Saints are on the road again tonight as they travel to Kirkcaldy to face Raith Rovers at Stark's Park. 

The Buddies will meet Rovers for the third time in the Ladbrokes Championship this season with each side sharing a win. 

The first meeting came on match day two with Saints paying the Kirkcaldy side a visit after an opening day draw with Morton. Declan McManus gave the home side the lead after just 17 minutes. Ross Callachan put Rovers 2-0 up before a defensive mix-up between Jamie Langfield and Andy Webster allowed McManus to grab his second of the match just a minute later. Ryan Hardie, now at Raith, scored a consolation goal for the Buddies just beyond the hour mark but the damage had been done. 

The two sides met for a second time in the league, this time at the Paisley 2021 Stadium, in December. Saints had just picked up their first league win of the season after beating Queen of the South just days before facing Rovers. And they made it back-to-back league wins when Lewis Morgan scored from a thunderous effort early in the second half to secure a 1-0 victory for Saints.

St Mirren's form has improved in recent weeks with the Buddies winning four matches in a row before Sunday's defeat to Celtic. Even in defeat Saints were praised by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers who described St Mirren as the best team his side had faced domestically this season.

That run of four wins, the first time the Buddies had done so since 2008, included league wins over Ayr United and Hibernian. Both were beaten 2-0 with John Sutton and Morgan netting in the win over Ayr, while full back Stelios Demetriou grabbed his first St Mirren goals as Saints triumphed over league leaders Hibernian in Paisley. 

Raith come into this match on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Ayr United at Somerset Park last week. Facing an injury crisis, midfielder Ryan Stevenson had to play in goals for John Hughes' outfit but Rovers have since agreed a deal to bring in Slovakian goalkeeper Pavol Penksa until the end of the season.

The Buddies still sit at the bottom of the Ladbrokes Championship but a win over Raith would bring them to within two points of Ayr United who sit in ninth place and three points off Rovers with a game in hand over the Kirkcaldy side. Meanwhile, our opponents will be desperate to push themselves away from the danger zone and get their first league win since October.

Harry Davis says that confidence is high at St Mirren despite the loss to Celtic in the Scottish Cup.

The defender believes that Saints can take heart from a first half display that saw the Buddies become the first team since Barcelona, in November, to take the lead at Celtic Park.

And the 25 year-old thinks the team should take that, along with recent good form, into Wednesday's match as the Buddies travel to Kirkcaldy to face Raith Rovers.

We've got a lot of confidence in the side from the past four wins that we got on the bounce.

"That breeds confidence and I think everyone can see we are really digging deep for one another and putting in some good displays, that can only help. The first half performance should breed confidence for Wednesday.

"It's a very big game," he said of the match against Raith. "It's all about recovery now and looking to Wednesday and hopefully we can get another win there. Confidence is high and we're really looking forward to the game."

While disappointed that Saints couldn't cause a cup upset, Davis believes playing at Celtic Park was a good test for the side. 

"It was a great experience, first of all. I've never been to this stadium so to play here was a great experience. I thought first half we did really well, stifled them. And then second half they started to open us up and they were clinical in their finishing. 

"It was a very good display from us, I'm just devastated that we couldn't see it through. We had this belief in the team that we could see the game through and we're disappointed not to be in the next round. But fair play to Celtic, they are a very good side and showed it.

It was Davis who gave St Mirren a shock 13th minute lead when he tapped home from a few yards out following John Sutton's knockdown after a well worked free kick.

It was the Englishman's second goal for the Buddies since joining the club on loan on transfer deadline day and he joked that he'll need to look at having a goal bonus added to his contract.

I was delighted to score," he said. "I'll have to see if I can get a goal bonus! But yeah delighted to score. It was a great header back from Sutts and it was a great feeling to score. 

And it could have been even better for Saints when Stevie Mallan's free kick deflected off Moussa Dembele and cannoned off the cross bar. It turned out to be a huge moment in the match with the hosts 2-1 ahead less than 10 minutes later.

It was a bit of a turning point to be fair," Davis confessed. "I think 2-0 puts a lot more pressure on Celtic and it was a big turning point.

"At the end of the day they've showed their quality in the second half, opened us up with very good quality upfront so there's no complaints really."

