St Mirren close out 2024/25 with our Euro hopes going to the final day when we face Celtic at Celtic Park.

Saints came from behind to draw 2-2 with Hibernian on Wednesday night. But we remain a point behind Dundee United who occupy the final European spot heading into the last day. 

Stephen Robinson's side must better Dundee United's result if they want to ensure qualification for the UEFA Conference League. However, a win for the Arabs at home to Aberdeen on Saturday would render any Saints result moot in the race for that final spot. 

Match Details

Celtic v St Mirren
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 17th May 2025
Kick-off: 12:30pm 
Venue: Celtic Park

The Opposition

Celtic officially clinched the title in the first post-split fixture following a 5-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice. But in truth it's been a foregone conclusion for many months given Brendan Rodgers' side's lead in the William Hill Premiership.

The Hoops go into Saturday's match on the back of a 5-1 win away to Aberdeen on Wednesday night. That result followed a 3-1 victory at home to Hibernian on Saturday.

Celtic have been victorious in all three meetings between the sides this season. Brendan Rodgers' side were 3-0 winners on our last trip to Celtic Park back in January. A valiant effort from Saints in the previous meeting at The SMiSA Stadium in March wasn't enough to take anything but the game was certainly closer than the 5-2 final scoreline suggests. 

Our last win over Celtic came at The SMiSA Stadium in September 2022 when goals from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga saw us run out 2-0 victors. Our last win at Celtic Park was in January 2021 with goals from Kristian Dennis and Ilkay Durmus securing our first win in Parkhead since 1990. 

The Officials

David Dickinson is the referee on Saturday and his assistants are Ross Nelson and Steven Traynor.

Calum Scott is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). 

St Mirren's Euro hopes will go to the last day after Stephen Robinson's men fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Hibernian.

Two quickfire goals for the visitors in the first 10 minutes gave the Buddies an uphill challenge from the off. But Richard Taylor pulled a goal back in injury-time at the end of the first-half before substitute Conor McMenamin levelled in the second-half. Mikael Mandron scored a third for Saints but the goal was disallowed after the referee seemingly pulled it back for a foul earlier in the build-up.

The manager stuck with the same starting lineup that defeated United at Tannadice on Saturday, while Mark O'Hara came on to the bench after a hamstring injury ruled him out at the weekend. 

The visitors, knowing they could potentially seal third place, made a fast start and opening the scoring with just three minutes on the clock when Martin Boyle lashed beyond Zach Hemming at the near post. 

The Australian international scored again three minutes later, but an offside flag denied him an early brace with VAR confirming. But the Hibees would get their second on nine minutes when Mykola Kuharevich scored.

Boyle could have added his second and Hibernian's third when he raced down right-hand side, but Hemming was quickly off his line and smothered the attempt. 

After a tough start, Saints began to settle after the half-hour mark. A good cross from Ryan Alebiosu found Jonah Ayunga in the box but the forward's header was tame and gathered with ease by Hibs goalkeeper Jordan Smith. Two minutes later, Killian Phillips wasn't far away as he reacted to some pinball in the box, but flicked his effort over the bar. Saints almost saw the deficit halved when Lewis Miller made a meal of his attempted clearance of a Phillips cross, but it fell on the wrong side of the post.

The Buddies would pull a vital goal back on the stroke of half-time when Richard Taylor fired home via a deflection in the final minute of added time. 

The second-half didn't really spark into life until Saints made a triple substitution a little after the hour mark with the introduction of Scott Tanser, Mark O'Hara and McMenamin in place of Declan John, Caolan Boyd-Munce and Ayunga.

Saints levelled four minutes later when McMenamin got himself on the end of an Idowu cross to score his second goal in as many games. A lengthy VAR check for offside ensued, but the goal stood. 

The SMiSA Stadium was rocking and it exploded five minutes later when Mandron rolled home into an empty net as it looked like Saints had taken the lead. But referee Chris Graham pulled play back and awarded Hibernian a free-kick, much to the confusion of everyone in the stadium. 

It was all one way traffic as the Buddies look to grab a winner. Substitute Greg Kiltie almost made an instant impact when he forced an important save from Smith before McMenamin cracked the post in the final minute of normal time. 

While a tough trip to Celtic awaits on the final day, the Buddies will take the fight for that Euro spot until the end.

Following a thorough internal review of our purchasing process for wheelchair and ambulant disabled supporters, the club has recently updated its policy for the sale of tickets.

For Season 2025/26 and onwards, wheelchair and ambulant disabled supporters that require a carer ticket must now provide appropriate proof to the St Mirren Ticket Office in the form of a doctor's letter or proof of carer's allowance/carer support payment.

If eligible for a carer, we ask that you name a primary carer on the ticket. However, we are aware that, due to extenuating circumstances, there will be times that it will not be the named carer in attendance.

Regrettably, the previous system left the club open to abuse and subsequently we have recently identified several instances of misuse.

As per our updated Disabled Supporters Policy, "If any wheelchair or ambulant disabled supporter attends admission is charged at our concession rate. If any wheelchair or ambulant supporter requires a carer and can provide appropriate proof of this, the carer ticket will be offered free of charge. While primary carer details will be required at the point of sale, in extenuating circumstances flexibility will be provided if necessary."

While we understand this will affect many loyal supporters, the revised process is intended to ensure that access to carer tickets is fair, consistent and based on verified need.

We would like to apologise for the delay in sharing this information and understand this may cause some inconvenience in the short term. We are exploring ways to make this as smooth and accessible as possible moving forward.

