Stephen Robinson gives his thoughts following our hard-fought point at Kilmarnock.

St Mirren began 2023 with a hard-earned point away to Kilmarnock with Saints having to play over 85 minutes with 10 men following Ethan Erhahon early red card.

Stephen Robinson's men battled throughout the 90 minutes and were well worthy of at least a point that in front of a travelling support of almost 1500 Buddies.

The manager was forced into two changes from the side that started in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Livingston. Mark O'Hara missed out through suspension, while Jonah Ayunga was ruled out due to a knock. That meant Greg Kiltie and Eamonn Brophy came into the starting eleven. 

Saints were up against it early on with Erhahon shown a straight red card on seven minutes after catching Rory McKenzie on the face with his arm. The manager made a change in response to going down to 10 men with Alex Gogic coming on in place of Brophy. 

Despite playing with a man less the Buddies were coping well and had the first real opportunity of the match with Curtis Main firing wide on 21 minutes after a neat passage of play. 

Trevor Carson was called into action for the first time just before the half hour mark when he made a terrific save to turn Blair Alston's effort round the post. A minute later Saints weren't too far away with Keanu Baccus flashing a volley wide from 20 yards. 

Saints fought away well in the opening 10 minutes of the second 45 with Kilmarnock goalkeeper Sam Walker blocking well with his feet to turn away Ryan Strain's low ball in from the right. A minute later Baccus passed up a big opportunity after being found by Main in the middle of the Killie box, but he got the shot wrong and sclaffed wide. 

The game was very much in the balance and Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes responded by bringing on ex-Saint Jordan Jones in place of Blair Alston on 63 minutes.

The home side were seeing more of the ball as they looked to capitalise on the man advantage but Carson was relatively untested heading into the final 15 minutes. Stephen Robinson brought Ryan Flynn on for Kiltie on 78 minutes. 

Carson was called into action with less than 10 minutes remaining with the Northern Ireland international making a brilliant two-handed save to push Christian Doidge's header over the bar from point blank range.

Another two changes were made with Joe Shaughnessy and Alex Greive entering the fray for Saints on 84 minutes and heading into the final moments it was the latter who could have won it for the Buddies. Scott Tanser's corner was cleared but Marcus Fraser got the ball back into the area where it found substitute Alex Greive, but the New Zealand forward blazed inches over the bar.

We can confirm that St Mirren Youth Academy graduate Luke Kenny has signed a contract extension. 

The 19-year-old defender signed his first professional contract with the club in 2020 and that has now been extended. 

Luke is currently on loan at Lowland League side East Kilbride to gain valuable playing experience that will help aid his development. 

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Richard Taylor on a deal until the end of the season - subject to international clearance - with the club holding an option to extend further.

The defender joins the club following the expiry of his contract at League of Ireland First Division side Waterford where he made 33 appearances.

The 22-year-old Englishman began his career at Burnley before signing for Southend United in 2019. Richard would have further spells at Barnet, Dulwich Hamlet and Dagenham & Redbridge before signing for Waterford in January last year.

Speaking on the signing, manager Stephen Robinson said: "Richard came to our attention as a left-sided centre-half and left-footed defenders is something we don’t have a lot of.

"He has very good attributes. He’s six-foot-three, very quick and has a good left-foot.

"He’s someone who will come in on a short-term deal to challenge for a place and give us a bit more depth.

"With Jay Henderson going out for game time it’s allowed us to use his wage to bring Richard in on a short-term deal with the potential to earn a longer deal which I’m quietly confident he will do."

St Mirren Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Frank McGarvey at the age of 66. 

Frank McGarvey arrived at Love Street in December 1974 and became a regular during 1975-76. The striker’s first competitive goal came in a League Cup win over East Fife on the 9th August. He went on to score 11 times from 40 appearances.

1976-77 was the season that Fergie’s Furies came of age and none more so than Frank. He scored 17 league goals as Saints marched to the old First Division title and promotion to the Premier League. 

Frank was the star as the title was clinched at Dens Park on the 19th April, claiming his first senior hat-trick in a 4-0 rout of Dundee. This form was not unnoticed with Frank winning a Scotland Under-21 cap against England. He added a second against Czechoslovakia in September, as his good form continued in the top-flight. 

