Visitor Information

  • Electronic Ticketing System

    At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.

    The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:

    • On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
    • Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
    • Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
    • Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.

    The whole process will only take a few seconds.

    Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

  • Street Parking on Matchday

    The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.

    Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.

    Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.

    St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.

  • Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day

    We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

    Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

James Scott joins Ross County on season-long loan

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that James Scott has joined Ross County on a season-long loan.

The 24-year-old moves to the Staggies until the end of the season with Saints retaining the option to recall in January. 

The forward initially signed for Saints on loan from Exeter in January 2024 before penning a permanent deal in the summer. During his time at Saints, James has made 34 appearances, netting one goal and adding four assists. 

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "James is someone that I’ve known for a long time.

He has so much talent, but we’ve just not been able to get the best out of him and we feel like a new start for him will help him go and get his confidence back.

"I believe Ross County are getting a very talented player and a great kid as well."

We wish James the best of luck during his time at Ross County. 

Alex Iacovitti departs by mutual consent

St Mirren Football Club can announce that Alex Iacovitti has left the club by mutual consent.

The 27-year-old joined the club last summer on a two-year deal from Port Vale. Despite a frustrating season for the defender with injuries, he still managed to net three goals in 23 appearances for the Saints, including goals in our UEFA Conference League fixtures against Valur and SK Brann.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Alex was very unfortunate as he had numerous injuries last season which made his season really stop-start.

"We won’t forget his goal away to Brann and the joy that brought to so many people. But Alex’s at an age where he needs to play football and we didn’t want to stand in his way."

Everyone at St Mirren thanks Alex for his contributions during his time at the club and wish him all the best in his future. 

Alex Iacovitti scores against Brann

 

Up Next: St Mirren v Motherwell (9th Aug)

St Mirren are home this weekend as Stephen Robinson's men host Motherwell at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday.

It's our first William Hill Premiership home fixture of the new season and begins a run of three home matches on the bounce for the Buddies. 

Match Details

St Mirren v Motherwell
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 9th August 2025
Kick-off: 3pm 
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium

Tickets

Season tickets are valid for Saturday's match. Supporters without a season ticket can buy online at stmirren.com/matchtickets

Tickets for away supporters are on sale directly from Motherwell. 

Form

The Buddies came close to taking a point away to Celtic on the opening day of the season. 

Saints' resistance was finally broken on 87 minutes when Luke McCowan scored the only goal of the match to give Celtic a 1-0 victory at Celtic Park. That ended a run of 10 without defeat in competitive action for Stephen Robinson's side, but there were plenty of positives to take from Sunday's match heading into the rest of the season. 

Motherwell snatched a late point at home to Rangers on matchday one. After falling behind in the first-half, the Steelmen's persistence paid off as when Emmanuel Longelo netted in the 87th minute to grab a share of the spoils for Jens Berthel Askou's men. 

Danish manager Askou took over the Steelmen in the summer following the surprise departure of Michael Wimmer. Askou's style of play has impressed the 'Well support on their way to qualification from Group G in the Premier Sports Cup. 

The Steelmen were unbeaten against Saints in three matches last season. Despite holding a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Caolan Boyd-Munce and Killian Phillips, Motherwell managed to take a point when the teams last met in March thanks to a double from Callum Slattery. Tony Watt scored an injury-time winner for the Steelmen on their last visit to The SMiSA Stadium back in March. 

The Officials

The referee on Saturday is Ross Hardie with Greg Aitken on VAR duty. 

Keanu Baccus returns to Saints on permanent deal

St Mirren Football Club is thrilled to announce the return of Keanu Baccus who rejoins Saints on a deal until summer 2027 with an option of a further year subject to visa approval. 

The Australian international made 72 appearances and scored four goals for the Buddies between 2022-2024.

Keanu created St Mirren history when he became the first ever Saints player to feature at a FIFA World Cup, representing the Socceroos at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

An industrious midfielder, Keanu returns to Paisley after spending last season at English League One side Mansfield Town where he made 43 appearances and registered 11 goal contributions.

