The club are in the process of removing plaques which currently feature on the back of some seats around the Paisley 2021 Stadium. These plaques were originally put in place in 2013 intended for that season alone and now, with time, some have began to wear down. 

As such it is the club's intention to remove all of these and any supporters who wish to keep their plaques after they have been removed can do so by visiting reception where we will hold them until the end of this month. 

Stephen Mallan believes that Saints have to kick on and use the momentum following last night's 3-2 win over Queen of the South at Palmerston Park as they look to start climbing up the Ladbrokes Championship.

The midfielder scored a 93rd minute winner to spark scenes of jubilation in the away end as the Saints got their long awaited first league win of the season on the board. 

Speaking to stmirren.com about the moment he put the Buddies 3-2 ahead in the dying moments of the match, he said: "The first thing that came to my head was just to shoot.

I never had many chances during the game to get a good shot on goal. The manager and the boys kept telling me to shoot because of the ability I have. I just wanted to hit the target and thankfully it went into the bottom corner and it was just brilliant. Hopefully we can kick on now and take it in to the next game.

When we got that equaliser I thought with the way we were playing that we could get that win and thankfully with the last kick of the ball I got that goal. It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been waiting on a goal in the league for a long time now, trying to live up to the hype from last season and it’s one of the most important with the way it came about. It was the best feeling in the world."

While Mallan was clearly delighted to score the winner and he also took the time to praise the fans and said that it meant so much to give back to those who turn out week-in, week-out to support the team.

It’s something you want to do as a player," he said. "You want to give the fans a reward for all the travelling they do and all the money they spend on the club. It’s good to give them something to take home and celebrate and it’s something I’ll never forget."

The second half was a lively affair, with both teams having opportunities to win. Scott Gallacher and his Queens counterpart Lee Robinson were forced into tremendous saves from Stephen Dobbie and Gary MacKenzie respectively as both looked to grab a winner.

It could have gone either way," Mallan continued. "I think at the end Queens were just trying to sit in and maybe get a point, but the way things are for St Mirren you have to try to play in a different gear. No matter if it’s 2-2 or we’re 2-1 down we have to keep going and the boys showed the dig that we’ve got.

"We came in at half-time 2-1 down and gave away two poor goals and got a bit of a rollocking off the manager and rightly so.

"I think in the second half we showed what we can do. We played to the last kick of the ball and today was one of the days that it paid off and we have to take that into the league even more."

While the 20 year-old realises the significance of the win, he reiterated that the team has to build upon this result as they look to haul themselves from the foot of the table.

It’s massive," he said. "We were the only club in the UK without a win which is a poor stat to have. But thankfully we’ve got that win. I’d say over the last month or two there has been a lot of luck against us but it was on our side and we need to keep that momentum up.

"We can’t rest on our laurels, it’s just one win.

"We are six points off second bottom so we need to keep going and keep pushing. We’re just looking to get as many wins as possible to start climbing up the league because we’re in a position that we shouldn’t be with the squad we’ve got. We can keep saying that and we say it every week but it’s up to us to do something about it."

A delighted Jack Ross gives his thoughts on the 3-2 win over Queen of the South as Saints pick up their first win in the Ladbrokes Championship this season.

St Mirren picked up their first win of the season in the Ladbrokes Championship after a dramatic end to a pulsating 90 minutes at Palmerston Park. Jack Ross' side were well worthy of the three points with a fine attacking display which saw them deservedly get their first three points of the season. 

Saints started the game brightly with half chances for Lewis Morgan and Jason Naismith in the early stages. Firstly, Morgan was played in down the right as he latched on to a Stephen Mallan pass. The winger sped past Darren Brownlie but took the shot early from outside the area and sent it wide. 

Mallan was involved again when his effort was deflected out for a corner kick. Kyle McAllister took the corner, but after the first attempt was cleared it was flung into the back post where Naismith, making his 100th Saints appearance, took the ball on his left foot and put it over the bar.

Derek Lyle should have put the Doonhamers ahead after Scott Gallacher spilled a shot straight into the striker's path but he somehow knocked the ball by the post. The home side weren't made to wait for the opener though as Stephen Dobbie put them ahead a minute later. Grant Anderson got in behind Gary Irvine and laid the ball into the path of Dobbie who rolled the ball into the net. 

Saints reaction was exactly what Jack Ross would have been after as Saints were level a little over two minutes later when Kyle Magennis got his first goal for the Saints. The 18 year-old picked up the ball around 25 yards out and powered the ball into the back of the net. It was a sensational effort from the midfielder whose thundering effort left Lee Robinson with absolutely no chance. 

The Buddies could've been ahead on 34 minutes through John Sutton. Mallan launched the ball into the Queens box on to the head of Naismith who nodded the ball into the feet of the big striker. However, as he turned to shoot the passage to goal was blocked by one of the Queens defenders and ended up safely in the arms of the goalkeeper.

