There's a place in the Betfred Cup semi-finals up for grabs as St Mirren host Rangers at the SMiSA Stadium on Wednesday.

Jim Goodwin's side defeated Aberdeen in the last 16 to reach this stage and head into the match on the back of a 1-0 win over Motherwell on Saturday which extended our unbeaten run to nine matches.

Rangers are unbeaten domestically this season and beat Falkirk 4-0 at the Falkirk Stadium last month to progress to the quarter-finals. Steven Gerrard's outfit come into the match having beaten Dundee United 2-1 at Tannadice on Sunday.

Manager's Thoughts

"Rangers will be heavy favourites to go on and win the cup but as we have all seen in recent years, particularly in this competition, there are upsets along the way.

"There’s definitely an opportunity there and I think everyone will be willing us on on Wednesday. Every other manager that’s left in the competition will want us to cause an upset because if we are able to knock out Rangers then it’s a better opportunity for everyone."

Jim Goodwin's men defeated the Steelmen in Scottish Premiership action at Fir Park in February. Jon Obika levelled early in the second-half after Motherwell had taken the lead through Liam Donnelly. Ilkay Durmus netted a late winner to give Saints all three points.

The Buddies had knocked Motherwell out of the Scottish Cup on penalties a week previous following a 4-4 draw. 

Manager's Thoughts

"We're in a great place at the moment.

"Motherwell, although they haven't hit the heights of last season, still pretty much have the same squad and they are capable on any day of beating anyone.

"We've got to be aware of the threat Motherwell carry, but we've also got to remind ourselves of how well we are playing and how much of a threat we are carrying at the moment.

"To do what we did to Aberdeen back-to-back gives us great confidence and belief. We have to take confidence from those particular games and carry it into another difficult game against Motherwell.

"We feel as if everyone is back to 100% fitness and injury wise we've got no concerns. It's a great place for me to be as manager when we have real competition for places."

Who are the officials?

Euan Anderson is the man in the middle on Saturday. He's assisted by Andrew McWilliam and Ross Macleod. Alan Newlands is the fourth official. 

St Mirren men once again welcome Aberdeen to the SMiSA Stadium this weekend in the Scottish Premiership.

Manager's thoughts

"The players and staff are all in a good place at the moment because we're on a good run.

"Beating a team like Aberdeen, who are probably the third biggest in the country, and put in the level of performance that we did was outstanding. 

"We're under no illusions that this weekend is going to be a completely different Aberdeen. I imagine they'll be really fired up and looking to put things right in their eyes so we have to be prepared for that.

"Our bread and butter is the league and it's important we back up the two most recent league games with another really good performance and result."

Who are the officials?

Bobby Madden is the referee for Saturday's match. He'll be assisted by David McGeachie and Paul O'Neill. Kevin Graham is the fourth official. 

St Mirren host Aberdeen at the SMiSA Stadium on Saturday with a place in the Betfred Cup quarter-finals up for grabs.

Manager's Thoughts

"Hopefully we can put in a similar performance to the win over Livingston in terms of the organisation, togetherness and desire that the players showed and hopefully added to that we can play some good football along the way. 

"It's a competition that if we apply ourselves properly and get a little bit of luck along the way you can go far in it.

"I'm expecting Aberdeen to come all guns blazing. Apart from getting Celtic or Rangers this is the next toughest game we could have got. But it is a one off game and it's an opportunity for us to try and get to a quarter-final of a major trophy."

Saints have faced Aberdeen once already this season. 

Jim Goodwin's travelled to Pittodrie at the start of October but were edged out by a last-minute winner for Lewis Ferguson that gave the Dons a 2-1 win.

Previous

Saints hosted Livingston on the opening day of the 2020/21 season in our first competitive match since March 2020.

Debut boy Richard Tait's first-half header was enough to secure a 1-0 win for the Buddies. 

St Mirren were narrowly beaten when they travelled to the Tony Macaroni Arena back in February. Jon Obika scored in the second-half after Steven Lawless and Lyndon Dykes had put Livi 2-0 ahead, but Saints couldn't find the equaliser.

Saints last win away to Livingston was in April 2019 when a 3-1 victory edged the Buddies closer to Premiership survival. 

Who are the officials?

The referee on Saturday is William Collum. His assistants are Frank Connor and David Doig. Graham Grainger is the fourth official. 

St Mirren could win Betfred Cup Group G and qualify for the second round when they visit Queen's Park tomorrow afternoon.

A win would guarantee top spot for Saints, while a draw could also be enough depending on the result between Partick Thistle and Morton.

The Buddies go into tomorrow's match in top spot with seven points. Jim Goodwin's men defeated Partick Thistle 4-1 in the first match of the group before picking up bonus points on penalties following draws with Queen of the South (2-2) and Morton (1-1).

Queen's Park cannot qualify for next round having lost all three of their Betfred Cup matches so far. Ray MacKinnon's side lost 2-0 to Partick Thistle, 1-0 to Morton and 3-1 to Queen of the South.

There will be audio commentary available to St Mirren TV international subscribers only.