Speaking to stmirren.com after returning to the club, Keanu said: "I'm buzzing to be back. 

They were some of the best times of my life, on and off the pitch, especially on the pitch. 

"It was a year away but it felt like longer. Knowing the staff and everyone else makes it a little bit easier to settle in. It was definitely a no brainer and I can't wait to get started. 

"I probably call this a home away from home and it's nice to be wanted. I just want to find my form again, continue to grow and learn and help the club as best I can."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "We all know what Keanu brings.

"He’s been part of our success in the early years and we’re absolutely delighted to have a quality player of that stature back again. It really gives us strength in the middle of the pitch.

"He’s a great boy, full of enthusiasm and he’s a very good signing for us.

Keanu has worked with us before so he knows what we want from him and he knows the levels required. He brings a wealth of experience and loads of energy."

Late goal sees Saints denied point on opening day

St Mirren came agonisingly close to taking a point at Celtic Park, but a late goal from Luke McCowan saw the home side take the points on the opening day of the season. 

Celtic had most of the chances, but Saints defended resolutely and could have grabbed a share of the spoils if not for McCowan's 87th minute deflected strike.

The hosts didn't cause too much trouble in the opening stages despite seeing the majority of the ball. A tame header from Adam Idah was easy for Shamal George in the Saints net, while the striker sent another header over a few minutes later. 

Celtic should have taken the lead on 19 minutes when a quick free-kick from Hoops captain Callum McGregor sent Daizen Maeda racing clear on goal. The forward rounded George but couldn't find the target from the angle. A minute later, Celtic threatened again when a dangerous low cross from Alastair Johnston on the right had to be cut out by Jayden Richardson in what a terrific piece of defending by the Saints number two. 

The Buddies were certainly in the game and a searching ball over the top from Richard King found Killian Phillips in the Celtic area. The Irishman tried to bring it down to fashion the opportunity but was quickly crowded out by his fellow countryman Liam Scales who denied him the chance to get a shot away. 

Mark O'Hara tested Kasper Schmeichel a little after the half hour mark with a curling effort from 20 yards. The Saints skipper took aim for the top corner but saw the Danish goalkeeper at full-stretch to push away. The Hoops were inches away from grabbing the lead in the final moments of the first-half when George made a good save to touch Benjamin Nygren's shot onto the bar before Saints managed to clear.

Stephen Robinson made a change at the interval with the introduction of forward Jonah Ayunga in place of midfielder Fraser Taylor. The Saints striker had a decent chance on the counter 10 minutes after the restart, but his effort was easy for Schmeichel to gather. That came just a few minutes after George got a strong hand to a low shot from McGregor. 

The home side almost took the lead in freak circumstances just before the hour mark when a speculative effort from Reo Hatate deflected off Marcus Fraser and almost looped in over George. It came back off the post before striking the Saints goalkeeper and drifting out for a corner. 

Saints' resistance was broken when McGregor looked to have given the hosts the lead with around 20 minutes remaining. O'Hara couldn't get the ball clear and that saw McGregor find the ball before drilling into the net from the edge of the area. However, a VAR check disallowed the goal after the ball twice struck the Celtic captain's arm before the strike. Two minutes later, Idah rattled the post as the home side looked to up the intensity heading into the final part of the match. 

A triple substitution on 79 minutes saw Tunmise Sobowale, Oisin Smyth and Evan Mooney come on for Saints. And within two minutes of their introduction, the trio combined with Sobowale eventually finding Smyth unmarked in the Celtic box. The midfielder looked poised to put the Buddies ahead, only for his goalbound effort to be blocked by Johnston. 

17-year-old Evan Mooney

Celtic would nab a winner with just three minutes of normal time remaining. The ball was worked to McCowan who took a touch to steady himself before lashing into the bottom corner with the aid of a deflection off a Saints player. It was a bitter blow given how well Stephen Robinson's men had played, but the overall performance is sure to give the Buddies boss cause for optimism for the season ahead.
