The Buddies go into Tuesday night's match following our penalty shoot-out victory over Livingston in the Scottish Cup on Saturday. Roland Idowu gave Saints an early lead before Scott Arfield levelled for the hosts. Evan Mooney, Marcus Fraser, Liam Donnelly and Malik Dijksteel all netted from the penalty spot to see Saints progress to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup.

Our last league victory came on 20th December when we defeated Livingston 1-0 at The SMiSA Stadium thanks to Mikael Mandron's second-half goal. 

Livingston's only league win this season came back in August when the Lions defeated Falkirk 3-1 at The Home of the Set Fare Arena. 

Saints sit eight points ahead of Livingston in the William Hill Premiership and know a win could move them 11 clear of the bottom and seven clear of 11th place Kilmarnock. A win for Livingston would lift them to within a point of Kilmarnock in their hopes to avoid relegation.

St Mirren will face Airdrieonians in the Fifth Round of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Saints have been drawn away to William Hill Championship side with the tie due to take place on the weekend of February 7th.

The Buddies progressed to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup following a 4-3 penalty shoot-out victory over Livingston.

Full fixture details including ticketing arrangements will be announced in due course. 

St Mirren claimed their third penalty shoot-out victory of the season as the Buddies defeated Livingston to progress to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Neither side could be separated following 120 minutes after Roland Idowu's early goal was cancelled out by a Scott Arfield equaliser. 

Malik Dijksteel scored the winning spot-kick for Stephen Robinson's men after Evan Mooney, Marcus Fraser and Liam Donnelly had stuck away their penalties to see us into the hat for the next round.

The Buddies were quick out the blocks and could have taken the lead just 20 seconds into the match with Killian Phillips seeing a shot blocked inside the Livingston box. 

Saints' bright start was rewarded with only three minutes on the clock. Phillips fed the ball through to Jayden Richardson who'd broken through the Livi backline to reach the inch perfect pass from the Irishman. Richardson - the only change from Wednesday night's defeat to Hearts as he replaced the injured Conor McMenamin - sent a low cross into the box where it found an unmarked Idowu at the far post and he fired the Buddies ahead.

Frustratingly, Livingston would draw themselves level just eight minutes later through Scott Arfield. Josh Brenet let the ball run through for the veteran midfielder who managed to get in ahead of Miguel Freckleton to poke beyond Shamal George.

It was end-to-end stuff in the opening period. Richard King lashed over from a tight angle on 14 minutes, while Declan John sent an effort just wide of target after receiving Idowu's cut-back nine minutes after. 

Livingston's Lewis Smith dragged a strike by the post on 27 minutes before Oisin Smyth volleyed Richardson's cross wide on 36 minutes. It was a big chance for the Northern Irishman who found himself in space and connected well with it, but he couldn't guide it on target. 

Saints started the second-half with intent as Phillips sent a teasing low ball across the face of the Livingston goal on 48 minutes. Unfortunately there were no takers for the Buddies. Mo Susoho sent an effort wide of target as the game ticking into the hour mark. 60 minutes brought the first change of the match of the match with Saints introducing Dan Nlundulu in place of Smyth.  

Livingston created half chances, but none that caused any real danger for George who gathered a header from Robbie Muirhead and save a long-distance shot from Connor McLennan. 

It was end-to-end stuff as we heading into the final 20 minutes of normal time. Mikael Mandron's low pass on 72 minutes just missed Nlundulu in the box, but found Richardson ghosting in at the back post. He, however, sent the strike off target. 

George was called into action four minutes later when Livi substitute Stevie May had managed to get himself in behind the Saints defence. The goalkeeper was off his line quickly and made a huge stop to deny Livingston the lead. Moments later, following the resulting corner, Muirhead sent a powerful strike from 25 yards inches over the bar. Two minutes after, it was the Buddies' turn. Nlundulu looked primed to put us in front when he was picked out by Mandron, but a wonderful save from Jerome Prior kept the effort out from point blank range.

