It was a much improved performance. There was a lot of good stuff."

Stephen Robinson gives his reaction after our 4-0 win over Arbroath.

St Mirren host their first home match of the 2023/24 season with Arbroath the visitors to the SMiSA Stadium.  

Saints are looking to kickstart their cup campaign after a 1-0 loss to Montrose at Links Park on Saturday. New signing Stav Nahmani is in line to make his St Mirren debut after receiving his visa and training with the first team squad this week. 

Arbroath got their Viaplay Cup up and running last night with a 1-1 draw against Lowland League side Cowdenbeath at Gayfield. The Red Lichties took the bonus point after a 4-3 win on penalties.

Previous 

Saints were defeated 1-0 by Arbroath in the opening match of last year's Viaplay Cup. Dylan Paterson's injury time goal gave Dick Campbell's side the win in Group E. 

That was the first time the two had faced each other since April 2003 when Saints defeated the Red Lichties 1-0 at Love Street in the old First Division. 

The only other meeting of the two in the League Cup was back in 1990 with Tomas Stickroth scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win for Saints.

2023/24 officially gets underway for St Mirren this Saturday as we face Montrose in the Viaplay Cup. 

Stephen Robinson's men come into competitive action following four pre-season friendlies against Glentoran, Linfield, Dumbarton and Morton. 

cinch League one side Montrose have also played four friendlies with wins over Arbroath and Civil Service Strollers as well as losing efforts against Raith Rovers and Forfar Athletic. 

Stewart Petrie's side have added six players in the summer window so far, with Kane Hester being the pick of the bunch. The Gable Endies signed the forward - who scored 29 goals for Elgin last season - for a club record fee.

Saints were held to a 1-1 draw the last time Rangers visited Paisley. Jonah Ayunga's early second-half goal put us in front, but a late James Tavernier penalty saw the Ibrox side take a point. 

The Buddies came within 10 minutes of taking a point when we last played Rangers in April. Two Mark O'Hara goals had the game poised at 2-2, but three late goals saw Rangers come away with a 5-2 victory at Ibrox. 

Our last home win over the Light Blues came in December 2020 when we knocked the Ibrox side out of the League Cup with a dramatic late Conor McCarthy goal seeing us win 3-2 at The SMiSA Stadium.

It's our final away match of the 2022/23 season as Saints travel to Pittodrie on Wednesday night to face Aberdeen in the cinch Premiership.

Stephen Robinson's men picked up a well-deserved point at Celtic Park on Saturday with Curtis Main's double seeing us draw 2-2 with the champions. That put the Buddies within two points of fifth place Hibernian going into the final two matches.

Aberdeen sit in third place in the cinch Premiership and sit two points above Hearts despite a 2-1 defeat to the Jambos at Tynecastle on Saturday.

St Mirren have won two of the three meetings between the sides this season, winning 3-1 at The SMiSA Stadium in December and by the same scoreline at Pittodrie in February. 

A Kelle Roos own goal, as well as goals from Mark O'Hara and Greg Kiltie saw us come from behind to defeat the Dons in Paisley on Christmas Eve. 

Curtis Main scored twice when Saints visited Pittodrie in February with Declan Gallagher rounding off the 3-1 victory. 

Aberdeen won the first meeting of the two teams this season at Pittodrie in August, with the Dons winning 4-1.

St Mirren make the short journey through to Glasgow to face Celtic in cinch Premiership action on Saturday.

It's Saints' second to last away match of the 2022/23 season with a top five finish still within reach as the Buddies sit three points off fifth place Hibernian and four points from fourth placed Hearts. The Buddies were left gutted last weekend after an injury-time equaliser saw Saints draw 2-2 with Hearts at the SMiSA Stadium, but a top five finish remains a possibility. 

Celtic suffered just their second domestic defeat of the season last weekend as they fell to a 3-0 defeat to rivals Rangers at Ibrox. Ange Postecoglou's side were crowned Champions the week before after a 2-0 win against Hearts at Tynecastle in the first match after the split.

St Mirren are one of only two sides to have defeated Celtic in the cinch Premiership this season having beaten Ange Postecoglou's men 2-0 in September. Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga scored the goals as we secured our first home league win against the Hoops since 2010. 

Celtic have won the other three meetings between the two this season, but despite emphatic sounding scorelines (0-4, 1-5, 1-5) Saints made life difficult for the Hoops. 

Saints were also the last side to defeat Celtic at Celtic Park in domestic action going back to January 2021 when Kristian Dennis and Ilkay Durmus scored in a 2-1 victory.

St Mirren host Hearts at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday in our penultimate home match of the 2022/23 season. 

