St Mirren are a top six team for the third season on the bounce after a dramatic finale before the split. 

Stephen Robinson's men had to come from behind, but did their bit thanks to goals from Caolan Boyd-Munce, Jonah Ayunga and Roland Idowu. Hearts' failure to win away to Motherwell saw the Saints take the final top six spot in the William Hill Premiership. 

After a fairly uneventful opening 20 minutes, it was the visitors who would hit the front. Jordan White's initial effort was scrambled off the line before Zach Hemming brilliantly blocked the follow-up from Joshua Nisbet. But it would then fall to Ronan Hale who lashed into the net. 

Hale was close to adding his County's second five minutes later. The striker managed to in behind Alex Gogic and forced a good save from Hemming at the near post. Hemming was alert again on 35 minutes when he got down low to save a long-range effort from Noah Kenneh.

Saints had struggled to get going but found inspiration from a wonderful long-range strike from Boyd-Munce to draw us level on 36 minutes. It was the midfielder's fourth goal in four games and he almost did it again from similar range just before the interval only for Ross County goalkeeper Jordan Amissah to push away.

The Buddies started the second-half with the bit between their teeth and went ahead five minutes after the restart when Ayunga netted his first goal since October. The forward reached a wonderful inch perfect pass from Boyd-Munce and while he couldn't force by Amissah at first attempt, he managed to fire home to put Saints in pole position for top six. 

But the drama wouldn't end there as Ross County drew level just after the hour. A Zach Ashworth corner found Jordan White at the far post and the striker headed into the net to make it 2-2 despite the best efforts of Boyd-Munce to try and keep it out.

The manager made two substitutions with around 10 minutes to go when Idowu and Conor McMenamin were introduced in place of Mark O'Hara and Ryan Alebiosu. The substitutes combined within three minutes of their introduction when McMenamin's cross picked out Idowu, but the Irishman agonisingly headed over from close-range. Idowu would prove to be the hero however as he fired home the winner on 86 minutes. The forward found McMenamin's pass and worked well to fashion the space before angling a low drive beyond Amissah from 20 yards.

News filtered through of Hearts' 0-0 draw away to Motherwell to rapturous celebration at The SMiSA Stadium and that was topped when referee Calum Scott blew the full-time whistle to confirm Saints' place in the top six for the third season in a row.

St Mirren host Ross County at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday in the final match before the split. 

Despite a defeat away to Dundee last weekend, Saints remain in the hunt for the final top six spot. However, for the Buddies to secure a third consecutive top six finish they must win on Saturday and hope that Hearts don't win away to Motherwell. 

Match Details

St Mirren v Ross County
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 12th April 2025
Kick-off: 3pm 
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium

The Opposition

Ross County will be looking to go level on points with Saints and spoil our top six hopes when they visit on Saturday. Don Cowie's men currently sit three points behind the Buddies. 

The Staggies have lost four of their last five matches in the William Hill Premiership, losing narrowly to Aberdeen and Dundee United (0-1) in their previous two matches. Their one win in that run saw them defeat Kilmarnock 1-0 at the Global Energy Stadium last month.

Oisin Smyth's spectacular late free-kick saw Saints defeat Ross County 2-1 in Dingwall in the last meeting between the two sides back in December. Alex Iacovitti's goal put us ahead in the first-half before Michee Efete equalised early in the second-half. Scott Tanser was sent off, but 10 men Saints took the points thanks to Smyth's brilliant 89th minute strike. 

County picked up a point in Paisley earlier in the season following a 0-0 draw at The SMiSA Stadium in November. 

The Officials

Calum Scott is the referee on Saturday. He's assisted by Calum Spence and Craig Ferguson with Nick Walsh on Video Assistant Referee (VAR) duty.

St Mirren's hopes of a third consecutive top six finish took a big dent following a frustrating loss away to Dundee. Simon Murray scored twice for the hosts, whilst Saints passed up a number of opportunities to score on a disappointing afternoon for the Buddies. Stephen Robinson's men dominated possession, with 62% of the ball, and had 20 shots, but couldn't find a way past the Dark Blues. 

The manager named the same starting 11 that defeated Kilmarnock 5-1 last weekend, with Jonah Ayunga and Roland Idowu retaining their places leading the line, while Toyosi Olusanya returning to the bench after suspension ruled him out last week. 

Despite coming close with just 20 seconds on the clock when Mark O'Hara forced a save from Trevor Carson, it was the hosts who would hit the front early. Saints failed to clear their lines from Jordan McGhee's cross and that allowed Murray to lash into the net with only a little over a minute played.

Saints settled well in spite of the early setback and could have been level on nine minutes when Declan John's terrific ball in from the left found the head of Killian Phillips. But the Irishman could only send it straight at Carson. The St Mirren response was good and a quick counter presented another big opportunity to equalise on 18 minutes. Caolan Boyd-Munce broke at speed before feeding the ball to O'Hara. The captain searched for the unmarked Idowu who would have had a tap-in, but the ball was blocked and couldn't find the forward.

The Buddies came agonisingly close to drawing level in the final minutes of the first-half when a ball in from the right just missed the head of Idowu who was charging in. Any contact from the forward would have surely seen the ball hit the net. 

