Tonight, Tuesday 10th April, St Mirren head to the City of Discovery to face Dundee United in a Ladbrokes Championship match-up at Tannadice Park with a chance to win the Ladbrokes Championship title.

The referee tonight is Andrew Dallas and he will be assisted by Paul O'Neill and Ross Macleod.

Please note there are road closures near Tannadice and the advice is to avoid Clepington Road.

St Mirren moved to within one point of securing promotion back to the top flight of Scottish football on Saturday, after defeating Brechin City 1-0 at a packed out Glebe Park.

A goal on the seventh minute from Kyle Magennis in front of 2000+ Saints fans was enough to see the Paisley side take all three points in Angus.

The league could have been won on Saturday afternoon for The Saints, but they had to rely on result elsewhere to have done so.

Speaking to Buddievision, Magennis told us how the team were feeling after the win and how they all were dealing with the occasion of potentially winning the league. 

Magennis said: "We're almost there. The gaffer told us before the game that we just need to come here and do what we can do. We didn't worry about any other results and we've came and got the three points and hopefully we can get a point or a win on Tuesday and that will be it.

"Obviously some of the boys are a bit disappointed because it's not over, but I think we should all be happy. Hopefully it's just a matter of time."

This was the fourth and final time St Mirren played Brechin this season, winning all four games.

Despite winning every game against The City, each game has been a close encounter, with The Buddies prevailing with a one goal victory in each match.

The last two matches have ended 1-0 thanks to goals from academy graduate Magennis. The first two were 2-1 victories after a goal in each game from Cammy Smith accompanied by strikes from Dale Hilson and Gavin Reilly respectively. 

Magennis continued: "We always struggle against Brechin, they're well organised and they make it difficult for us. Especially on this pitch because it's narrow and it's hard to play for us, the way we play, so it was a tough game.

"I'm very surprised they haven't managed to pick up more points at home than what they have, because every time we have came here it has been very difficult."

Had Livingston failed to beat Morton on Saturday St Mirren would have clinched the title there and then, but a late winner from Alan Lithgow meant the West Lothian side prevented Magennis' goal from being the title decider. Something that the youngster would love to do on Tuesday night, as the team now have it in their own hands to finish the job against Dundee United at Tannadice. 

"Hopefully I can get another goal on Tuesday. I thought I was going to be the league winner today, but obviously not quite. So I'll try again on Tuesday and hopefully I can do it.

"Obviously I'm still only 19 and to potentially win my first league at 19 years old would be absolutely brilliant and it would be something I would remember for a long time.

"Last year there was so much pressure on us at the bottom of the league, so it's totally different to be challenging for the title. It's been mental.

"The fans have been brilliant all year. They thought it was going to be the day today, so there was a lot more of them. They were hoping for a party and we were hoping for a party, so let's make it Tuesday."

St Mirren U20s are back in action this afternoon as they take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

During the January transfer window a number of players moved out on loan to play regular football. Here's a look at how some of them got on last weekend. 

Josh Todd played the full 90 minutes for Queen of the South on Saturday as their play-off hopes were dashed with a 2-0 loss at home to Inverness.

Three St Mirren players featured as Stranraer kept their faint play-off hopes alive with a 1-0 win away to Alloa to move within six points of The Wasps with three matches remaining. Jordan Kirkpatrick and Ross Stewart played the full match for Alloa, while Cameron MacPherson was a late substitute for Stranraer.

Darren Whyte played the full 90 minutes for Forfar as The Loons took a massive step towards League One survival with a late 1-0 win away to Albion Rovers. Forfar are now six points clear of the relegation play-off spot with just three matches to go.

Robbie Leitch was an unused substitute as Queens Park remain bottom following a 3-2 loss against East Fife at Hampden.

In League Two, Conor O'Keefe was on the scoresheet for Annan Athletic as they dented Elgin City's play-off hopes with a 4-1 win at Galabank. O'Keefe's St Mirren U20s teammate Evan Horne also featured - playing the full 90 minutes for the Galabankies. Nathan Flanagan made his second start for Elgin after joining on emergency loan last week.

Jack Ross gives his reaction as Saints move to within a point of the Ladbrokes Championship title.

Kyle Magennis' first half goal saw The Buddies win 1-0 away to Brechin and need only one point from the remaining five matches to secure promotion and a return to the Ladbrokes Premiership.

St Mirren are just a point away from clinching the Ladbrokes Championship after a hard-fought win away to basement side Brechin City.

