St Mirren travel to Dundee on Saturday to face Dundee United in the William Hill Premiership.

Stephen Robinson's men go into this weekend's match on the back of a good run of form that has seen them pick up 10 points from the last 12 available. 

The Buddies returned from the final international break of 2024 with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen at The SMiSA Stadium. Goals from Toyosi Olusanya and Richard Taylor saw Saints inflict a first league defeat of the season on the Dons.

A win on Saturday would see Saints leapfrog United in the William Hill Premiership with the Arabs sitting two points ahead of the Buddies.

The Opposition

Dundee United have defied their newly promoted status to sit in fourth place in the William Hill Premiership this season. Five wins and five draws in their first 13 league matches have the Arabs sitting on 20 points. 

Jim Goodwin's side picked up a point on their return from the international break following a creditable 1-1 draw away to Rangers. That result kept United just three points off the Ibrox side heading into December. 

United have prevailed in the two meetings between the two sides this season. Both matches have been closely contested, but it's been United who have come out on top winning 1-0 on each occasion. Ross Graham's first-half goal was enough to see United triumph in our Premier Sports Cup meeting at Tannadice in August, while a late Emmanuel Adegboyega saw the Arabs win 1-0 in Paisley in league action.

Saints are unbeaten in their last four league meetings at Tannadice, winning three and drawing one. Our last win away to United came in August 2022 when a brace from Curtis Main and a late Alex Greive goal saw the Buddies win 3-0.

That victory came after a 0-0 draw against Ross County and a 3-1 win against St Johnstone both at The SMiSA Stadium the previous week.

Aberdeen have had a terrific start to their season with the Dons currently sitting joint top of the William Hill Premiership and unbeaten in the league so far this season.

Manager Jimmy Thelin has lost just one match in charge of the Granite City side, losing 6-0 to Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup at the start of the month. But despite that setback, the Dons bounced back to win 4-1 at home to Dundee before the international break.

Aberdeen have won 10 of their 11 William Hill Premiership matches, their only dropped points coming away to Celtic where they battled back from 2-0 to draw 2-2 at Celtic Park. 

The Dons were victorious in the only meeting between the two sides this season, winning 3-1 at Pittodrie in August. Toyosi Olusanya levelled for Saints heading into half-time, but two second-half goals saw Aberdeen pick up the points. 

Saints won in dramatic fashion on Aberdeen's last visit to Paisley. Two goals in the space of a minute deep into injury-time from Mark O'Hara and Olusanya sparked wild scenes at The SMiSA Stadium as the Buddies came from behind to win 2-1 in March.

A 0-0 draw with Ross County on Saturday at The SMiSA Stadium followed a 3-1 victory over St Johnstone last midweek to see Saints pick up four points from our last two matches. The Buddies sit in seventh place, level on points with Dundee, Kilmarnock and Ross County and four points ahead of Hibernian who sit bottom.

The Hibees currently prop up the league with David Gray's men having picked up eight points from their opening 11 league matches.

Their solitary win came on matchday five when they defeated St Johnstone 2-0 at Easter Road in September. Hibs have drawn their last three league matches, being held 1-1 at home against both Dundee United and Hearts, while also drawing 0-0 away to Ross County. Those three draws came off the back of three defeats on the spin, losing to United (2-3), Motherwell (1-2) and Rangers (0-1). 

Saints have already faced Hibs this season with the Buddies running out 3-0 winners at The SMiSA Stadium on the opening day of the season. Roland Idowu netted the opener shortly after half-time before a late double from Oisin Smyth secured a first day victory for Stephen Robinson's side. 

Saints were also victorious in two league visits to Easter Road last season, winning 3-0 in February and 3-2 on the opening day of the 2023/24 season.

Ross County sit level on points with Saints having picked up 11 points from 11 matches in the William Hill Premiership.

The Staggies have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three matches since returning from the October international break. Don Cowie's side lost 3-0 away to St Johnstone on their return, but bounced back with a 2-1 win at home against Kilmarnock on Saturday. Wednesday night saw the Dingwall side held 0-0 against Hibernian at the Global Energy Stadium. 

There wasn't much between Saints and County last season with both sides boasting a win apiece, while the other match ended in a draw. In the only meeting at The SMiSA Stadium, coming last December, Saints won 2-0 with an own goal from Ryan Leak followed by a Jonah Ayunga strike to give the Buddies three points.

The Buddies come into Wednesday night's match on the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat away to Rangers on Sunday. Despite the loss, the strong performance against the Glasgow side will be what Saints are looking to take into Wednesday in the hopes of returning to winning ways.

St Johnstone come into the match in confident mood having put together a good run of form since the appointment of Simo Valakari as their manager. 

The Perth Saints followed up an impressive 3-0 win at home to Ross County with a 2-1 win away to Dundee on Saturday in Valakari's first match in the dugout since his appointment at the beginning of the month. Those two victories have moved St Johnstone into sixth place on 10 points. 

