Stephen McGinn: Let's do it together

St Mirren took another huge step towards the Championship title this week, as they breezed past Dumbarton on Tuesday night to take them to within eights points of winning the league.

Jack Ross' side moved up to 66 points in the Scottish Championship on Tuesday, after putting five past the Sons at the Paisley 2021 Stadium, with goals from Cammy Smith, Danny Mullen, Gavin Reilly and a double from Lewis Morgan.

Captain Stephen McGinn spoke to Buddievision about the team's biggest win of the season and how they wanted to avoid a similar outcome from when the two teams last met in Paisley.

Back in December, Dumbarton beat Saints 1-0 and as a result have been the only team to defeat St Mirren in the league at home for over a year.

He said: "First and foremost we were really excited about the game, we love playing here, especially under the lights. We fancy ourselves against anyone here under the lights, so we were really looking forward to the game and I think it showed in the performance.

"It was one that has bugged us, it's really bugged us. That day we were miles off it as a team and really frustrated. Aside from that really poor performance, looking back we were undefeated (at home). So it was a sore one for us and one we were looking to rectify to make sure it didn't happen again tonight.

"We were after them right from the start. We appreciate that they had the cup final and the last minute heartbreak; we never had a game, we were the fresh team coming into it and we wanted to really get after them from the start. I think we did and really set the tone for the rest of the night."

St Mirren have now won eight of their last nine games in the league, but just getting over the line isn't good enough for the Saints skipper.

He believes this stage of the season is where the best teams show their worth. 

He continued: "I tend to disagree, I think sometimes when you see the real good teams coming into the home stretch, that's when they start to flex. I mean, last year some of our best performances were at this stage of the season.

"I think we've ground out the tough months, the three months over the winter period is really tough and there were some hard fought wins. Now we're looking to show why we're top of the league and why we think we're the best team in this division."      

As the team's chances of grasping the league title get closer and closer McGinn is reluctant for the team to let up in the run-in, and he knows this week's game away to Inverness will be a a stiff challenge for the team. 

He added: "You wouldn't be human if you didn't start to look at it and think about when and where you can win it. We go up to Inverness and we're thankful to be in the position we are, to go into such a tough game that we actually have got that lead, because I think it's the toughest and trickiest venue in the league.

"I don't know how they're still in the position they are in Inverness, when you see with result they got tonight. In my opinion it's the hardest game, so we'll go up there to go and win again, but we know it's going to be a really tough afternoon."

 McGinn also had a special message for the fans as the team close in on their target. Due to three away games in a row, the next time the side play at the Paisley 2021 Stadium they could be champions.

He said: "I can't speak highly enough of the fans. It wasn't easy tonight, because you start to look in the distance and we have three away games that people will be wanting to go to and the turnout tonight with Scotland playing at the same time is really, really good.

"I heard the announcement of the crowd tonight - just under 4000 - that's phenomenal in this league. I thank them again and ask them for one last push. Let's do it together.

"It would be a lot nicer than having to come here and still not be champions. I hope that's the case, but we have three really tough away games coming up - would much prefer them to be three home games with our form here - but as I said, when ever we can do it and as soon as we can do it. I will take that all day."

Commercial Manager, Campbell Kennedy welcomed Ronnie & Hazel McGinlay from Walker Laird to the Paisley 2021 Stadium this afternoon.

Walker Laird are once again the Principal sponsor of the club's SOLD OUT 2017/18 Player of the Year Dinner .

Reaction: Jack Ross Post Dumbarton

Jack Ross gives his thoughts on tonight's emphatic 5-0 win over Dumbarton in the Ladbrokes Championship.

A double from Lewis Morgan alongside goals from Cammy Smith, Danny Mullen and Gavin Reilly saw Saints go 14 points clear at the top of the table.

Match Report: St Mirren 5-0 Dumbarton

St Mirren cruised to victory over Dumbarton to take a step closer to a return to the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Lewis Morgan's 15th goal of the season, along with Cammy Smith's 32nd minute strike had Saints on easy street heading into the break. 

Danny Mullen then added his first home goal after the break, before substitute Gavin Reilly made it goal number 22 for the season. Lewis Morgan put the seal on a brilliant win with a stunning strike on 86 minutes. 

Saints were right up for it from the off with Cammy Smith going close on three minutes when he cut in from the left, but his shot was blocked by ex-St Mirren goalkeeper Scott Gallacher. 

The Buddies were awarded a free kick in a good position on the edge of the penalty box when Stephen McGinn was fouled by Liam Dick. Morgan, who scored from a similar position against Queen of the South last weekend, stepped up to take but sent it over the bar. 

But just seven minutes later the winger was on the scoresheet with a lovely curling finish to put St Mirren one-nil in front. Ryan Flynn did brilliantly to steal the ball from Craig Barr before sending it into Cammy Smith's path. Smith spotted Morgan who had peeled away on the left with the 21 year-old having the time to pick his spot to send beyond Gallacher. 

