On 27 June the club announced that midfielder, Gary Harkins, has had his contract with the club cancelled by mutual consent.[13] After signing in the summer of 2013, Harkins had an unsuccessful time at the club and was loaned out to Oldham Athletic in January 2014.

Also on this day, the club confirmed that Manchester City defender Ellis Plummer had signed on a one-year loan deal.[15]
On 14 July it was announced that 20-year-old striker Ross Caldwell had signed a one-year deal with the club, with the option of a further year. The former Hibernian player was released in the summer following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership, and signed for Saints after a successful trial.[16]
On 19 July Saints won the Renfrewshire Cup when they defeated local rivals Greenock Morton 1–0 at Cappielow.[17] This was the 55th time that Saints have lifted the trophy, and the eighth time they have defeated Greenock Morton in the last nine finals.

On 4 May Stevie Mallan was awarded with the PFA Scotland 'Goal of the Season' award, for his strike against Dundee on 27 December 2014.[50]
