Visitor Information

Saints return to action at The SMiSA Stadium as we host Hibernian in the cinch Premiership on Wednesday night. 

The Buddies weren't in action at the weekend due to Hibernian's participation in the Viaplay Cup semi-finals. Nick Montgomery's side were defeated 1-0 by 10 man Aberdeen at Hampden on Saturday. 

Despite not playing at the weekend, Stephen Robinson's side remain in third place in the cinch Premiership on 18 points - two points ahead of Kilmarnock. The Buddies were edged out when we faced league leaders Celtic at Celtic Park last Wednesday, losing 2-1. But Saints were victorious in our previous match at The SMiSA Stadium, defeating bottom side St Johnstone 4-0. 

The Hibees have won one, drawn four and lost one of their last six league matches and sit in eighth place with 11 points from 11 matches.

Previous 

The two sides have faced off against each other twice already this season.

An 89th minute header from Alex Greive saw Saints win 3-2 at Easter Road on the opening day of the season. Mark O'Hara and Toyosi Olusanya had us 2-0 in front before Adam LeFondre and Christian Doidge levelled the scores. New Zealand striker Greive popped up in the final minute of normal time to ensure the points came back to Paisley. 

Hibernian were victorious when the sides met in the Viaplay Cup quarter-final. Despite goals from Scott Tanser and Keanu Baccus, the Buddies were beaten 4-2 at Easter Road. 

Our last win against the Hibees at The SMiSA Stadium came at the beginning of last season when Keanu Baccus scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory.

The officials

The referee on Wednesday night is Steven McLean. He'll be assisted by Graham McNeillie and John McCrossan. The fourth official Duncan Williams. 

David Munro is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and Sean Carr is the Assistant VAR. 

Thierry Small and James Bolton visited Kilbarchan Primary School last week as part of our ongoing community schools programme.

The pair answered questions from pupils at all year groups before meeting the boys' & girls’ school football teams as well as handing out tickets to last weekend's 4-0 win over St Johnstone. 

Pupils were also treated to a day of coaching from our Street Stuff coaches and we are happy to say we received great feedback from some of the pupils.

Luis (P7): "Having St Mirren in school was amazing! They shared lots of good information about football with us. I really enjoyed the training session with the coach."

Jack (P7/6): "I liked working with the coach. He was really good fun and taught us lots of new skills. The skill drills were good, and I learned lots of new skills."

Tristen (P7/6): I loved meeting the players and I even got their autograph, and the coach taught me new skills. Thank you!"

Grace (P7): "The sessions were very well planned and were a great opportunity for us to learn new football skills.  We played mini games which were great fun! I was very inspired by the coach and the players. We were really lucky to meet the players!"

Bonnie (P4): "I really liked seeing the players and it was good for people who have never seen footballers before!  I liked playing football with the coach, the best part was when we were dribbling the ball to music! We even got to do the Macarena it the end - it was great fun!"

Marnie (P6): "Our class warmed up by playing musical statues with the coach, which was good fun. I tried to jump with the ball in between my feet and get it in the target, I managed it and was proud of myself!"

School engagement forms a key part of our newly launched club strategy.

This promotes our commitment to our local community whilst creating opportunities to engage new fans who may not have previously shown an interest in football, or who may have supported another team. We want to encourage a new generation of fans, to bring more young people into the stadium. By involving ourselves at a primary level, this gives us the best opportunity to introduce new fans who will come along with their parents.

James Bolton and Thierry Small got pictures with the Kilbarchan Primary School boys' and girls' football teams. The boys had just returned from a local tournament. 

St Mirren Football Club is happy to confirm that Peter Urminsky has signed a contract extension which keeps him at the club until summer 2026.

The six-foot-five Slovakian goalkeeper joined Saints in January 2020 and went on to have loan spells with Ayr United and Stenhousemuir before making his first-team debut in July 2022 against Cowdenbeath in the Viaplay Cup.

Peter made further starts against Airdrieonians and FC Edinburgh before starting his first cinch Premiership match against Rangers on the final day of the 2022/23 season. 

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "We're really pleased that Peter has extended his contract. 

"He is a good young goalkeeper who is continually improving while working with goalkeeping coach Jamie Langfield and the other goalkeepers. We're happy to have him commit until 2026."

Peter added: "I love it at St Mirren. I enjoy every single day working with the players, with the staff and it's always positive.

"I feel like I have developed well in my time at the club working with Jamie and others. It'll be four years in January since I joined the club and it's great to extend my deal."

St Mirren Football Club has today launched a new strategy as we aim to be the best community centred development football club in Scotland.

It was a fantastic performance, ultimately we didn't get the result we came here for."

The manager gave his reaction to our narrow defeat away to Celtic.

St Mirren were edged out at Celtic Park as a late goal from substitute Hyeongyu Oh gave the hosts the points despite a battling performance from Stephen Robinson's men.

Conor McMenamin's first goal for Saints gave us an early lead in the East End of Glasgow, but David Turnbull levelled for the Hoops 11 minutes later. The Celtic midfielder missed a penalty on the half-hour mark and it looked like the Buddies may have been taking a point back to Paisley thanks to an inspired goalkeeping performance from Zach Hemming. But with only seven minutes of normal time remaining, Oh popped up with a winner for Brendan Rodgers' side. 

The manager made three changes to the side that defeated St Johnstone 4-0 on Saturday. Ryan Strain returned from suspension in place of Ryan Flynn, Caolan Boyd-Munce came in for the injured Keanu Baccus and Toyosi Olusanya replaced Mikael Mandron.