Saints were narrowly beaten by Hibernian at Easter Road in our first post-split fixture. Alex Greive netted in the second-half, but it wasn't enough to earn a share of the spoils after two first-half goals from the Hibees. The Buddies currently sit in sixth place in the cinch Premiership on 44 points. 

Hearts come into the match sitting in fourth place - four points above Saints. Interim Hearts boss Steven Naismith saw his side reduced to 10 men on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at home to Celtic. That was the Jambos sixth loss in seven league matches, but their performance against Celtic, married with a 6-1 home win over Ross County before the split, will have given Hearts a boost.

Goals from Curtis Main and Alex Gogic saw Saints defeat Hearts 2-0 at Tynecastle last month.

That was the third meeting of the two sides in 2023 with the Buddies drawing 1-1 with the Jambos at The SMiSA Stadium in January, before falling to a narrow 1-0 loss at Tynecastle six days later.

Saints' last win over Hearts at The SMiSA Stadium came in March 2020 when Jon Obika scored the only goal of the game in the final match of the curtailed 2019/20 season.

St Mirren return to cinch Premiership action this weekend as we head into the final five matches of the season.

Saints achieved a first top six finish in the current format after picking up 44 points from the first 33 matches and ensured a highest top-flight finish since 1985. Now focus is on the race for a European spot as the Buddies travel to Easter Road on Saturday sitting level on points with opponents Hibernian.

Hibernian sit in fifth place by virtue of goal difference and a fifth place finish could be enough for a European spot this season if Celtic are to beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup Final. 

Both sides will also be aiming to close the gap on fourth place Hearts who are four points ahead.

In three meetings between the sides this season, St Mirren have won one and lost two. 

Keanu Baccus scored the only goal when Saints defeated Hibernian 1-0 on a sunny August afternoon at The SMiSA Stadium.

The Hibees were 3-0 winners when the Buddies visited Easter Road back in October. And Lee Johnson's men took the bragging rights again when the sides faced at The SMiSA Stadium in February with Elie Youan netting a late winner in the last meeting of the two. 

Saturday's match comes six years to the day of our famous 1-1 draw with Hibernian at Easter Road with Rory Loy's goal seeing us complete our great escape and ensure our Championship status in 2017.

St Mirren are aiming to secure a first top-half finish since 1984/85 when Kilmarnock visit the SMiSA Stadium on Saturday.

Saints would guarantee a top six spot with a win over Killie, while a draw would likely also be enough due to our superior goal difference on Livingston. Saints sit in fifth place going into the match - a point ahead of Hibernian in sixth and two points ahead of Livingston in seventh. 

The Buddies were 10 minutes away from all but guaranteeing a top six spot last weekend with a Mark O'Hara double seeing us drawing 2-2 with Rangers at Ibrox heading into the final stretch of the match. But three quickfire goals saw the hosts win 5-2 to take all the points. 

Kilmarnock will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat to league leaders Celtic at Rugby Park on Sunday. Derek McInnes' side dropped into the relegation play-off spot following Dundee United's win over Motherwell, though they sit level on points with United and just four points off ninth place St Johnstone.

St Mirren were held to a 0-0 draw at the SMiSA Stadium when Kilmarnock visited in October. That was the Ayrshire side's first visit to Paisley since a 2-0 defeat to Saints in February 2021. 

Kilmarnock were Saints' first opponents in 2023 with Stephen Robinson's men earning a 0-0 draw at Rugby Park despite being down to 10 men for the majority of the match.

St Mirren make the short journey to Ibrox on Saturday to face Rangers in our final cinch Premiership away match before the split. 

Goals from Curtis Main and Alex Gogic saw Saints win 2-0 away to Hearts on Saturday in our first win at Tynecastle since 2013.

The Buddies have taken seven points from their last three matches and know a first ever top six finish in the current league format could be secured this weekend. A win at Ibrox would guarantee a top six finish, while other results could also go in Saints' favour even if Stephen Robinson's side don't manage a positive result at Ibrox. 

Rangers will be aiming to bounce back from their first league defeat of 2023 after Michael Beale's side lost 3-2 against Celtic on Saturday. That was a result that saw the Gers fall 12 points behind their Glasgow rivals in the cinch Premiership with seven league matches remaining.

Neither side could be separated when Saints hosted Rangers at the SMiSA Stadium in the last meeting of the two back in November. 

Jonah Ayunga scored early in the second-half to give Saints the lead before a late James Tavernier penalty gave the Ibrox side a share of the spoils. 

Rangers won 4-0 when the Buddies visited Ibrox in October, though that result probably didn't tell the full story of the match with Stephen Robinson's side creating a couple of good chances in Glasgow before conceding two goals in the final 20 minutes.