Manager's Thoughts

"Queen's Park have some players who could be playing at a higher level. I am trying to make that point to the players that we shouldn't underestimate them. I think they are a club who could easily be competing in the Championship.

"They have a manager with great experience and have had a really good start to their league. They probably haven't had the kind run in the Betfred Cup that they'd hope for but I think that's down to how tough our group is. 

"We are really looking forward to it. It's a chance for some of the lads to play at the national stadium for the first.

"We know if we win the game we will top the group and qualify and that's been our target from the beginning."

Previous

The last time St Mirren faced Queen's Park was in the Betfred Cup in July 2018. 

Saints couldn't find a way past the League Two side that night with the game finishing 0-0. The Buddies picked up the bonus point after winning 5-4 on penalties.

Who are the officials?

The referee for tomorrow's match is Greg Aitken. The linesmen are Sean Carr and Colin Drummond. 

St Mirren host Morton in the first Renfrewshire derby since 2018 as the Greenock side visit Paisley this evening. 

Saints have five points in Group G of the Betfred Cup after a win over Partick Thistle and a draw away to Queen of the South in our opening two matches. A win tonight would put Jim Goodwin's men in a commanding position with one game remaining. 

The Buddies come into tonight's match on the back of a 0-0 draw with Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership on Friday night.

Morton, meanwhile, are a point behind Saints having picked up four points from their opening two matches. Morton drew 2-2 with Queen of the South at Cappielow but missed out on the bonus point before defeating Queen's Park 1-0. 

David Hopkin's side meet Saints tonight on the back of a 5-0 defeat away to Raith Rovers on Saturday.

Manager's Thoughts

"We want to go and win our Betfred Cup group anyway but the fact it’s against Morton adds to the occasion. I certainly don’t want to be the manager that loses against Morton and I know the players don’t want to be the group that loses to Morton.

"It’s a game we need to win regardless. The fans demand it and we certainly demand it of each other. 

"I said to the players it would be great to give the fans something to cheer about. There's nothing better than beating your local rivals and getting the bragging rights."

Previous

Saints last faced Morton in April 2018 on the day the Buddies lifted the Scottish Championship trophy.

Saints last Scottish Premiership match came over a month ago when Saints were edged out by a last minute winner away to Aberdeen.  

Dundee United, meanwhile, come into Friday's match on the back of a 2-1 win over Ross County at Tannadice on Saturday. 

Mickey Mellon's side sit nine points ahead of Saints in sixth place, but have played three games more than the Buddies.

Manager's Thoughts

"We've got a fair idea of what to expect from Dundee United. I was at their game on Saturday against Ross County and they played really well. They are very well organised and Mickey Mellon has them working really hard.

"We're well aware of how dangerous Dundee United are on the attacking front, but we have to go into it with belief and confidence that we can cause them problems of our own and I believe we have the players within our ranks to do that. It should make for an entertaining game. 

"It's a fresh start for us. We can't affect what's happened and everyone knows we've had a tough time as of late. But there's a real air of excitement this week to be back at it and everyone is really looking forward to Friday night."

Previous

St Mirren have already faced Dundee United this season with the Buddies losing 2-1 at Tannadice in September.

Goals from Lawrence Shankland and Adrian Sporle either side of half-time gave United a 2-0 lead. Despite being reduced to 10 men after Richard Tait was sent off, Saints pulled a goal back through Dylan Connolly but were unable to find an equaliser. 

St Mirren came out on top, on penalties, when Dundee United last visited St Mirren Park in the Scottish Premiership play-offs in May 2019. 

Saints have won their last three league meetings against Dundee United at St Mirren Park winning 2-0, 3-0 and 3-2. 

Who are the officials?

David Munro is the referee on Friday. He is assisted by Graham Chambers and John McCrossan. Alan Newlands is the fourth official. 

St Mirren return to Scottish Premiership action this weekend as Jim Goodwin's men host Motherwell on Saturday.

The Buddies picked up five points from our opening two Betfred Cup matches - defeating Partick Thistle 4-1 at St Mirren Park, before coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Queen of the South at Palmerston and taking a bonus point on penalties. 

Motherwell haven't been in action since a 5-1 defeat at home against Rangers at the end of September.

Stephen Robinson's side, who aren't involved in the Betfred Cup group stages due to their qualification for Europe, were due to play Kilmarnock at the start of the month, but that match was postponed by the SPFL after the Kilmarnock squad had to self-isolate.

Saints faced the Steelmen five times last season - winning twice, drawing once and losing twice. 

The last meeting saw Ilkay Durmus score a late winner at Fir Park as St Mirren won 2-1 at Fir Park in February. 

The two sides couldn't be separated when Motherwell last visited Paisley, also in February, in Scottish Cup action. Mark O'Hara scored the opener for the Steelmen before Alex Jakubiak levelled in the second-half. 

Manager's thoughts

"We have to try and approach the game the same way we did the Aberdeen game, obviously with a different outcome.

"If we can take seven points or nine points from the next three games that could really catapult us up the table."

Who are the officials?

Bobby Madden is the referee on Saturday. He is assisted by Calum Spence and Gary Hilland. David Lowe is the fourth official.
