It was a night of frustration for St Mirren as we fell to a narrow 1-0 loss away to St Johnstone. 

The Buddies missed an early penalty and gave away a soft first-half goal before being reduced to 10 men as the home side took all three points.

The visitors started brightly though goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky was forced into an early terrific save to push over Chris Kane's volley from the edge of the box.

Jason Kerr nudged Brad Lyons as the Northern Irishman burst into the box. Simeon Jackson was the man to take but his attempted chip didn't have enough on it and was blocked by the legs of returning St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark.

St Mirren's frustration with the missed penalty would only grow as St Johnstone took the lead five minutes later. The Buddies were the architects of their own downfall with Mateo Muzek attempted header back to Hladky too short allowing Chris Kane to nip in and slot past the goalkeeper. 

It seemed to knock the stuffing out of the visitors until late in the first half where twice half chances were created. Cammy MacPherson picked out Simeon Jackson in the box with a nice ball in, but the striker was quickly crowded out by the St Johnstone defence. 

Then, just before half-time, Jackson had a curling effort deflected into the arms of Clark in what was a fairly routine save for the St Johnstone goalkeeper.

The travelling Saints fans were making incredible noise as they tried to rally the team at the start of the second half and Oran Kearney's men were having the better of the match after the interval. 

Duckens Nazon replaced Ryan Flynn on 55 minutes and the Haitian striker looked bright as St Mirren chased an equaliser. 

With an hour on the clock Kyle McAllister saw an shot from the edge of the area take a nick off a St Johnstone defender and fly past the right hand post. From the resultant corner Paul McGinn headed wide.

St Johnstone had a big chance to kill the game with 15 minutes to go when a terrific through ball from Ross Callachan found Murray Davidson in acres of space inside the box. But the midfielder's touch was too heavy and cleared by the Buddies for a corner. Cammy MacPherson was in the right place at the right time as he managed to clear the ball off the line after Liam Craig's corner was knocked goalward. 

The Buddies broke forward and had a penalty appeal turned down when Simeon Jackson went down under the challenge of Joe Shaughnessy. Referee Steven McLean said no and Saints had to settle for a corner. Substitute Anders Dreyer sent the ball in and it was pinball inside the box before Nazon managed to find Mihai Popescu on the edge of the area. But the Romanian defender was leaning back as he smashed over.

With only a few minutes remaining, St Mirren were reduced to 10 men when Ethan Erhahon was given his marching order for a late tackle. It compounded what was a frustrating night of the Paisley Saints who face 11th place Dundee on Saturday at the Simple Digital Arena. 

Full Time: St Johnstone 1-0 St Mirren

Oran Kearney gives his thoughts on a frustrating night for the Buddies.

It’s the battle of the Saints tonight as St Mirren make the trip to Perth to face St Johnstone on matchday 30 of the Ladbrokes Premiership.

The Buddies were due to play St Johnstone on Saturday 16th March, but unplayable conditions saw the match postponed.

FORM

The Paisley Saints go into tonight's match undefeated in our last two away matches.

A 2-2 draw with Aberdeen last month was followed up by a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle. Since those away matches there has been a 1-0 win over Livingston and a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock at the Simple Digital Arena.

St Johnstone, meanwhile, have only picked up a solitary point in their last seven Premiership matches. That came in a 0-0 draw with Rangers at Ibrox in February.

Since their last win - a 1-0 triumph over Livingston in January - the Perth Saints have lost to Livingston, Hibernian, Aberdeen, Hamilton Academical, Celtic (twice) and Hearts in the league.

They come into tonight's match having lost 3-1 to Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena over two weeks ago.

PREVIOUS

This will be the third meeting of the sides this season.

Our first visit to Perth this season saw the home side win 2-0 thanks to second half goals from David Wotherspoon and Matty Kennedy back in October.

St Johnstone visited Paisley on Boxing Day and left with all the points after an 89th minute goal from Tony Watt gave them a 1-0 win.

Indeed, St Johnstone have won the last four meetings between the two sides with the Buddies last victory over St Johnstone coming at McDiarmid Park in October 2014 when goals from Jason Naismith and Adam Drury gave us a 2-1 win.

WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN

A win would see the Buddies move into 11th place, two points clear of Dundee who we face at the Simple Digital Arena on Saturday.

Even a draw for Saints would see us move into 11th ahead of Dundee on goal difference.

St Johnstone are looking for three points to keep their top six hopes alive.

The Perth side are currently ninth in the table - seven points behind sixth place Hibernian with four games to go until the split.

TEAM NEWS

The manager told press yesterday the squad is still as is which means Kyle Magennis and Lee Hodson are still out.

Stephen McGinn is getting closer, but the gaffer expects this week will come too soon for the skipper.

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright says Niall Keown, Drey Wright, Callum Hendry and Blair Alston will miss tonight's game and David Wotherspoon is a doubt with an ankle knock. 

Zander Clark will return in goal for the hosts having missed their last four matches due to a hamstring problem.