As the game ticked towards the end of normal time, it was clear that 90 minutes wasn't going to separate either side and so it proved to be as we headed to extra-time. Both teams had opportunities with Nlundulu seeing a shot blocked inside the area after good work from Mooney, who replaced Idowu on 104 minutes. George made a brilliant save at full-stretch to tip a Jeremy Bokila header over the bar.

Extra-time wasn't enough to find a winner and the game had to be decided on spot-kicks. Livingston went first, but saw Bokila blaze the first attempt over the bar. Evan Mooney gave Saints the advantage with an emphatic finish. Both captains were up next with Ryan McGowan scoring for Livingston and Marcus Fraser doing likewise for Saints. Susoho scored for the hosts to bring it back to 2-2 before substitute Liam Donnelly's effort squeezed in despite Prior getting a hand to it. George saved from Tete Yengi to give Richard King a chance to win it, but the Jamaican saw his attempt saved by Prior. Stevie May had to score for Livingston and did.

The final spot-kick would go to Dijksteel and the Dutchman, who scored winning efforts in our shoot-out victories over Hearts and Kilmarnock in the Premier Sports Cup earlier in the season, would have a chance to again be the hero. He duly obliged by firing low into the left-hand corner of the net to ensure Saints' name will be in the hat for the Fifth Round.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Jake Young from English League One side Stevenage, subject to international clearance.

The forward puts pen-to-paper on an 18-month deal that sees him at St Mirren until summer 2027. The 24-year-old adds to manager Stephen Robinson’s attacking options as he becomes our second signing of the January window.

Jake joined Stevenage in 2024 after a prolific loan spell at Swindon Town where he scored 16 goals in 26 appearances for the Robins. As well as his time at the Lamex Stadium, Jake has also had spells at Forest Green Rovers, Bradford City and Barrow.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Jake said: "It’s a good feeling and I’m excited to get going.

I’ve heard a lot about it here and the recent success the club has had so looking forward to getting started and showing the fans what I’m about.

"I’ve got a lot of mates who have been up in Scotland. I know Jayden [Richardson] and I had a chat with him about the place and the culture here, so it was a no brainer.

I like to think that I’m an exciting player who can make stuff happen and help the team win games.

"I want to help us win some points and get us up the table. I’m looking forward to getting out there, finding my feet and getting some goals."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "Jake had a brilliant spell at Swindon where he scored a lot of goals. 

We’ve chased him for a number of weeks, and he gives us an outlet in behind. He likes to play up front with somebody, run off them and he has a proven record of scoring goals and that’s something we’ve definitely been missing, that clinical edge.

"He’ll certainly add to that, if we can get the clearance over the line, but it’s more likely he’s involved on Tuesday."

It's Scottish Gas Scottish Cup for St Mirren on Saturday as the Buddies face Livingston.

Saints are looking to put an end to a four game losing run following Wednesday night's 2-0 loss away to Hearts. 

The Buddies, who won the Premier Sports Cup last month, reached the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup last season, the third consecutive season we've reached that point, but lost on penalties to Hearts after a 1-1 draw at The SMiSA Stadium. 

Livingston reached the quarter-final stage of the Scottish Cup last season where they came up against St Johnstone. The Lions were edged out, losing 1-0 at home after a stunning goal from ex-Saint Graham Carey.

David Martindale's side picked up a point in their William Hill Premiership match at home to Kilmarnock on Saturday following a 1-1 draw at The Home of the Set Fare Arena. That put to an end a run of four defeats in a row for the Lions. Their last win in any competition came in August when they defeated Falkirk 3-1 in Livingston.

The sides have met once this season with Mikael Mandron's goal securing a 1-0 victory for Saints at The SMiSA Stadium in December. The Buddies are due to face Livingston again, this time in league action, on Tuesday evening.

The Officials

The referee on Saturday is Matthew MacDermid. There is no VAR at this match.

St Mirren were defeated at Tynecastle by league leaders Hearts.

Hearts played the majority of the game with 10 men after Beni Baningime’s first-half red card, but scored twice in the second half to inflict a fourth defeat in a row on St Mirren who remain in 10th in the William Hill Premiership.

The Buddies were undefeated against Hearts this season and were looking for their first win at Tynecastle since 2023 after losing their last three matches in Gorgie.

