St Mirren ended their pre-season preparations with a comfortable victory away to Airdrieonians. 

Mikael Mandron's scored a brace with a goal in each half ensuring a 2-0 win for the Buddies ahead of our Premier Sports Cup campaign getting underway on Saturday.

Saints controlled the match from the outset and could have found the net sooner than our 15th minute opener. Roland Idowu passed up an early chance when he shot into the side-netting after the Airdrieonians goalkeeper Cade Melrose spilled Jayden Richardson's low cross. The Diamonds stopper was called into action three minutes later as he made a good save to push away Killian Phillips' strike from 20 yards. Scott Tanser's ball over the top found Declan John who came inside before playing the ball to James Scott inside the area. Scott took one touch to lay it off for Ireland international Phillips who saw his effort saved. 

The Buddies would go ahead on 15 minutes when Mandron got on the end of Marcus Fraser's low pass and reversed his shot beyond Melrose to break the deadlock. 

Mandron should have added his and Saints' second 10 minutes before the break. The forward was fouled in the area and he stepped up to the spot after referee Matthew MacDermid awarded a penalty. Mandron was denied from 12 yards though as Melrose went the right way and got two strong hands behind it to push away. 

Airdrieonians hadn't caused any real issues before Peter Urminsky was forced into a good save three minutes after the restart to deny Jamie Barjonas. 

Saints were still in control and came close to a second when Mandron saw a low effort saved by Melrose a minute later before Richardson fired over from close-range. The second goal would come when Mandron got himself between two opposition defenders and bulleted home John's terrific ball in from the left to see out pre-season with a win.

Competitive action gets underway on Saturday as Stephen Robinson's men go to Gayfield to face Arbroath in our Group D opener in the Premier Sports Cup.

Stephen Robinson Post-Airdrieonians

Jamaican international Richard King has arrived at St Mirren after agreeing a two-year deal with Saints. 

The defender signed a deal until summer 2027 with the club holding an option to extend for a further year. He officially joined up with the Buddies last week following the conclusion of Jamaica's participation in the Concacaf Gold Cup.

Visa approval has now been received for the 23-year-old, however, he will not feature in tonight's friendly against Airdrieonians. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, Richard said: "I'm very excited to get working with the boys and the coaches. 

"It feels like a good place to be. There are some good lads and some nice people.

From my little time here, I can see the team is like a family. Everyone is close, really works together so I think it's really nice here. I know I'm in a good place."

St Mirren rounded off their pre-season training camp in Spain with a win over English League Two side MK Dons. 

First-half goals from Roland Idowu and Alex Iacovitti saw Stephen Robinson's men run out 2-1 winners at the Pinatar Arena this morning. 

Alex Gogic was rested entirely, while Liam Donnelly and Declan John missed out with niggles as the manager took no chances in the pre-season stage. 

It took just over a minute for Saints to hit the front. Jonah Ayunga rode a challenge from an MK Dons defender and worked his way into the box before playing a ball across to Idowu. The Irishman stumbled under a challenge but retain the ball and composed himself to fire home his third goal of pre-season. 

The Buddies had a good chance to double that lead 10 minutes later when a wonderful through ball from Killian Phillips found Ayunga racing clear. But MK Dons goalkeeper Connal Trueman was quickly off his line and did well to block at the edge of the area. As it would happen, Ayunga would find the net. Unfortunately it was his own when he turned in a dangerous cross from Liam Kelly on 17 minutes as Dons drew level.

Saints should have retaken the lead four minutes later when a brilliant delivery from Mark O'Hara's corner found the head of Marcus Fraser, but the defender headed over from close-range. 

The Buddies would go back in front, however, just before the interval. O'Hara's cross-field pass found Conor McMenamin who burst forward before seeing his shot blocked, while also arguing he should have had a penalty for a tug. The ball would fall to Ayunga who saw his strike from the edge of the area deflected just over. Iacovitti would meet McMenamin's delivery from the resulting corner and he nodded home at the near post. 

Alex Iacovitti scored Saints' second

There were six changes for Saints at the break, while MK Dons changed their line-up for the second 45. 

The English side came close to drawing level on 51 minutes when Aaron Collins pounced upon a loose ball deep in the Saints half. Space opened up for the strike as he carried the ball forward, but he dragged it wide of the left-hand post. 

Four minutes later, Rushian Hepburn-Murphy wasn't far away when he came in from the left and fizzed a powerful drive just wide of the far post. 

There were more changes for Saints with 25 minutes to go with Academy players Billy Hutchison, Thomas Falconer and Evan Mooney joining Luke Kenny, Callum Penman and Fraser Taylor on the park. Another academy prospect, Carrick McEvoy, then entered on 78 minutes as a replacement for Scott Tanser. 

Saints would go on to see the game out in another worthwhile exercise for Stephen Robinson's men as the curtain closes on our trip to Spain.

