St Mirren will welcome English opposition to their new stadium for the first time when they host Barclays Premier League outfit Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly.
The Magpies will send a side made up of youth and first-team players to St Mirren Park for the warm-up on July 30.
The side will be taken by Under-21 boss Willie Donachie and could see the return of Paul Dummett and Conor Newton to Paisley, after both helped the Buddies lift the Scottish Communities League Cup during loan stints last season.
Boss Danny Lennon has also confirmed that the SPL side will face Charlton Athletic on Saturday July 13 during a warm-weather camp in Spain.
Morecambe will then welcome the Scots to The Globe Arena on July 24, before they prepare for the visit of Newcastle by facing Stockport County the following Saturday at Edgeley Park.
The Newcastle friendly will be Saints' last pre-season outing.