It had looked like it may have been Saints day with Livingston being held by Morton heading into the last 10 minutes. But a late Alan Lithgow goal for Livi delayed the celebrations, with Jack Ross now able to secure the title on Tuesday night when they head to Tannadice to face Dundee United.

The Buddies got off to a bright start threatening the hosts inside the first minute. Lewis Morgan gave Brechin's Graeme Smith something to think about with a long-range effort on five minutes but the goalkeeper gathered on the second attempt. 

It took Saints just seven minutes to make the breakthrough though with Kyle Magennis opening the scoring for the Buddies. The 19 year-old showed good pace and strength to break away from Callum Tapping to meet an Adam Eckersley throw-in. He took one touch with his left foot to move it on to his right before unleashing a powerful drive that flew past Graeme Smith into the far right corner.

Saints were doing there bit and were boosted by the news that Morton had taken the lead over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena. 

The game hit a bit of a lull with neither side managed to conjure up any real opportunities. That changed on 28 minutes when Brechin's Jordan Sinclair cracked the cross bar from distance.

The Buddies weren't far away from doubling their lead on three occasions before the interval. The first seeing Morgan curl a free kick just by the left post after he was fouled, before Harry Davis' header from a Magennis free kick was blocked by Smith. Finally, Davis was on the end of a corner but the crowded box denied Saints the opportunity to poke the ball into the net from the following stramash.

Half Time: Brechin City 0-1 St Mirren

Brechin took kick-off in the second half and looked to threaten early on with Sinclair having a shot blocked from the edge of the box and Finn Graham having a go from distance, though it was easily gathered by Samson.

Gary MacKenzie recovered well to make a good block to deny Isaac Layne the chance to go one-on-one with Samson on 56 minutes and from there Saints seemed to kick on as they created a number of chances in the minutes that followed. Danny Mullen's ball across the box met the sliding in Cammy Smith whose effort came off the side netting. A minute later Mullen was unlucky not to get his name on the scoresheet after beating Graeme Smith with a chip only for Euan Smith to clear off the line. Brechin keeper Graeme Smith then did well to save a shot from Morgan as Saints tried to wrap up the three points.

Morgan went close late on for Saints with an effort that went just by the post while Dylan Mackin saw a shot pushed away by Craig Samson up the other end.

With Livingston sealing a late win against Morton, it meant this afternoon wasn't the day Saints officially sealed the title and promotion back to the Ladbrokes Premiership. But things are in the Buddies' hands come Tuesday as they know that if they take anything against Dundee United at Tannadice, they will be crowned Champions.

St Mirren could be crowned Ladbrokes Championship winners tomorrow when they travel to Brechin City. 

The Buddies would win the title and be promoted to the Ladbrokes Premiership if they beat Brechin City and Livingston fail to take all three points from play-off chasing Morton. 

It's a mark of the incredible job Jack Ross has done at Saints since taking over in October 2016. 

However, beating Brechin tomorrow is no foregone conclusion despite the Angus side already having been relegated on top of failing to register a single league win this season. Saints have beaten City each time on the three occasions the two have faced off this season, but it's only been by a single goal each time. 

The first came in September at the Paisley 2021 Stadium when a 2-1 win for The Buddies saw them move to the top of the league. Cammy Smith opened the scoring early on only for ex-St Mirren U20s striker Kalvin Orsi to equalise before half-time. It was a frustrating afternoon for Saints who looked like they may have to settle for just a point. But with 12 minutes remaining, Dale Hilson forced the ball over the line to give St Mirren a 2-1 win.

It was the same scoreline when Jack Ross' side made their first trip to Brechin a few weeks before Christmas. Again, Saints took a first half lead - this time through Gavin Reilly - but were pegged back seven minutes later when Isaac Layne slotted home beyond Craig Samson. St Mirren would seal all three points though when Cammy Smith scored from the penalty spot on 64 minutes after being fouled by Graeme Smith. 

The last meeting between the two came in February when Kyle Magennis' 15th minute free kick was the difference. The Buddies had numerous chances throughout the first half to make it more comfortable, but failed to make any count and almost conceded when Liam Watt struck the post. 

Whether tomorrow will be the day for Saints or not there will be a large crowd following the team with more than 2000 Buddies travelling to Glebe Park. With the end in sight the Saints players will be desperate to put on a show, while Brechin will hope to upset the odds and claim their first win of the season. 

Once again we are giving St Mirren fans the chance to ‘live the dream’ while helping out the Youth Development Programme at the same time.