The Buddies started brightly and shocked a packed Celtic Park when McMenamin netted his first St Mirren goal. The forward got his head on the end of a beautiful cross from Greg Kiltie who notched up another assist following on his goal and assist against St Johnstone on Saturday.

But Celtic equalised 11 minutes later when Turnbull scored on 18 minutes. The midfielder was teed up by O'Riley and, from the edge of the area, he curled into the top right corner to draw the league leaders level. 

Celtic were gifted an opportunity to take the lead just before the half hour mark when referee John Beaton awarded the Hoops a penalty for an Alex Gogic handball after a VAR check. Turnbull stepped up to take but crashed his effort off the post. Palma was first on to the rebound, but Zach Hemming got two strong hands to push away.  

The Saints goalkeeper made another big stop at the end of the half as he turned behind a sliced clearance from birthday boy Gogic as the sides went into the break level. 

Hemming was forced into action 10 minutes into the second-half when he knocked behind a James Forrest effort after patient build-up play from the hosts. 

The manager made two changes on 65 minutes as he looked to freshen things up. Goalscorer McMenamin and Olusanya were replaced by Alex Greive and Mikael Mandron.  But Celtic were still dominated possession and playing most of the match in Saints' half. Hemming was again forced into another good stop when he pushed away Hyunjun Yang's curling effort from the edge of the area with less than 20 minutes remaining. The Celtic substitute sent another effort just by the post from similar range five minutes later. 

Celtic eventually found a way through the Saints rearguard with substitute Hyeongyu Oh scoring with seven minutes of normal time remaining. The forward was slipped in by Odin Thiago Holm and finished with aplomb. 

The Buddies went right up the park in search of a leveller and had a good opportunity when the ball fell to Kiltie inside the box, but his effort was blocked. The ball was swung back in where it met the head of Mark O'Hara but it was gathered by Joe Hart. Despite Saints pressure in the final minutes, we couldn't fashion an opportunity for an equaliser as we left Celtic Park empty-handed.

St Mirren selected Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde as their strategic charity partner as St Mirren’s vision to place people and the local community at the centre of decision-making aligns with the ethos Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde also lives by.

St Mirren has the overall mission to be the best community centred development football club in Scotland and have announced a three-year strategic partnership with Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to widen the club's reach to local families and provide direct help to those in need of extra support. The new partnership between St Mirren and Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde has been further strengthened with the appointment of St Mirren Chief Operating Officer, Keith Lasley as the Home-Start Ambassador for the Renfrewshire area.

We are fan-owned through The St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMiSA). The move into fan ownership came in conjunction with charity and social enterprise Kibble who, in 2020, bought a 27 percent stake to become part-owners of the club. The club has already built a strong sense of community through school visits, ticket donations and regular charitable initiatives including the set-up of clothing drive last winter.

The St Mirren Charitable Foundation and Street Stuff have a profound impact on the wider community. The Foundation run over 20 programmes from 'Fit and Fed' to the Walking Football Club and each week sees over 500 people come along to join in with the various fun sports clubs and group sessions. The community reach is strengthened through Street Stuff, which will be celebrating 15 years of delivery in April 2024. Their diversionary approach has contributed to a sustained reduction in reported youth disorder and anti-social behaviour with activities including multi-sports, gaming (within our multipurpose youth buses), community litter picks, as well as the wide range of current topical educational inputs, all of which are delivered by community staff from St Mirren. 

The club wants to build on the momentum and use its power to offer even more tangible help, building on existing activities to create the greatest community impact possible.

St Mirren have previously worked with Home-Start who provide practical and emotional support to parents/carers with children until five-years-old. Families are recommended to Home-Start from Health Visitors and GPs as well as directly contacting the charity themselves. By establishing the existing relationship as an official strategic charity partnership, the two organisations can combine resources to provide immediate respite to real-life families.

Together, St Mirren and Home-Start will make a bigger difference than either organisation could working in silo.

Keith Lasley, Chief Operating Officer of St Mirren, said: "In the past year, Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde have supported over 200 families and St Mirren are committed to working side-by-side to deliver charitable projects that families can directly benefit from and raise the profile of the work the charity carries out daily.

It is essential that help is accessible to families who ask for support. We as a club are determined to use our power to help Home-Start ensure parents/carers and grandparents feel like someone is listening and available to them in their time of need.

"Here at St Mirren our success relies on more than a result on the pitch, the club’s sense of achievement very much factors in the impact we’ve had on those living within the community - how many community projects we’ve been a part of, the number of families who come along on match day. We want to make Paisley proud by saying St Mirren has made a difference to the lives of families who surround the stadium.

"It is a privilege for me to take on the role of Home-Start Ambassador for Renfrewshire. There will be full involvement from myself and the entire club and we look forward to meeting families, working with the staff team, launching valuable initiatives and fundraising for such an important and worthwhile cause."

Lisa Carberry, Interim Director of Home-Start Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, said: "To have St Mirren support Home-Start truly exemplifies community spirit. We are looking forward to growing our existing relationship with the club as we partner together over the shared interest of helping families.

"Both organisations have the same vision, to bring people together, and for families to know there is a community open to them. Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring challenges. Home-Start understands that not all parenting journeys are the same for everyone therefore Home-Start is there to help families navigate their way through these new and sometimes daunting times. Home-Start is delighted to be able to receive the support and resources that a partnership with the local Scottish Premiership Football Club can offer. The goal is always to provide the best support possible to families across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde."
