It's a quick turnaround for Saints as we host Celtic at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Buddies go into Saturday's match on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle on Wednesday night. Saints held a deserved first-half lead after Mikael Mandron kept up his good run of goalscoring form to put us ahead. But three second-half goals saw Hearts pick up the points and move above Saints in the William Hill Premiership.

Stephen Robinson's men sit in seventh place in the league, two points off Hearts and six points behind fourth place Hibernian with five games remaining before the split.

The Opposition

Celtic got back to winning ways on Tuesday night with a 5-1 win over Aberdeen at Celtic Park.

Brendan Rodgers' men, who had suffered just their second league defeat of the season to Hibernian last weekend, defeated the Dons emphatically at Celtic Park to remain 13 points clear of second place Rangers with 10 games to go in the William Hill Premiership this season.

Celtic have come out on top in the two meetings between the two sides so far this season, winning 3-0 at both The SMiSA Stadium and Celtic Park.

Our last win against the Hoops came in September 2022 when goals from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga saw us defeat the Glasgow side 2-0 at The SMiSA Stadium. 

The Officials

Matthew MacDermid takes charge of Saturday's match. He'll be assisted by Calum Spence and Steven Traynor. 

Andrew Dallas is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

St Mirren were beaten at Tynecastle as Hearts came from behind to defeat Saints 3-1 in the William Hill Premiership.

Mikael Mandron's fifth goal in six games gave the Buddies a thoroughly deserved half-time lead. But two goals in seven second-half minutes saw Hearts go ahead before the Gorgie side added a third in injury-time to secure the points.

Stephen Robinson named the same starting lineup that defeated Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday and that meant a 100th St Mirren appearance for captain Mark O'Hara.

A quiet opening 20 minutes was briefly stirred by a VAR check for a St Mirren penalty when Marcus Fraser was clattered by Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon as he came to collect a Declan John free-kick. But the defender was offside when the ball was played in so no penalty was awarded. 

Richard Taylor made a brilliant goal-saving challenge just before the half-hour mark when Lawrence Shankland sent James Wilson in the clear. The young forward looked primed to fire the hosts ahead but Taylor showed great pace and got the challenge spot on to keep it level.

Saints hit the front on 37 minutes when Mandron scored his fifth goal in his last six appearances. Ryan Alebiosu's deep cross found John in acres of space on the far end of the box where the Welsh full-back met it first time on the volley. His effort was blocked, but it fell kindly to Mandron who finished low beyond Gordon to keep up his good run of goalscoring form.

Buddies boss Robinson was forced into two changes at the break with the introduction of Elvis Bwomono and Toyosi Olusanya in place of Alebiosu and Jonah Ayunga.

Saints had two big opportunities to double their lead a little less than 10 minutes after the restart. Taylor headed wide from a John corner before Olusanya saw an effort saved by the feet of Gordon a minute later. And frustratingly, just a minute after that, the hosts drew level. James Penrice's cross evaded the head of Alex Gogic and Taylor's attempted clearance spun up in the air before landing at James Wilson who finished beyond Zach Hemming.

Hearts took the lead on 62 minutes when Calem Nieuwenhof fired the home side ahead. It was a stunning strike from the Jambos midfielder as he curled into the net from 20 yards. 

Saints thought they had been reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes remaining when Killian Phillips was shown a straight red card by referee Euan Anderson after a foul on Jamie McCart. The whistler showed little hesitation in producing the red, but was advised by the VAR to review the decision on the pitchside monitor and eventually downgraded to a yellow. Phillips was then replaced by Greg Kiltie who saw a low strike held by Gordon on 83 minutes. John also had an opportunity in the final minutes of normal time when he was slipped in by Mandron, but his strike was blocked.

Hearts added a third on the counter deep into stoppage with Kenneth Vargas on the end of Jorge Grant's low pass to finish from close range.

St Mirren defeated Rangers at Ibrox for the first time since 1991 as goals from Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya saw the Buddies deservedly win 2-0 in Govan. 

A strong first-half performance saw Saints go in level at the break and they got their rewards in the second 45 when Mandron and Olusanya struck to ensure a famous win on the third anniversary of manager Stephen Robinson's appointment. 