The visitors were doing well without creating too many clear cut chances but found themselves behind just before half time. The ball was given away in the middle of the park and Lyle played the ball into the path of Dobbie who guided the ball beyond Gallacher to get his second of the game. 

Half Time: Queen of the South 2-1 St Mirren

The second half got off to a scrappy start but Saints got themselves back on level terms for the second time. Naismith was clipped as he ran down the right side and St Mirren had a free kick deep in the Queens half.

Mallan stepped in to take it and floated the ball into the box where it met the head of Gary MacKenzie. The defender headed into the path of his defensive partner Ben Gordon who swung a leg at it and watched as it deflected beyond Robinson.

Saints grew more confident but only after Jake Pickard wasted a huge chance for the Doonhamers. Dobbie bounded down the right and found Pickard in plenty of space but the youngster scooped the ball over.

MacKenzie almost joined his defensive partner on the scoresheet as he smashed the ball from the outside the box. It looked to be firing in to the corner of the net but Robinson made a fantastic save to deny the big defender his first Saints goal. From the corner, Morgan had a shot which ended up nestling into the arms of the keeper. 

The game went back and forth with goalscorer Gordon doing brilliantly to deny Lyle what would have been a tap in as he cleared the cross ball. It was then The Buddies chance to go close as a looping Magennis header forced Robinson to tip over the bar. As the game continued to ebb and flow it was Queens who went close to going in front again as Dobbie was sniffing out a hat-trick. The striker burst into the box and it took a wonderful save from Gallacher to deny him the match ball. 

Saints looked the more dominant and the manager made positive substitutions as the game was being stretched with Ryan Hardie and Calum Gallagher coming on for Rocco Quinn and Kyle McAllister. 

With time ticking away it looked like the Buddies would have to settle for a point. But in the dying embers they won a corner. Initially it was cleared but only as far as Morgan who laid the ball off for Mallan who took a touch before firing it into the back of the net. The travelling Saints supporters were delirious as they ran to the trackside to celebrate with the players. It was no more than the team, or the supporters, deserved as St Mirren now look to climb up the Ladbrokes Championship.

St Mirren make the journey down to Palmerston Park tomorrow night as they face Queen of the South in a rearranged Ladbrokes Championship fixture. The original match, scheduled for 12th November, was postponed due to both teams involvement in the IRN-BRU Cup quarter finals. 

Saints come into tomorrow's game on the back of a 3-1 loss to Falkirk at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday. The Buddies took the lead early on in the game when Lewis Morgan rocketed home a shot from a John Sutton knock down. The away side looked comfortable before defender Jack Baird was sent off before half time following an altercation with Falkirk's Lee Miller.

It was Miller who got the home side level just after the break before goals from Bob McHugh and Myles Hippolyte sealed the win for the Bairns. It was a frustrating result for Saints but the team performed well throughout and on another day it could've been so different.

Queen of the South will be looking for their first league win since a 3-1 home victory over Raith Rovers in September. The Doonhamers started the season off in great form but since that win, which put them top of the league, they have only drawn two of their following eight league matches. Most recently they lost 2-1 to Dumbarton in the Ladbrokes Championship on Saturday. Derek Lyle scored an 80th minute goal for Queens to pull them back into the game, but it wasn't enough to steal a late draw.

The two teams have met once this season with Queen of the South leaving Paisley with all three points as they saw St Mirren off with a 3-1 win. Experienced striker Lyle put Queens ahead before loanee Tom Walsh grabbed an equaliser with a spectacular effort. Lyle scored against just before half time before a second half goal from Stephen Dobbie clinched victory for the away side. 

Saints had a better record against the Dumfries side last season winning three of the four meetings between the two clubs. The Buddies picked up their first league win of the 2015/16 season at Palmerston as goals from Sean Kelly and Steven Thompson sealed a 2-0 win at the start of September 2015.

The next meeting didn't take place until February 2016 with a Stevie Mallan free kick enough to give Saints the win. Just a week later the two teams met again in league action at Palmerston with the home side picking up a 1-0 win that time. The final clash came in March at the Paisley 2021 Stadium where Mallan was on the scoresheet once again to open the scoring before a Callum Tapping own goal secured a big three points for the Saints.

Queens will be looking for the clichéd new manager bounce as Gary Naysmith takes charge of the Doonhamers for the first time. The ex-Scotland International has become the club's new permanent manager, joining from East Fife, and officially begins his duties just in time for tomorrow's match. 

For Saints, they know it's important to start putting points on the board with ninth place Dunfermline sitting nine points above the Saints. Improved performances under Jack Ross haven't yet translated to points and the manager will be keen to get these two married together as quickly as possible.

On Friday night SMiSA hosted an Evening with the Millennium Champions at the Paisley 2021 Stadium. 

Then St Mirren manager Tom Hendrie was joined by Matt Kerr and the title winning captain Tommy Turner along with Hugh Murray, Scott Walker, Ludovic Roy, Junior Mendes, Iain Nicholson and Tom Brown as they took part in a Q&A with supporters and watched highlights from that famous season.