McGarvey again scored 17 league goals with six in cup competition to remain Saints' top scorer. He gained further honours when he played for the Scottish League side against the Italian League in April 1978.

McGarvey continued to score goals in the 1978/79 season with 13 seeing his top scorer again. This form attracted the attention of English clubs and it was no surprise when Liverpool took him south in May 1979.

After 10 months at Anfield, Frank returned to Scotland for a five-year spell at Celtic, culminating in scoring the winner in the 1985 Scottish Cup final - his final match for Celtic. 

He would return to Love Street in June 1985 and was soon back in scoring in the black and white, netting in his second match. He ended the season with 12 goals, including a double in our UEFA Cup victory over Slavia Prague.

The 1987 Scottish Cup was, by McGarvey’s own admission, one of the highlights of his career. Wins over Caledonian, Raith Rovers and Morton took Saints to Hampden for a semi-final against Hearts. With the score tied at 1-1, the ball broke to Frank inside the six-yard box and he managed to guide it under Henry Smith, to take Saints into the final.

16th May 1987. 10 years after helping Saints win the First Division; McGarvey played his part as the Scottish Cup returned to Paisley.

In April 1988 manager Alex Smith resigned and Tony Fitzpatrick took over with Frank named player/assistant manager. His final season at the club saw him concentrate more on the managerial role, making just four appearances during 1989-90. His final match was against Hibernian on the 16th September. At the end of the season he joined Queen of the South as player/manager.

In May 2005, McGarvey was inducted into the St Mirren Hall of Fame having made 341 appearances scoring 102 goals across his two spells at the club. 

Frank will forever be remembered at St Mirren and our deepest condolences are with Frank's loved ones at this very sad time. 

Rest in peace, Frank.

St Mirren Football Club is pleased to confirm that Peter Urminsky has signed a one-year extension to his current contract which keeps him at the club until summer 2024.

The six-foot-five Slovakian goalkeeper joined Saints in January 2020 and went on to have loan spells with Ayr United and Stenhousemuir before making his first-team debut in July 2022 against Cowdenbeath in the Viaplay Cup.

Peter made further starts against Airdrieonians and FC Edinburgh and has been on the bench for all our cinch Premiership matches this season as backup to Trevor Carson. 

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Peter has been excellent any time he has come into the team.

"He's got real stature, a good kick on him and he's getting better and better with every training session and I think what we have on our hands is an asset. 

"He's someone we were very keen to secure on a new contract."

Peter follows Greg Kiltie and Luke Kenny who have also signed extensions with the club this week. 

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Jay Henderson will join cinch Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle on loan until the end of the season.

The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate has made 38 first-team appearances since making his debut in April 2021.

Game time has been limited for the 20-year-old this season and it was felt important for Jay to gain valuable playing experience to continue his development ahead of next season.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "With no reserve side at the moment it's important that Jay goes out and gets games so he becomes an option for next season.

"We're sending him to a club that play the right way with good people in charge of it. Moving away from home and having to deal with the ups and downs of football we feel will bring Jay on tremendously. 

"We've done this with Kieran Offord, Lewis Jamieson, Dean McMaster, Ewan Thomson and Aiden Gilmartin and we feel it will benefit all the players." 

Everyone at St Mirren wishes Jay well in his time at Inverness.

Our postponed cinch Premiership fixture away to Motherwell - originally scheduled for Saturday 17th December - will now take place on Wednesday 15th February.

Previous

Neither side could be separated in the only league meeting of the two this season when Kilmarnock visited the SMiSA Stadium in October. There was little between the two sides though Saints goalkeeper Trevor Carson made a couple of good saves to earn his clean sheet in the 0-0 draw.

This is our first trip to Rugby Park since May 2021 when the spoils were shared in a six goal thriller. A Kyle Lafferty double put Kilmarnock 2-0 ahead, but Jamie McGrath and Cammy MacPherson pulled Saints level. Greg Kiltie scored to put Kilmarnock back in front, but Collin Quaner scored soon after to make it 3-3 and give Saints a point.

St Mirren are unbeaten in their last five against Kilmarnock - a run that goes back to September 2020 when Kilmarnock won 1-0 at the SMiSA Stadium. 

Our last league win at Rugby Park was in May 2013 when goals from John McGinn, Paul McGowan and Conor Newton saw us end the 2012/13 campaign with a victory.
