Previous
St Mirren were the winners when the two sides last met in the Scottish Cup back in 2012.
A 0-0 draw at the SMiSA Stadium forced a replay. Saints were victorious in the replay at Hamilton with Graham Carey netting the only goal in a 1-0 win.
Saturday sees the two sides meet for the fourth time this season.
Saints have come out on top in one of the previous three fixtures - winning 1-0 at the FOYS Stadium in August.
The Buddies have drawn 1-1 with Accies in the last two fixtures. Indeed, Hamilton were the last opposition for Saints before the international break with an agonising late goal from Kyle Munro grabbing a share of the spoils for Brian Rice's men at Hamilton.
Who are the officials?
Euan Anderson is the referee on Saturday. Alan Mulvanny and Stuart Stevenson are the linesmen. The fourth official is David Lowe.