There was one change to the side that drew with Hibernian last weekend as Jonah Ayunga came in for Toyosi Olusanya. And it was the Kenyan forward who was presented with a brilliant early opportunity to put Saints ahead with just eight minutes on the clock. Jack Butland sent a low clearance straight to the feet of the Ayunga. He took a touch before his powerful strike was pushed away by the Rangers goalkeeper who got two strong hands behind it. The rebound fell to Mikael Mandron who took it first time with Butland tipping over. 

Rangers forced a saved from Zach Hemming a few minutes later when Vaclav Cerny got a shot away, but it was straight at the stopper. 

Some loose play in the Saints defence saw Rangers steal the ball around 25 yards from goal with Hamza Igamane firing over. The Rangers forward was shown a straight red card as the game approached half-time when he went in hard on Saints skipper Mark O'Hara. But referee Kevin Clancy was advised to have a look at the incident again on the pitchside monitor by the VAR and he downgraded to a yellow. 

The Buddies started the second-half with the same intent that they showed in the first. Caolan Boyd-Munce was inches away from seeing his cross sneak into the top corner of the net on 48 minutes.

And the Saints' would hit the front just three minutes later when Mandron fired home. Hemming launched it forward, Ayunga won his header to send Mandron clear and he blasted beyond Butland. It was initially disallowed as the referee believed the striker had fouled Clinton Nsiala but a long VAR check showed the 'Gers defender had clipped his own heels and the goal was given. 

That sparked Rangers into some action with Nicolas Raskin seeing a long-range effort pushed away by Hemming just before the hour mark before Cerny drilled a powerful strike wide four minutes later. 

Stephen Robinson made a triple change on 65 minutes and one of the subs, Olusanya, would send Saints into dreamland when he doubled our advantage. Killian Phillips flipped the ball over the top and Olusanya outmuscled Nsiala to strike beyond Butland to make it 2-0.

Marcus Fraser was inches away from adding a third with a little over 10 minutes to go when he headed just over from a corner, but two would do as Saints completed our first back-to-back wins over the Light Blues since 1980.

St Mirren Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our former captain Cammy Murray.

A true St Mirren legend, Cammy, who played as a defender during his time at the Buddies, joined the club from Drumchapel Amateurs in 1962 and made his Saints debut in a 3-3 draw against Hibernian at Love Street. 

During a 10 year spell in Paisley, Cammy made a total of 417 appearances in the black and white and was a part of the famous 1967-68 Second Division Championship winning side. 

Between August 1964 and April 1967, Cammy featured in 131 matches in all competitions - the record for most consecutive competitive appearances for St Mirren. He also holds the record for most consecutive league appearances after playing 170 league matches in a row between August 1962 and April 1967.

After a decade with the Buddies, Cammy would move on to Motherwell before ending his playing career at Arbroath. 

In 2019, Cammy was honoured for his service to St Mirren when he was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame. 

The thoughts of everyone at St Mirren are with Cammy's loved ones at this difficult time. 

St Mirren are on the road on Saturday as we make the short trip to Ibrox where we face Rangers in the William Hill Premiership. 

The Buddies moved back into the top six on Sunday following a 0-0 draw against Hibernian at The SMiSA Stadium. In an incredibly tight league, Saints are just seven points off Aberdeen who sit in third and four points ahead of 11th place Dundee with seven matches remaining before the split.

The Opposition

Philippe Clement's men bounced back from their shock Scottish Cup exit at home to Queen's Park with a 3-1 win away to Hearts on Sunday. That maintained the Ibrox side's good form in the league, having won their last five in the William Hill Premiership. They sit in second place - 13 points behind leaders Celtic.

Saints picked up a first league win over Rangers since 2011 when Caolan Boyd-Munce's injury-time goal saw us defeat the Gers 2-1 in Paisley on Boxing Day. 

The Buddies were edged out on our last visit to Ibrox, losing 2-1 in October. Alex Gogic put Saints level after Rangers had taken an early lead. But Vaclav Cerny would score a winner for the Light Blues in the second-half.
