Franco Andrés Miranda (born 13 May 1985) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Tiro Federal. He is a left full back.
Miranda signed for St. Mirren in August 2007, on loan from Argentine club CAI. He had returned to Argentina from Sweden, where he was with Helsingborg. Miranda has also played for River Plate during his career.
In the 2007/08 close season, he had been training with Scottish Premier League team St. Mirren and a one year loan deal was eventually agreed with them. On 10 August 2007 St. Mirren received international clearance to finalise the deal to bring Miranda to the club.[1] Miranda scored on his debut, opening goal of a 2–1 win against Inverness.
After a fine season with the Buddies, his loan spell was extended by a further season in June 2008.[2] Miranda's last St. Mirren game was a 3-2 defeat against Dundee United F.C. at Tannadice in January 2009. Shortly after this game Miranda suffered a knee injury which ended his season and he then left the Buddies in July 2009 to return to Argentina, where he signed for newly promoted Chacarita Juniors. At the end of the 2009/10 season he moved on to Argentine Second Division club Independiente Rivadavia however it appears that he suffered a setback in passing a medical.[3]