Saints almost doubled their advantage early in the second half when a Stevie Mallan free kick came off Moussa Dembele and cannoned off the underside of the cross bar. 

But Celtic started to find their rhythm with the help of substitutes Patrick Roberts and Leigh Griffiths. The Hoops scored twice in a minute to go ahead before goals from Dembele and Griffiths rounded off their victory.

 Jack Ross speaks to stmirren.com after Saints exit the William Hill Scottish Cup despite a good showing against Celtic at Celtic Park.

St Mirren exited the William Hill Scottish Cup at the quarter-final stage despite a valiant performance at Celtic Park.

The Buddies took the lead against Brendan Rodgers' treble chasers, the first team to do so at Celtic Park since Barcelona in November, and held it for 45 minutes before succumbing to two quick fire Celtic goals. 

The hosts took a firm grasp of the match after taking the lead and went on to score two more before the final whistle. 

Jack Ross had named the same starting eleven that defeated Hibernian on Wednesday night with two goal hero Stelios Demetriou keeping his place at left back and academy graduate, Stevie Mallan making his 100th Saints appearance. 

Saints started brightly and were ahead after just 12 minutes when loanee Harry Davis got his second goal for the club. The Buddies won a free kick deep in Celtic half. Mallan played the ball down the left channel to Cammy Smith, who had sneaked away from Gary Mackay-Steven and whipped in a brilliant ball onto the head of John Sutton. The big striker cushioned his header towards Davis who was unmarked 

It was a dream start for the Buddies and the first goal that had been scored against Celtic in domestic cup competition this season. 

Celtic had chances to level the match with Scott Brown firing a shot wide, Stuart Armstrong seeing a free kick deflect off the wall and Moussa Dembele having the best of the lot when he scuffed a chance wide after having the ball laid on a plate to him by Brown. 

But St Mirren were still in the lead and far from under the cosh. A great through ball from Stephen McGinn found Sutton who had broken the offside trap. He charged forward only to be tackled by Dedryck Boyata just as he was bearing down on goal.

Half Time: Celtic 0-1 St Mirren

The Buddies started the second half strongly, winning a corner after Kyle Magennis put pressure on Tierney.

Mallan whipped the ball in towards the heads of Gary MacKenzie and Davis before the ball came out to Sutton at the edge of the box. The striker lashed it goalward, only to see it come off Erik Sviatchenko and go out for another corner. 

Saints went agonisingly close to making doubling their lead moments later when a Mallan free kick deflected off Dembele and cannoned off the cross bar. The midfielder decided to go for goal from the angle with Celtic's French striker clipping the ball off the underside of the woodwork.

It looked like it was heading in but came back out to Davis who attempted to head back across goal but couldn't connect with it properly. 

It was a huge wake up call for Celtic and the Hoops were ahead six minutes later with two goals in a minute.

The first came after Stelios wiped out substitute Leigh Griffiths on the right hand touchline. A free kick was awarded and the Cypriot went into the book. Patrick Roberts, on as a half time substitution in place of Mackay-Steven, swung the corner into the box where it glanced off the head of Mikael Lustig beyond O'Brien to get Celtic back on level terms.

And a minute later Celtic were ahead through Scott Sinclair. The ball was sprayed out to the right by Griffiths to find Sinclair who broke into the box and curled the ball high into the top corner of the net to turn the match in the Hoops favour.

The Hoops took control of the match and extended their lead on 67 minutes when Dembele stroked home from just a few yards out to kill off Saints hopes of causing a cup upset. Sinclair stole the ball in St Mirren's half and sped forward before sending the ball to Roberts. Roberts then played a neat reverse ball to the winger who continued his run into the box and sent the ball across the face of goal to Dembele who knocked the ball into the net. 

Saints weren't out of the match completely though and could've cut the deficit to one when Lewis Morgan went close, sending an effort from the edge of the box just beyond the far post.

It just wasn't to be St Mirren's day though with Leigh Griffiths completing the scoring with just over 10 minutes remaining. The striker picked the ball up around 25 yards from goal and lashed a low shot beyond O'Brien. 

In the end Celtic's quality showed but for Jack Ross and the team they can be proud of their efforts at
