Hartlepool United confirmed over the weekend that the pre-season friendly with St Mirren, scheduled for Tuesday, had been called off.

A club statement posted online read: “This fixture was a last-minute addition to our confirmed pre-season schedule and following a reassessment, we felt that it was more beneficial to spend an uninterrupted week of training at Maiden Castle focusing on building the squad and integrating new players into the pre-season camp without the added fixture in Scotland.

“St.Mirren will process refunds to any fans who purchased tickets over the next few days.”
