Malik Dijksteel makes move to Saints

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Malik Dijksteel from Cork City for an undisclosed fee subject to international clearance. 

The 24-year-old had recently signed a pre-contract agreement that would have seen him join Saints in January following the expiry of his contract at Cork. However, the club has moved to bring Malik to The SMiSA Stadium early on a contract until summer 2028.

The Dutch winger, who came through the academy at Feyenoord where he played alongside the likes of Jurrien Timber and Joshua Zirkzee, has made 11 appearances for Cork this season, scoring one goal.

After completing his move, Malik told stmirren.com: "I’m delighted.

"It’s good that I can join now and have a full season here. It allows me to get to know the manager and get to know how he works.

"The manager said he wants me to be me and be the player that I am. He wants me to beat players, excite the fans and work hard. That’s what you want to hear as a winger.

I got to do my first session today. It’s a good squad and everyone is very welcoming. The quality in the group is very good as well.

"I’ve watched some of the games on TV. You don’t know until you’re in it yourself, but it looks like a good level and I’m looking forward to it."

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "We’re really pleased.

Malik will add another bit of creativity and pace into the team. We think he’ll be a really exciting signing.

"He’s been playing football so we’re hoping he’s not too far off. He’ll certainly add real competition in those forward areas."

SMiSA funding adds new seats to take capacity over 8,000

Thanks to funding from SMiSA members, The SMiSA Stadium now has additional seating, increasing our capacity to just over 8,000.

These new seats, located at the back of the West and Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stands, ensure our stadium is now European competition league-phase compliant. While the stadium was compliant when it opened in 2009, the installation of the disabled viewing platform in the Main Stand back in 2016 reduced our capacity below 8,000.  

Following last season's UEFA Conference League qualification and regular capacity crowds, plans were put in motion to add these new seats. That has now come to fruition with the installation of almost 40 new seats ahead of the 2025/26 season getting underway. 

St Mirren Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley said: "We are thankful to SMiSA and their members for their continued support.

"Funding for projects like this provides a real tangible benefit and showcases the working relationship between SMiSA and the club."

SMiSA Board member Jim Cumming added: "SMiSA were approached by the club and asked if we could help support a couple of infrastructure projects around the club. Both would help increase the home support match day experience and help increase revenue into the club. 

"We are delighted that the members have backed this proposal to install the additional seats and we look forward to working with the club to assist with funding future projects."

Peter Urminsky joins Glentoran on loan

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Peter Urminsky has joined Glentoran on loan until the end of the season. 

The Slovakian goalkeeper signs with the NIFL Premiership for the remainder of the campaign with Saints retaining the option to recall in January.

Peter joined Saints in January 2020 following the expiry of his contract Spartak Trnava and subsequently had loan spells at Stenhousemuir and Ayr United. The six-foot-seven shot-stopper would then his St Mirren debut in a 2-0 victory over Cowdenbeath in the Premier Sports Cup in July 2022 before making his Scottish Premiership debut against Rangers in May 2023.

Peter featured in our matches against Arbroath and Forfar Athletic in the Premier Sports Cup at the beginning of this campaign and now moves for more regular game time to aid his development. 

Speaking ahead of his loan move, manager Stephen Robinson said: "Peter will go out on loan and get the minutes we keep talking about.

I believe the best way to develop is to play football. You get opportunities every day in training but you never know where somebody is, so he needs to go and play.

"It's a competitive league, there are real demands and I believe he'll excel. It's nothing but good to come back with that experience and potentially create another big asset at the football club."

We wish Peter the best of luck during his time at Glentoran.

Saints to face Hearts in Premier Sports Cup after win over Ayr United

St Mirren will face Hearts in the Round of 16 in the Premier Sports Cup after a 2-1 win over Ayr United saw Stephen Robinson's men top Group D.

A first-half double from Killian Phillips saw the Buddies defeat the Honest Men at The SMiSA Stadium to progress to the next round.

The Irishman put Saints ahead on 16 minutes as his low shot squirmed through the arms of David Mitchell and found the net despite the best efforts of Nick McAllister to try and keep it out. It was the culmination of a good move with Roland Idowu teeing up his fellow countryman to give us the lead.

Killian Phillips opens the scoring

Clear cut chances were at a premium with Fraser Taylor volleying over from 25 yards and ex-Saint Curtis Main attempting to beat debutant Shamal George from the half-way the best of opportunities after the goal. 

The Buddies would add a second with seven minutes of the first-half remaining. Idowu's persistence and tenacity down the left-hand side saw the forward pick out Phillips whose tidy first time finish gave Stephen Robinson's men a deserved two-goal lead heading into the break.

Saints should have made it three on the hour mark when O'Hara won the ball deep in his half and the Buddies charged forward on a quick counter. Idowu rolled the ball into the path of Mikael Mandron who looked poised to put the game beyond doubt, but the striker fired wide of the near post.

Frustratingly, Saints would go from having a glorious opportunity to all but seal the victory to seeing the deficit reduced just four minutes later. Kevin Holt peeled away from his marker and ghosted in at the back post to meet a deep corner. His powerful header beat George and Alex Gogic was unable to keep it from crossing the line. That came just a minute after a warning shot from the Honest Men when substitute Dominic Thomas curled just wide of the far post. 

The manager made a triple change as he introduced Oisin Smyth, Conor McMenamin and Jonah Ayunga in place of Taylor, Idowu and Mandron. With less than 10 minutes remaining, Alex Iacovitti was our fourth and final substitution as he replaced Richard King with Saints looking to see out the win. 

With Ayr putting pressure on in search of an equaliser, captain Mark O'Hara could have wrapped up the victory as we headed into injury-time, but the skipper dragged his shot wide. In the end it would prove immaterial as Saints saw out win to secure top spot and progression to the last 16 where we will face Hearts on the weekend of 16/17th August.

Visitor Information

  • Electronic Ticketing System

    At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.

    The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:

    • On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
    • Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
    • Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
    • Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.

    The whole process will only take a few seconds.

    Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

  • Street Parking on Matchday

    The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.

    Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.

    Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.

    St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.

  • Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day

    We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

    Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

    BY RAIL

    Get train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Paisley St James – exit from the station is straight onto Greenhill Road where the stadium is facing you. To plan your journey by rail with Scotrail please click HERE.

    BY BUS

    Most buses will stop at Paisley Cross or Mill Street, from both you will see the Paisley Town Hall. From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

    Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road. Access to the North Stand will be from Ferguslie Park Avenue.

Callum Penman moves to Queen of the South on season-long loan

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Callum Penman has joined Queen of the South on loan until the end of the season.

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate joins the Doonhamers for season 2025/26 with Saints having the option to recall in January. 

Callum made his Saints debut in our 2-1 win over Rangers as a late substitute and impressed on his first start for the Buddies in a 3-1 win away to Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup in January. A successful loan spell at Arbroath towards the end of last season saw Callum make 13 appearances and pick up a William Hill League One winners medal. 

The 18-year-old will now head to Dumfries for vital minutes as he continues his football development. We wish Callum the best of luck during his time at Queen of the South.
