A massive thank you to the teams the St Mirren FC Community Trust had walking over the three distances at 2019 Kilt Walk.

An incredible group of people have shown amazing support for St Mirren FC Community Trust by participating in programs, volunteering and their efforts in fund raising.

For some of these people taking part in the Kilt Walk was a huge physical challenge and they each gave it their all and have the blisters and swollen joints to prove it!

The event was so well organised and there was an amazing atmosphere between all the walkers, the camaraderie and banter were top notch and kept all involved going.

The St Mirren FC Community Trust still has six weeks to collect more funds and take them closer to their target and would appreciate all your help in achieving this.

To donate please click on the link here or email communitytrust@stmirren.com. 

Our final home league match of the season will take place this Monday 13th May when we play host to Hamilton Academical.

If you would like the name of someone who has passed away this season to be included on the big screen during the applause or on the website then please email scoreboard@stmirren.com by Sunday 12th May.

A recent bucket collection at the Simple Digital Arena helped raise £852.92 for Renfrewshire carers' Parents of Children with Disabilities Group. 

Supporters dug deep before the recent home match against St Johnstone, with generous home and away fans donating their change to support the group.

The money raised will go towards buses with tail-lifts for wheelchairs at their summer outings.

Manager Oran Kearney gives his thoughts on today's draw away to Motherwell as Kyle Magennis' late goal rescues a point for Saints.

A spectacular goal salvaged a stoppage time point for Saints for the second week running as they drew with Motherwell in dramatic circumstances.

This time it was Kyle Magennis who conjured up an equaliser, the young midfielder thundering a volley high into the net after Mihai Popescu's throw in had been flicked across goal with barely seconds remaining.

That cancelled out David Turnbull's opener as he'd fired Motherwell in front with less than 20 minutes to goal. Magennis' timely intervention was welcome, although results elsewhere meant it didn't make a huge difference to the relegation picture.

The midfielder once again started the game on the bench as he continues his comeback, Kyle McAllister taking over from the injured Anders Dreyer. Although Turnbull started for the hosts, there was no sign of fellow impressive youngster Jake Hastie.

Motherwell nearly made a dream start as they went close to scoring inside five minutes. Hladky did well to deny Allan Campbell but the ball bounced out to Gboly Ariybi who looked set to stroke it home, however Mateo Muzek was in the right place to hack the ball off the line. There was some less impressive goalkeeping at the other end as Mark Gillespie appeared to have gathered McAllister's free-kick only to nearly throw the ball into his own net.

Hladky helped James Scott's drive around the post as the Steelmen threatened again before McAllister had Saints' first real chance, curling an effort just wide from the edge of the box. Gillespie denied Jackson as the striker tried to flick the ball home at a corner but the flag was already up for offside before Liam Grimshaw fizzed a shot off the outside of the post from 25 yards. That was followed by Magennis replacing Ryan Flynn, who had been unable to shake off an injury he'd picked up a few minutes earlier.

The first half had been scrappy but Saints started brightly after the break, Magennis' fierce shot being blocked at the edge of the box, Danny Mullen then appealing furiously for a foul after something happened off the ball. The striker saw his shot kept out by Gillespie after he'd been set up by Jackson before slack play from Popescu let in Scott, however Hladky was able to clear the danger at the expense of a corner.

That moment seemed to spark Motherwell into life, Turnbull sending a long range shot over before his free-kick was headed off by Scott. The arrival of Duckens Nazon in place of Mullen gave Saints some fresh impetus but they weren't able to take advantage of it before they fell behind. Sub Elliot Frear's cross was knocked down by James Scott and Turnbull was given plenty of time to pick his spot as he rattled a shot past Hladky.

Saints tried to respond, Gillespie spilling McAllister's attempt to sneak a free-kick in at the near post eith no one in a black and white shirt in quite the right place to force it home. Stephen McGinn followed brother Paul into the book for a foul on Ariyibi but Turnbull's free-kick was straight at Hladky.

There had been little sign of a Buddies equaliser but a glorious chance arrived in stoppage time, Stephen McGinn picking out Cody Cooke but he volleyed tamely at Gillespie. As Saints pushed they almost got caught on the break, Frear finding himself through on goal but Hladky dealt with his shot easily.

And that seemed to be that – but Saints had one final chance when they won a throw in deep in the Motherwell half. Popescu launched it into the box and when it bounced off a head it fell perfectly for Magennis to thunder home, sparking wild scenes among the travelling support behind the goal. It means Saints are now four points behind Hamilton and while they can no longer finish bottom, they'll have to beat Accies in their next game to have any chance of avoiding the play-offs.
