St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has admitted no progress has been made on new deals for Richard Taylor or Toyosi Olusanya.
Club chiefs have been desperate to tie down the pair to new contracts with their current terms expiring in the summer.
Offers had been tabled to the pair with further offers now made but no agreement reached with the players and their representatives.

Robinson - who signed both players in Paisley - has not given up on possible deals but admitted the club may not be able to offer anything above the "very good" terms currently available to the duo.
"There has been no progress on that at the moment," said Robinson. "We've made further offers to both players but it looks at this moment in time that we probably won't be able to come to an agreement which we respect.
"We know both boys will give absolutely everything.

"And we won't give up, we're still very early and we'll see where we are come the end of January if we can go any further than that but they are very good offers from the football club so I'm not sure we can."
Robinson has, however, convinced back-up goalkeeper Peter Urminsky to follow Greg Kiltie and Marcus Fraser in signing new deals.
He said: "Peter Urminsky has agreed a new contract who we believe is a really good up and coming young goalkeeper so lots of good stuff as well as the boys who haven't signed."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
