Form

The Buddies reached the quarter-final stage following a penalty shoot-out victory over Hearts at The SMiSA Stadium last month. Alex Gogic gave Saints a first-half lead before Oisin McEntee levelled for the Jam Tarts on 78 minutes to take the game to extra-time and penalties. Richard King, Marcus Fraser, Roland Idowu and Evan Mooney netted for Saints, while Shamal George saved Claudio Braga's attempt. That allowed Malik Dijksteel to step up and tuck away the final penalty as the Buddies claimed a 5-4 shoot-out win. 

Stephen Robinson's men are unbeaten in their last five in all competitions and picked up their first league win of the season away to Falkirk on Saturday. Goals from Declan John and Mikael Mandron saw the Saints win 2-1 at the Falkirk Stadium in the William Hill Premiership. 

Kilmarnock defeated Dundee United in the last 16 to progress to the quarter-final stage. Marcus Dackers and Brad Lyons scored for the Ayrshire side as they defeated the Arabs 2-1 at Rugby Park last month.

The Officials

David Dickinson is the referee on Friday night. There is no VAR in place for this match. 

St Mirren won their first Premiership match of the season with second-half goals from Declan John and Mikael Mandron giving Saints three points away to Falkirk.

The victory moves the Buddies to fourth place in the William Hill Premiership and extends our unbeaten league run to four matches. 

Manager Stephen Robinson, taking charge of his 400th match as a manager, named the same starting line-up for the fourth game in a row, while welcoming new signing Dan Nlundulu on to the bench as well as the returning Conor McMenamin.

A pretty listless opening to the match was briefly stirred on 24 minutes when a cross from John was met by Jonah Ayunga. The forward was always stretching and couldn't get his header on target. A minute later another dangerous ball from John found Jayden Richardson at the far end of the box. He checked inside before laying off to Killian Phillips on the edge of the area but the Irishman scooped over. 

Falkirk then came close three minutes later when Shamal George was caught out by a cross and that allowed Ross MacIver to send a header beyond the Saints goalkeeper. Miguel Freckleton was there to turn the ball over to deny the home side the opener. Lewis Neilson looked like he should have put the John McGlynn's side in front after the ball eventually fell to him from the resulting corner, but he fired over with the offside flag raised in any case. MacIver should have done better when he got himself on the end of a Brad Spencer free-kick just after the half-hour mark. His header was tame though and easy for George. 

Saints were forced into a change before the interval when Marcus Fraser, who fell awkwardly in the Saints box and injured his ankle, had to be replaced by Richard King on 42 minutes. 

The Buddies came out the better side after the interval and could have opened the scoring a little over 10 minutes after the restart. Richardson's cross picked out Mandron in the box and the forward brought it down on his chest before laying off to Mark O'Hara on the edge of the area. The skipper didn't get the connection he would have wanted as he fired over. 

Stephen Robinson's side would make the breakthrough on 64 minutes with John's deflected free-kick finding the net. Mandron was fouled 25 yards from goal with Falkirk captain Spencer booked for the challenge. John stood over it alongside Killian Phillips, but it was the Welshman who shot and it took a big deflection to wrong foot the Falkirk goalkeeper and find the net.

New signing Nlundulu was given his debut with 20 minutes remaining as he replaced Ayunga and he looked lively in his cameo. 

Phillips almost added a second for Saints on 71 minutes when his brilliant run saw him on the end of King's lifted ball over the top. The Irish midfielder brought it down well on his chest before forcing a big save from Bain. It was then the hosts who came close to levelling two minutes later when Calvin Miller's deflected cross almost sneaked in at the back post. 

Saints would double their advantage with less than 10 minutes remaining and once again John was integral. His stunning cross was straight on the head of Mandron who cleverly glanced into the net to put Saints on the way to three points.

But the Buddies never seem to do things the easy way and that came to pass on 88 minutes when substitute Brian Graham's header reduced the deficit and gave the near 7,000 home support encouragement heading into injury-time. As it were, it was Saints who came the closest to adding to their tally in the final minutes. It would have been 3-1 but for an excellent save from Bain denying a 20 yard strike from King. 

The three points make their way back to Paisley and give manager Stephen Robinson the perfect way to mark 400 matches as a manager.

Miguel Freckleton has settled in nicely at St Mirren.

The 22-year-old joined Stephen Robinson’s side from Sheffield United in July, penning a two-year deal with the Buddies.

The defender has impressed in his four appearances at Saints. He was named in the SPFL Team of the Week after our Premier Sports Cup victory over Hearts and scored his first goal in a 1-1 draw against Hibernian before the international break.

His assured performances at the back have quickly endeared him to the Buddies support and he’s enjoying himself at The SMiSA Stadium. That, in part, is due to his teammates who have warmly welcomed Miguel to the club and helped him overcome any initial doubts about moving away from family.

"It’s amazing," the defender told stmirren.com. "The boys have been amazing. I couldn't be happier.

