Kenyan international Jonah Ayunga made a return to his Scottish club St. Mirren with a goal in a buildup match after being sidelined for eight months with a knee injury.
Ayunga picked an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during the 1-0 win over Motherwell in February and underwent surgery the same month but has since returned to the green grass getting 45 minutes under his belt.

Ayunga is in contention for a starting berth when Mirren host bottom placed St. Johnstone over the weekend.
