Form

Saints go into Saturday's semi-final on the back of a 2-2 draw against league leaders Hearts at The SMiSA Stadium on Wednesday night. 

Our passage to the semi-final has come after penalty shoot-out victories over Hearts and Kilmarnock. After winning Group D back in July, Saints were paired against Hearts at The SMiSA Stadium in the round of 16. A 5-4 penalty shoot-out victory saw the Buddies progress to the quarter-final where we were drawn away to Kilmarnock. A 2-2 draw after 90 minutes and extra-time saw us head to spot-kicks once again and another five perfect penalties saw us reach Hampden Park. 

Motherwell defeated Dundee United 2-0 at Fir Park on Wednesday evening. That result came off the back of a last-gasp win away to Livingston at the weekend. 

The Steelmen reached the semi-final stage of the Premier Sports Cup last season where they were narrowly edged out by Rangers. This season, Jens Berthel Askou's side have made it to the last four after wins away to St Johnstone (0-1) and Aberdeen (0-1).

The Officials

Don Robertson is the referee on Saturday. Greg Aitken is on VAR.

St Mirren picked up a point against league leaders Hearts after an eventful 2-2 draw at The SMiSA Stadium. But once again, a VAR decision proved costly and frustrating as the Buddies were denied the opportunity to go 3-1 up when Miguel Freckleton's second goal was disallowed.

Dan Nlundulu made it two in two as his stunning overhead kick gave Saints the lead. A defensive error allowed Lawrence Shankland to level for the visitors. Freckleton put Stephen Robinson's men ahead for the second time with a tidy finish early in the second-half. And he thought he'd extended the lead when he added a third five minutes later. But a baffling VAR call saw the goal overturned to the bemusement of all in the stadium. Hearts levelled through Claudio Braga with 20 minutes remaining and thought they'd won it in the final minutes, only for Pierre Kabore's goal to be disallowed for offside. 

Richard King came in for the suspended Alex Gogic, while Mikael Mandron led the line with Nlundulu in the only two changes from Saturday's defeat to Dundee United.

An even opening to the match was stirred on 13 minutes when Beni Baningime struck the post for the visitors. The ball rolled along the line before going out for a goal-kick. Four minutes later, Saints threatened with Mandron heading into the side-net.

Saints broke the deadlock heading into the half-hour mark when Nlundulu scored his second goal for the Buddies. Shamal George lifted a free-kick into the Hearts box where Nlundulu brought it under control before sending an overhead kick high into the net with Alexander Schwolow unable to get near it.

Frustratingly, Hearts found themselves level six minutes later. Keanu Baccus attempted to bring a defensive header under control in his box, but his heavy touch landed at the feet of Shankland who finished beyond George to equalise.

The Buddies flew out the traps at the start of the second-half with a beautiful Phillips ball over the top finding Mandron. The forward brought the ball down but saw his shot well blocked by Oisin McEntee. Phillips was then the recipient of a brilliant cross from Declan John only to see his header turned over by Schwolow. Saints retook the lead from the resulting corner with the ball eventually landing at the feet of Freckleton who smashed home from close range.

Freckleton thought he had his second and Saints' third five minutes later. John's free-kick delivery was superb and found the head of Freckleton. He bulleted a header off the post but quickly met the rebound and fired into the net to give the Buddies a commanding lead over the league leaders. Or so he thought. Referee Matthew MacDermid was called over to the monitor and eventually disallowed the goal for what was seemingly a foul by captain Mark O'Hara, but it was hard to see what the infringement actually was. 

Undeterred, Saints came agonisingly close on 69 minutes when Schwolow made a truly stunning save to deny Phillips' header. And within a minute the visitors found themselves level. George made a wonderful stop to touch Alexandros Kyziridis' effort onto the bar. But Braga was on hand to knock into the net.

Substitute Jonah Ayunga forced another big save from Schwolow as the game headed into the final 10 minutes. The visitors thought they had won it in the dying minutes when Kabore eventually forced home at close range, but VAR eventually disallowed the goal with McEntee offside in the build up.