Full-Time: St Mirren 2-1 MK Dons

St Mirren: Urminsky (Mullen 46), Fraser (Kenny 65), Kenny (Smyth 46), Iacovitti (Hutchison 65), Richardson (Penman 46), Phillips (Taylor 46), O'Hara (c) (Mooney 65), Tanser (McEvoy 78), McMenamin (Falconer 65), Ayunga (Mandron 46), Idowu (Scott 46)

Stephen Robinson Post-MK Dons

Marcus Fraser Post-MK Dons

Last season was a difficult one for Conor McMenamin. A knee injury that wouldn't heal required surgery in London that would keep him out for three months.

A short return was then curtailed by an achilles injury that would rule the Northern Ireland international out for longer. He made his return in April and showed what he's capable of, contributing two goals and an assist in three appearances before the end of the 2024/25 season.

He's worked hard to get back fit and reflected on that tough period as well as looking forward during a tough week of pre-season in Spain. 

A busy week in Spain draws to a close with Saints' final training session taking place at the Pinatar Arena today. 

The Buddies have been working hard in the heat of Murcia with temperatures reaching the high 30s throughout the week. As well as a number of training sessions, Stephen Robinson's men also got some match action in their legs, drawing 1-1 against a strong Hearts side at La Finca on Wednesday night. 

Our week in Spain ends with a pre-season friendly against English League One side MK Dons at Pinatar on Saturday morning. Tickets for that match are priced at €10 for general admission and €5 for U10s.

Always Pushing

We overcame the odds once again in season 2024/25 to secure our place in the top six for a third consecutive season and became the only club outwith Celtic and Rangers to do so over the past three years.

We witnessed sell-out crowds at The SMiSA Stadium in August as we embarked on our first European adventure since 1987. Welcoming Icelandic side Valur FC and Norwegian outfit SK Brann, those were nights that will live long in the memory.

Wins at home against Hibernian and Hearts were followed up by becoming the first team to beat Aberdeen in the league in season 2024/25, before back-to-back victories against Rangers for the first time since 1980.

The club’s continued progress on and off the park would not have been possible without your brilliant, unwavering support and we are truly grateful for your continued loyalty.

The Future Generation

Since retaining our Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand for all matches, we’ve been encouraged by the number of young supporters coming along to games at The SMiSA Stadium.

We are committed to continuing the growth of that demographic and our season ticket prices are reflective of that.

Prices for our Junior category (12–17-year-olds) start from just £6.05 per match, while the cheapest U12 prices work out at just £1.58 per match.

Season Ticket Prices

Increased matchday costs as well as rises in National Insurance and living wage for staff mean we have to be realistic and this is reflected in 2025/26 season ticket prices.

We have tried to limit these rises and ensure that St Mirren season tickets prices remain as one of the lowest in the Premiership. Adult prices start from less than £19 per match and concessions starting at only £8.42 if bought during the loyalty/early bird period.

To continue competing in the Premiership and pushing for top six, it’s vital that the club does all it can to maximise income. As a fan-owned club, it’s becoming increasingly harder to challenge at the top end of the Premiership, but the collective drive of all our supporters and our people helps us bridge that gap and become greater than the sum of our parts.

St Mirren drew 1-1 against a strong Hearts side in a closed-door training match at La Finca this evening.

Stephen Robinson’s men took an early lead when Evan Mooney opened the scoring on 13 minutes. Good pressing from Carrick McEvoy saw the Youth Academy graduate steal the ball from Beni Baningime in the middle of the park. Conor McMenamin raced on to it and fed it to Mikael Mandron who perfectly weighted pass found Mooney scuttling down the left. The 17-year-old cut in from the side and slammed beyond Zander Clark from 16 yards.

Saints thought they had a second just before the water break when Conor McMenamin netted, but he was denied by the offside flag.

Conor McMenamin thought he'd scored Saints' second

Hearts levelled a little over 10 minutes after the restart from the water break with Baningime's strike from 20 yards taking a deflection off Alex Gogic before finding the net.

Only Gogic remained from the first-half line-up as the manager took the opportunity to rotate the team and change shape. The Cypriot would eventually be replaced by Saints youth prospect Billy Hutchison on 72 minutes. That substitution came after Mooney had to return to action when Roland Idowu was take off as a precaution, while Callum Penman almost put Saints ahead for a second time with a low effort deflected just wide of the left-hand post.

Declan John was denied a few minutes after a water break when his free-kick was brilliantly touched over the bar by Hearts goalkeeper Ryan Fulton. Saints stopper Peter Urminsky made a terrific save himself to deny Hearts’ Claudio Braga. The goalkeeper made himself big to pull off an important block after Musa Drammeh had put the forward clear on goal.

First-Half - St Mirren: Mullen, Gogic, Kenny, Iacovitti, Richardson, O’Hara (c), McEvoy, Falconer, McMenamin, Mandron, Mooney
