughts of everyone at St Mirren are with Frank’s loved ones at this sad time.”