The ticket office will be on hand to assist with your renewals.

We thank you for your patience and your ongoing loyalty to the club.

St Mirren's William Hill Premiership match at home to Hibernian on Wednesday night will be shown live on PPV.

As it's the final home match of the season, the players will take to the field after full-time to partake in lap of honour. The players will initially leave the field following full-time, but will return to show their appreciation to the support and vice versa. 

The club would ask supporters to allow younger children to stand at the front during the lap of honour.

Visitor Information

It's our final home match of the season as St Mirren host Hibernian at The SMiSA Stadium on Wednesday night. 

Stephen Robinson's men have taken the race for Europe to the final week after a 2-0 win away to Dundee United saw us close the gap on the Arabs to just two points with two matches remaining. 

The Buddies are in good form having taken 10 points from a possible 12 in our last four William Hill Premiership matches. 

Match Details

St Mirren v Hibernian
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Wednesday 14th May 2025
Kick-off: 7:45pm 
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium

The Opposition

Hibernian could all but secure third place on Wednesday night. Despite a 3-1 defeat away to Champions Celtic on Saturday, the Hibees are in pole position to secure third spot given their three point lead over fourth place Aberdeen as well as a vastly superior goal difference. A win for David Gray's men on Wednesday coupled with Aberdeen failing to beat Celtic at Pittodrie would guarantee third place for the Edinburgh side. A draw would also be enough should the Dons lose to Celtic on Wednesday. 

The Hibees are one of the form sides in the William Hill Premiership having only lost two of their last 20 league matches. However, those two defeats - to Celtic and Aberdeen - have come in their last three matches. 

Saints are unbeaten in their three matches against the Hibees in the William Hill Premiership this season. A Roland Idowu goal followed by an Oisin Smyth brace saw us defeat Hibernian 3-0 at The SMiSA Stadium on the opening day of the season. Conor McMenamin scored a double when we defeated the Hibees 2-1 at Easter Road in November. Neither side could be separated in the last meeting between the two with the match finishing 0-0 in Paisley back in February.

The Officials

Chris Graham takes charge of the match and he's assisted by Graeme Stewart and Sean Carr.

Don Robertson is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). 

As we do every year, we will be remembering all the St Mirren supporters who have sadly passed away this season 2024/25.

The club will be honouring those that have passed at our final home match of the season against Hibernian on Wednesday 14th May.

If you would like the name of someone who has passed away this season to be included on the big screen during the applause then please complete this FORM by 5pm on Monday 12th May. 

Our thoughts to all the families who have lost loved ones throughout the season. 

St Mirren moved to within two points of Dundee United to keep their hopes of taking a European spot alive heading into the final week of the season. 

Goals from Mikael Mandron and Jonah Ayunga either side of half-time saw Stephen Robinson's men earn a thoroughly deserved win 2-0 at Tannadice. 

There were two changes to the side that defeated Aberdeen as captain Mark O'Hara missed out due to a hamstring injury, while Oisin Smyth dropped to the bench. That saw Caolan Boyd-Munce and Roland Idowu come in from the start.

A bright start from Stephen Robinson's men saw Idowu's low cross find Killian Phillips in good space inside the box, but the midfielder's heavy touch saw it run out of play. Less than a minute later, Mikael Mandron came agonisingly close to giving us an early lead. Boyd-Munce worked the ball on and the striker had acres of space to have a go 25 yards from goal with his effort curling just wide of the left-hand post. 

Zach Hemming was then forced into action for the first on 10 minutes when he did well to block close-range strike from Ross Docherty. Idowu fired into the side-netting a minute afterwards as the game ebbed and flowed in the early stages. The end-to-end nature continued as Sam Dalby headed Glenn Middleton's cross over from six yards, while Richard Taylor did similar with an Idowu cross soon after. A lovely bit of interplay between Declan John and Phillips almost yielded an opener on 17 minutes. It ended with Ayunga getting a strike away with the shot saved by Jack Walton.

The game settled after a frantic start, but Saints would hit the front just after the half-hour mark. Phillips' persistence saw him win the ball down the right side and he fed the ball into Ayunga whose strength allowed him to find Albeiosu. The wing-back shuffled the ball to his left to find Mandron who curled low into the bottom corner from 20 yards to the delight of the 1,200+ travelling support. 

Saints should have doubled their lead when Ayunga raced clear on goal but sent his effort high over the bar. The offside flag was raised in any case but TV replays showed that the forward may have been onside. 

The home side made a quick start after the restart as they looked to restore parity. Dalby came close twice in the early stages of the second 45. He first sent a strike just wide of the far post on 48 minutes before forcing a save from Hemming two minutes later. 

The Buddies weathered that early United storm and almost added a second a few minutes before the hour mark. Alebiosu won the ball in his own half and drove forward before forcing a terrific low save from United goalkeeper Walton who got a strong hand to turn away the strike. 

Saints would add a second on 66 minutes when Ayunga got his name on the scoresheet. Idowu slid the ball on to the forward who has loads of space to run into. He danced by Emmanuel Adegboyega before firing low beyond Walton to double our lead. 

From that point on, the Buddies were in complete control and should have added more goals. Idowu lashed over with 15 minutes remaining after chopping in from the left, while Phillips should have scored from close range after Walton had saved substitute Greg Kiltie's initial effort. Alebiosu saw a strike deflected over while Ayunga had the ball in the net on 82 minutes but was flagged for offside. Walton saved again in injury-time to deny Kiltie, before the forward fired the follow-up wide.