When the move came around, I was a bit iffy because it's so far away from my family. But at the end of the day, I think the boys have helped me so much.

"It’s a credit to them as people as well, and the manager and the staff, and even just Scotland in general. I think it's a nice place so it's been good. It’s going well so far and it's nice to be here."

Showcasing his ability 

The young defender has shown his ability in his early sightings at Saints and he admits the opportunity to showcase himself was a big attraction in drawing him to Scotland.

"Coming here as well was another opportunity to showcase my ability because it's a big league and obviously it gets a lot of coverage and attention.

"St Mirren was perfect for me to come and try to show my ability. I'm young still so I want to get that exposure."

Demands

"I think it's good because the demand's high," Miguel continued.

"Especially in training, everyone's demanding. You don't get a break, being a young player or older, no one gets a break. Everyone's demanding off each other.

We've got international players here so the demand's high. I think the training, the intensity, and then the matches, you've just got to replicate what you do in training."

Off the Mark

Miguel opened his St Mirren account when he gave us the lead away to Hibernian in our 1-1 draw prior to the break. But the 21-year-old admits worries over a potential offside meant he didn't initially enjoy the moment as much as he could have. 

"It was nice celebrating to the away fans," he said. "Obviously, I didn't celebrate as much as I probably could have. But after I realised it was a goal I went to the manager and then back to celebrate to them [the supporters] because they were amazing. 

"It was a good delivery and a striker's finish!" he joked. 

"I got my first professional goal last season, so it was nice to get one early because sometimes it comes towards the end of the season and you're like 'oh I ain't got no goal' and in the back of your mind you're thinking 'I need one' so yeah early ones are nice to set the tone."

St Mirren Football Club has conducted an initial review of its accessibility policies and practices and wishes to communicate with supporters regarding future actions.

Following internal operational meetings in recognition of the importance of ensuring our supporters are included in policy creation, the club has engaged with a local independent disability charity – the multi-award winning I Am Me Scotland – www.iammescotland.co.uk. I Am Me is an organisation that began in Paisley in 2012, achieving charity status in 2015. It aims to promote equality and diversity by raising awareness of disability and tackling disability hate crimes. I Am Me has since gone on to develop many innovative initiatives, including the recently launched Disability Friendly initiative, which is a network of organisations across Scotland who aim to support disabled people to feel valued and included within their communities.

The club has met with representatives from the charity to discuss the potential for the club to become the first registered Disability Friendly club in Scotland.  As part of this discussion, I Am Me agreed to oversee the delivery of an independent accessibility review, which will look at all aspects of the club accessibility, including access, ticketing, facilities and support, ensuring that supporters and staff have the opportunity to be involved in the review.

The I Am Me team will initially use the ‘Help a Buddie’ tickets to undertake a mystery shopper exercise at the upcoming home fixture against Dundee. A group of people selected from I Am Me will attend. The individuals selected have varying disabilities and accessibility requirements, allowing them to understand a matchday experience from an independent point of view. Feedback from this exercise will be collated and help inform proposals/recommendations put forward to the review panel.

The I Am Me team will also run two in-person workshops conducted at the stadium, for supporters, these will be followed by a feedback session, ensuring participating supporters are included in the whole process. The workshops will be open to all supporters to apply and attend through an Eventbrite invite process, restricted to 30 attendees per session. As part of the information gathering process, we will also be distributing an online survey to the wider fanbase to get as many views as possible on accessibility across the club. To access the survey please click HERE.

The workshops, surveys and mystery shopping exercise will take an overall look at accessibility within the club, which will include access to the grounds, ticketing procedures and complete match day experience.

The aim is to create a well-rounded approach to reviewing the clubs accessibility processes and further identify other areas of improvement to allow supporters who have a disability, or additional support requirement, a more comfortable and inclusive approach to attending matches at The SMiSA Stadium. It is hoped that a full accessibility review will also provide opportunities for St Mirren to lead on inclusion and become a club that others seek to benchmark against.

An internal review panel will consider the recommendations from the workshops and the stakeholder survey. The panel will consist of representatives from the club, as well as SMiSA, the SLOs, St Mirren Disabled Supporters Association and other relevant external stakeholders. It will be chaired by an independent trustee of I Am Me Scotland.

The review findings will be used to draft a policy which will then be presented to the club board at the November board meeting for final review and sign off, with the aim to share with fans ahead of the launch of half season tickets.

Once the review has been completed, I Am Me Scotland will provide disability training for all operational staff and the club will be recognised as a Disability Friendly partner.

St Mirren Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley said: "We received important feedback from supporters over the summer surrounding our wheelchair, ambulant disabled supporters' and carer tickets.

"As a fan-owned club, we appreciate the importance of measured feedback and took seriously any concerns that supporters may have had.

"We have worked closely with I Am Me to understand issues surrounding accessibility at St Mirren and are pleased to confirm the creation of our accessibility review that will help shape best-in-class practices going forward.

"We want to enhance the matchday experience for all connected with St Mirren and ensure that everyone is welcome."