Stephen Robinson made three changes from the weekend defeat to Falkirk. Shamal George and Killian Phillips were fit to start, with Alex Gogic made his return from suspension, Oisin Smyth went straight into the starting 11 after getting recalled from Partick Thistle, and Roland Idowu came in for the injured Liam Donnelly, Dan Nlundulu and Fraser Taylor. Donnelly, Mark O’Hara, Jonah Ayunga and Keanu Baccus all missed out through injury.

Hearts got the game underway but it was St Mirren who got the first sight of goal. A quick thrown in on the right-hand side found Conor McMenamin, whose first time strike went over the bar.

A quarter of the way through the first-half there was a high challenge from Baningime on Idowu. Clancy initially gave a yellow card but after a VAR check Baningime was given his marching orders, leaving Hearts to play with 10 men for the second game in a row.

Moments later the Buddies thought that they had taken the lead. Devlin was caught on the ball, after being surrounded by St Mirren players. The ball found its way to Idowu just inside the box on the left-hand side and his curling effort went into the back of the net before being given as offside.

Hearts responded with two great chances. The first being after a skilful run from Kyziridis found Milne on the left-hand side. His low cross was put wide by Braga. The second came in the very next attack after a huge clearance from Steinwender, Richard King lost track of the ball. Braga pounced on the mistake but smashed the ball over George’s goal.

St Mirren again had the ball in the back of the net but was again given as offside. After a sliced Gogic shot found its way to Idowu, his shot was saved by Gordon but ricocheted off Milne into the Hearts goal. The goal was chopped off after Idowu was in an offside position. 

The hosts should have taken the lead right on the stroke of half time. Lawrence Shankland put pressure on King with his clearance hitting off the Hearts striker into the hands of George. George rolled it out to Smyth, who got the ball taken off him at the top of the box by Kyziridis. The Hearts winger then couldn’t get the ball past George, with Braga’s shot then being deflected for a corner to end the half.

The second half started out scrappy, with Hearts getting the first chance 10 minutes in. A positive run from Milne on the left-hand side found Kyziridis whose shot was deflected for a corner.

Hearts kept up the pressure after a low driven cross from Braga found Shankland. His shot was unable to get past George in goal, who rushed out making a big save.

The Saints then made a double substitution with Nlundulu and Malik Dijksteel coming on for Smyth and Conor McMenamin.

The hosts’ pressure paid off on the hour mark courtesy of a Shankland goal. Spittal nicked the ball of Dijksteel with his low cross finding Shankland, who slotted the ball past George.

St Mirren looked to respond quickly, with a John corner being headed just over from Gogic and Phillips hitting the side netting moments later. King was then replaced by Campbell.

Hearts responded with a triple change with Braga, Kyziridis and Spittal being replaced by Kabore, Magnusson and McCart.

A ball over the top from Campbell found John on the right-hand side, his deep cross found Dijksteel with the header hitting the side netting. Kent then came on to replace Shankland for the hosts.

The Jambos, after absorbing a lot of pressure, went on the attack with Kabore. He found Milne with his shot being parried away by George. Magnusson was quickest off the mark as he headed in to double the hosts’ lead. Richardson was then brought on for Fraser for St Mirren.

St Mirren were pushing to get a goal back, with Idowu hitting the post from a cross. Altena then came on to replace an injured Devlin for Hearts.

The Buddies came close to a goal, John picked out Phillips, with his powerful shot being saved by Gordon, just before the ref blew for full time.

St Mirren's starting lineup for tonight's William Hill Premiership match away to Hearts has been confirmed with manager Stephen Robinson making three changes from Saturday's match against Falkirk.

Oisin Smyth is one of the three changes as he comes into the starting lineup after returning from his loan spell at Partick Thistle. Alongside Oisin, Alex Gogic returns from suspension while Roland Idowu is also given a start.

Those changes mean that Liam Donnelly, Fraser Taylor and Dan Nlundulu drop out with the latter pair on the bench. While Donnelly misses out after coming off injured on Saturday, there's positive news with Shamal George and Killian Phillips shaking off injury concerns to start.