Cammy went close on 23 minutes only for his shot to be blocked, while Kyle Magennis almost scored in fortuitous fashion when his corner kick flew over everyone and had to be headed off the line by Barr. 

St Mirren's persistence paid off on 32 minutes when Cammy Smith bundled home following a goal-line scramble to make it 2-0. 

While Saints were cruising, the visitors almost pulled a goal back a minute after our second with Craig Samson making a world class save to deny Kevin Nesbit and continue his home clean sheet record.  

Jack Ross' men were rampant and continued to plug away in search of a third goal before the interval. Stephen McGinn drilled an effort just past the post before Ryan Flynn slid in at the back post sending over Morgan's ball across the box.

Half Time: St Mirren 2-0 Dumbarton

While Saints couldn't get a third in the first half, it didn't take them long after the interval to find it. Danny Mullen was on the end of a neat move and finished nicely beyond Gallacher to score his first goal at The Paisley 2021 Stadium. 

The Buddies were so in control and the match had shades of the 5-0 win over Raith Rovers towards the end of last season. Mullen was so unlucky not to grab a second when his header from a corner was deflected behind. 

Substitute Gavin Reilly got the much deserved fourth for St Mirren on 71 minutes. The striker's initial shot was blocked by Gallacher, but he showed his instincts to follow in the rebound to score his 22nd goal of the season.

The best was yet to come, but come it did on 86 minutes when Lewis Morgan scored his second of the night. It was an absolute screamer from the winger who drove forward and unleashed an unstoppable strike into the top corner to put the seal on a brilliant night for the Buddies.

Travel Update: Dundee Utd v St Mirren

Match Preview: St Mirren v Dumbarton

St Mirren are back in action at the Paisley 2021 Stadium tonight as we host IRN-BRU Cup finalists Dumbarton in the Ladbrokes Championship.

It'll be the fourth and final meeting between the two sides this campaign with Saints winning both away matches by a 2-0 scoreline, while Dumbarton shocked the Buddies 1-0 at the Paisley 2021 Stadium in December. Indeed, Dumbarton are the only team to have won in the league in Paisley since January 2017. 

The Buddies weren't in action this weekend after call-ups to Lewis Morgan, Liam Smith and Kyle Magennis saw the scheduled match against Falkirk postponed until April. Tonight's match will be just the third game St Mirren have played this month, compared to seven in March last year. 

Jack Ross' men come into the match in good spirits on the back of a three match winning running. After defeat to Livingston last month, the Buddies have gone on to defeat Brechin (1-0), Dunfermline (2-0) and Queen of the South (3-1). The most recent of which, away to Queen of the South, saw Saints comfortably gather all three points with Danny Mullen - scoring his first for St Mirren - Lewis Morgan and Kyle Magennis on the scoresheet. 

Meanwhile, Dumbarton come into tomorrow's match following a cruel IRN-BRU Cup final loss. The part-time side had pushed Caley Thistle all the way and even survived a late scare when ex-Saint, Scott Gallacher saved Iain Vigurs' 82nd minute penalty. But deep into stoppage time, Carl Tremarco ghosted in at the back post to tap home Daniel McKay's cross to win the cup for Inverness.

The Sons are in decent league form with two wins and a draw in their last four matches. They drew 0-0 away to Falkirk in February before being edged out 1-0 by Queen of the South at home. Their two wins have come home and away to bottom side Brechin with Steven Aitken's men winning 1-0 at home thanks to a Dimitris Froxylias effort. They followed up that win with a 3-1 triumph at Glebe Park thanks to goals from Calum Gallagher and Danny Handling plus an own goal.

While Saints have beaten Dumbarton twice this season, both of those wins have come away from home. The Buddies haven't beaten Dumbarton in Paisley since February 2016 when Lawrence Shankland scored the game's only goal to give St Mirren a 1-0 win over the Sons. The visitors are unbeaten in their last three visits to the Paisley 2021 Stadium.

There are a number of familiar faces in the Dumbarton squad with Scott Gallacher, Kyle Hutton, Stuart Carswell, Tom Walsh and Calum Gallagher all having plied their trade at Saints within the last three years.

Jack Ross confirmed that he has a fully fit squad to chose from tonight as Harry Davis returns for Saints after missing the 3-1 win away to Queen of the South. Adam Eckersley will also be available for selection after suffering a dead leg in the same match. 

St Mirren need 11 points from their remaining eight matches to clinch the Ladbrokes Championship title and a return to the Premiership. A win tonight would see that total drop to eight points with seven to play. Dumbarton will be looking to close the gap on eighth place Inverness as they look to climb away from the relegation play-off spot. If results go the Sons' way tonight they'd move to within a point of Caley Thistle in the battle for survival.