The Buddies were victorious in two of the three meetings between the two last season, winning both matches at The SMiSA Stadium. The first came in October 2023 when goals from Keanu Baccus, Mikael Mandron (x2) and Greg Kiltie saw Saints winning 4-0 in Paisley. Mandron was on the scoresheet again in a 2-0 victory in February of this year - the last time the two sides faced off. St Johnstone won 1-0 at McDiarmid Park in December courtesy of an injury-time goal from Chris Kane.

Rangers go into Sunday's match after facing FCSB at Ibrox in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night. 

Philippe Clement's men sit in third place in the William Hill Premiership after picking up 16 points from their opening eight matches. The Ibrox side missed an opportunity to close the gap on Aberdeen and Celtic after their draw on Saturday, but failed to do so after falling to a 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday.  

After starting the season playing their home matches at Hampden, Rangers have won their two William Hill Premiership home matches since returning Ibrox last month. A 1-0 win over Hibernian at the end of last month was followed up by a 2-0 victory over St Johnstone.

St Mirren's last win against Rangers came during the 2020/21 season when a late goal from Conor McCarthy saw Saints win 3-2 at The SMiSA Stadium in the league cup and end Rangers' unbeaten domestic run. Our last win at Ibrox came back in 1991 with Kevin McGowne's first-half goal giving us a 1-0 victory.

Hearts have this week appointed Neil Critchley as their new Head Coach following the dismissal of Steven Naismith last month. The Englishman will take charge of the Jam Tarts for the first time this weekend when Saints head to Tynecastle. 

St Mirren and Hearts have already met in the William Hill Premiership this season, with the Buddies winning 2-1 at The SMiSA Stadium last month. Toyosi Olusanya scored the winner for Saints after Craig Halkett had cancelled out an early own goal from Gerald Taylor. 

The Edinburgh side sit at the bottom of the league having picked up just two points from their first eight William Hill Premiership matches. An opening day 0-0 draw with Rangers at Tynecastle gave cause for optimism, but a run of eight straight defeats in all competitions, culminating in their 2-1 loss to Saints, saw Steven Naismith removed from his position as Head Coach.

Hearts picked up their first win of the season away to Dinamo Minsk in the UEFA Conference League just before the international break, an injury-time Yan Dhanda goal giving them a 2-1 victory. That was followed up by a narrow 3-2 defeat against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in the William Hill Premiership.

It'll be our last home match for over three weeks with the upcoming international break soon followed by away trips to Hearts and Rangers.

It's been a decent start to life back in the William Hill Premiership for Dundee United, with the Arabs losing only one of their six league matches since promotion back to the top flight. That came after a 1-0 defeat at home to Rangers last month. 

Of the other five matches, Jim Goodwin's men have won two and drawn three. One of those draws came last weekend with United coming from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 away to Kilmarnock. 

The two sides have already met this season with United edging Saints out of the Premier Sports Cup at the last 16 stage. Ross Graham's first-half goal was enough to give the Arabs a 1-0 win at Tannadice. 

St Mirren were unbeaten against United during season 2022/23 - winning twice and drawing once. The first win was at Tannadice with Saints running out 3-0 victors in August 2022. The Buddies followed that up with a 2-1 win at The SMiSA Stadium two months later. The last league meeting between the two ended up stalemate after a 1-1 draw at Tannadice in March 2023.

It's been a relatively good start to the season for Saturday's opponents with the Steelmen approaching the weekend's game after securing their place in the last four of the Premier Sports Cup.

An injury-time penalty from Lennon Miller saw the 'Well win 2-1 against Dundee United to progress to the semi-final.

In league duty, Stuart Kettlewell's men sit in sixth place having won two, drawn one and lost two of their opening five matches. Motherwell have beaten St Johnstone (2-1) and Hearts (3-1), drawn 0-0 with Ross County and lost to 2-1 away to both Rangers and Aberdeen. 

Saints were unbeaten against Motherwell in four meetings last season, winning twice and drawing twice. The Buddies won 1-0 at The SMiSA Stadium in the Premier Sports Cup thanks to a goal from Caolan Boyd-Munce. Scott Tanser's goal was enough a few weeks later to secure a 1-0 victory at Fir Park in league action. The other two matches, both in the league, ended 0-0 and 1-1.

Saturday's visitors sit at the foot of the league table having taken just one point from their first five.

An opening day 0-0 draw with Rangers at Tynecastle, coupled with a good performance, saw Hearts start the season in a positive fashion. But Stephen Naismith's men have since lost seven on the bounce in all competitions.

Amongst those seven defeats have been three losses away from home in the league to Celtic (0-2), Motherwell (1-3) and Dundee (1-3), while there was also a 1-0 defeat to Dundee United at Tynecastle. 

The previous meeting between Saints and Hearts came at The SMiSA Stadium in May in what was our final home match of the 2023/24 season. Goals from James Scott and James Bolton twice saw Saints ahead but equalisers from Kyosuke Tagawa and Lawrence Shankland saw the points shared in a 2-2 draw.