The manager made a double change at the start of the second-half with Idowu making way for Olusanya and Ryan Alebiosu having to be replaced by Scott Tanser after picking up a hamstring injury. Saints continued the way they'd ended the first-half following the restart, dominating possession and playing most of the match in Dundee's half. Boyd-Munce had two goes from distance in the space of a minute. The first was deflected into the arms of Carson before he sent a curling strike just over.

Carson made a decent save just after the hour mark to turn away a low free-kick from O'Hara 20 yards from goal as Saints continued to look for a route back into the match. But that challenge was made even tougher when Murray added his and Dundee's second on 64 minutes. Hemming clattered the ball straight at the Dundee forward who slotted into the empty net from distance.

Try as they might, the Buddies just couldn't find the net on a frustrating afternoon. O'Hara headed over from close range with around 20 minutes to go before substitute Mikael Mandron shot into the arms of Carson a minute later. Richard Taylor then saw a header from a Tanser cross crash off the bar on 74 minutes. Olusanya was the latest to come close, but again Carson was equal to the strike with just five minutes remaining as it proved not to be our day.

Brightest Star were the latest recipients of Help a Buddie tickets as they attended Saturday's 5-1 win over Kilmarnock at The SMiSA Stadium.

The local charity was chosen by members of the 1877 Supporters Club committee who collect donation money at every home match which is set aside for Help a Buddie. 

Brightest Star were given 15 tickets for Saturday's match and set up a table in the 1877 Supporters Club prior to kick-off to tell supporters about the work the charity carries out. 

Arlene Smith, Founder of Brightest Star told stmirren.com: "This is our fourth visit to St Mirren through Help a Buddie, and each time has been fantastic.

A family going through bereavement, particularly of a child, has to incur lots of costs outwith the obvious things such as a funeral. So getting some of our families along to the football without the usual costs is an amazing gesture by the supporters.

Iain McNair is a member of the 1877 Club Committee. He explained: "We have a guess the time of the first goal competition every match. The money make is split between the person who has the winning guess and Help a Buddie tickets.

It’s great to know our money is going towards helping people get to the football who otherwise wouldn’t be able to come."

"Last season we raised enough to buy 35 Help a Buddie tickets, and this season we set out with the goal of buying 40. We have already bought 38, so we are looking good to hit that target!"

Brightest Star 

Brightest Star is a charity that was set up in 2012 by Arlene Smith following the sudden passing of her son, Jack. The charity delivers support to families going through bereavement. 

They support families in a number of ways including through Memory Boxes, Grief Counselling, and offering children Play Therapy.

The charity has also funded a special ambulance called 'Jack’s Ambulance' which is equipped with enough space to accommodate beds for baby twins, or an adult bed, whilst still having space for the family of the patient to travel in the ambulance with them.

St Mirren Supporters Liaison Officer and Chair of the 1877 Club, Karin Pointon said: "Working as a nurse I, unfortunately, see Jack’s Ambulance a lot and Brightest Star have provided families in need vital medical equipment and a place to be together."

The Ticket Recipients

Colin Neil sadly lost his son Logan in 2021, and has been a part of Brightest Star since, with his family using their services. 

"It’s a club no one wants to be a part of, but we gained so many friends through Brightest Star and to have a day out at the football with them means the world to us."

He continued: "My partner’s dad and grandad supported St Mirren, so to bring their second and third generation to a game means a lot to them, and we even had a drive around Paisley and showed my son Lucas where his heritage is.

A massive thank you to St Mirren and their supporters who have given so much to Brightest Star over the years. This is the second time I have been here with Help A Buddie and it is great to have a day out like this without the financial pressure."

Arlene is also grateful to St Mirren supporters for their generosity.

Today gives families a chance to build happy memories, with the knowledge that they’re here because of their brother, sister, or child so it is so special to them."

Help a Buddie

Help a Buddie is an initiative where St Mirren supporters can purchase and donate match tickets to those less fortunate.

Karin Pointon commented: "The vision of the Football Club is to be the best community club in Scotland and within that, and within my role as SLO, it is vitally important that we give back to the community, and Help a Buddie does that."

We have been able to welcome a varied array of community groups and projects from across Paisley and Renfrewshire to the SMiSA Stadium since the project launched in 2022.

To donate a Help A Buddie ticket please click the link HERE.

We are on the road for the final time before the William Hill Premiership split with a trip to Dundee on Saturday.

The Buddies are seven points ahead of Saturday's opponents after 31 matches in the William Hill Premiership.

Stephen Robinson's men kept hopes of a third consecutive top six finish alive with a brilliant 5-1 win over Kilmarnock at The SMiSA Stadium last weekend. Saints are in seventh, a point behind Hearts who occupy the final top six spot.

Dundee v St Mirren
Competition: William Hill Premiership

The Opposition

Dundee suffered a late defeat to Rangers at Dens Park last weekend that saw them miss the opportunity to leapfrog Kilmarnock and move out of the relegation play-off spot. Tony Docherty's side led 2-0 and then 3-1, but lost 4-3 after an injury-time goal from Cyriel Dessers. 

The Dark Blues sit in 11th place in the William Hill Premiership, five points clear of bottom side St Johnstone and a point behind 10th place Kilmarnock. 

The points were shared on Saints' last visit to Dens Park with Toyosi Olusanya and Mikael Mandron scoring in a 2-2 draw in August. Dundee picked up all three points in the last meeting between the two with Simon Murray's double seeing the Dark Blues win 2-1 at The SMiSA Stadium in December.