Form

St Mirren suffered a frustrating defeat away to Dundee United on Saturday. That came after a last-gasp loss at home to Aberdeen the previous weekend. Stephen Robinson's men have picked up nine points from their opening nine games and sit in ninth in the William Hill Premiership. 

Hearts stretched their lead at the top of the William Hill Premiership to eight points after a 3-1 win at home to Celtic on Sunday. Derek McInnes' side have picked up 25 points from a possible 27 in their opening nine league matches this season. 

Saints are the only side to have had the best of Hearts this season, defeating the Gorgie side on penalty kicks in the Premier Sports Cup in August. Alex Gogic fired the Buddies ahead at The SMiSA Stadium before Oisin McEntee levelled for the visitors to take the game to extra-time and penalties. Five perfect spot kicks from Richard King, Marcus Fraser, Roland Idowu, Evan Mooney and Malik Dijksteel, coupled by a Shamal George save from Claudio Braga saw Saints progress 5-4 on penalties.

An own goal from Gerard Taylor and a Toyosi Olusanya strike saw the Buddies defeat Hearts 2-1 in the only meeting between the two at The SMiSA Stadium last season.

The Officials

The referee on Wednesday evening is Matthew MacDermid. The VAR is Nick Walsh.

St Mirren were dealt more VAR frustration and ended the game with 10 men for the second week in a row as we lost 3-1 to Dundee United at Tannadice.

Dan Nlundulu scored his first goal for St Mirren to give the Buddies a deserved lead. But the home side levelled late in the half through Zach Sapsford after a dubious free-kick call. Saints looked the more likely to re-take the lead, but found themselves behind when a VAR intervention saw referee John Beaton award United a penalty with less than 10 to play and show a red card to Alex Gogic. Substitute Amar Fatah made no mistake from the spot before Craig Sibbald added a third in the final minute of normal time. 

Manager Stephen Robinson made two changes with Conor McMenamin in for the suspended Jayden Richardson, while Jonah Ayunga replaced Mikael Mandron who was only fit enough for a place on the bench.

The Buddies started brightly and would be awarded with the breakthrough on 18 minutes. Declan John's wicked cross was touched onto the bar by United goalkeeper Yevhenni Kucherenko and Nlundulu was quickest to react to rebound, nodding into the net from close-range to score his first for Saints.

The forward had a big opportunity to double his tally with five minutes of the first-half remaining. He was first on to a brilliant corner kick delivery from captain Mark O'Hara, but he bulleted wide of target.

Frustratingly, United drew level two minutes later. Shamal George was penalised for seemingly picking the ball up outside the area which saw the goalkeeper cautioned and the hosts awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box. Sapsford struck low into the bottom corner to make it 1-1. It was a bitterly disappointing moment as the Buddies had looked well in control, limiting United to very little. 

Saints almost reacted in the perfect manner with Nlundulu forcing an important save from Kucherenko on 44 minutes as the half drew to a close. 

United almost got themselves in front quickly after the restart when a Sibbald pass cut open the Saints defence which saw Panutche Camara run through on goal. George was out quickly to narrow the angle and that saw Camara slide the ball by the far post.

Killian Phillips could have put St Mirren back ahead just after the hour mark but failed to hit the target. Miguel Freckleton's ball into the box was brought down on the chest of Gogic and sat nicely for Phillips to get on to it though the Irishman struck high over the bar.

Most of the game was being played deep in the United half with Saints trying to force the issue in search of a second goal. A number of corners and crosses caused the hosts pressure. Keanu Baccus dragged an effort wide from 20 yards on 64 minutes before Ayunga couldn't get enough curl from a similar position three minutes later. Baccus came close again when he let fly from 25 yards with a strike that flew just wide of the post on 72 minutes. 

With less than 10 minutes to go, Dundee United were awarded a penalty after a VAR call. John Beaton was sent to the monitor and subsequently pointed to the spot and showed Gogic a red card for a foul on Nikolaj Moller. Substitute Amar Fatah rolled it home to give the hosts the lead. They wrapped up the points in the final minute of time with Sibbald curling high into the net from the edge of the box.
