We're starting to see the fruits of our labour. Hopefully the fans can see what we're trying to build to."

Stephen Robinson gives his assessment on today's win over Dundee.

St Mirren secured their status in the cinch Premiership after a dominant performance against Dundee. 

Goals either side of half-time from strikers Alex Greive and Curtis Main gave Saints a 2-0 victory and that result saw Saints move above Aberdeen into ninth and to within three points of seventh spot. 

The Saints couldn't have wished for a better start - taking the lead with just four minutes on the clock. Charlie Adam inexplicably played the ball across the face of the Dundee box straight to Greive who knocked home from close range. 

The Buddies almost had a second on 20 minutes when Main rose above the visitors defence to power a header towards the far corner, but Dundee goalkeeper Harry Sharp made a wonderful save to tip it wide. 

Greg Kiltie was inches away from making it 2-0 three minutes later when he drove an effort wide from 20 yards. 

After a comfortable first-half for Saints, the away side came out the brighter after the interval and had two big chances in the space of two minutes to level. Jak Alnwick made a brilliant one-handed save on 47 minutes to claw away Ryan Sweeney's header before a stramash in the box saw the ball fall to Jordan McGhee just a few yards from goal, but the defender knocked it off the post with Alnwick managing to gather. 

Saints weathered that early storm and doubled their advantage 10 minutes into the second-half. Main brought down Marcus Fraser's cross-ball with an incredible first touch before lashing a thunderous effort into the top corner.

That goal killed the game off with Stephen Robinson's side able to see the rest of the match out comfortably to ensure Premiership football next season and continue the push for a seventh place finish.

Half-Time Presentation for Tony Fitzpatrick

A special presentation will be made to Tony Fitzpatrick at half-time of tomorrow’s match against Dundee to thank him for his service to St Mirren following his retirement as Chief Executive.

Tony served St Mirren with distinction during a wonderful career as a player, manager and Chief Executive.

Beginning his Saints journey almost 50 years ago, Tony Fitzpatrick’s name has been synonymous with St Mirren since making his debut way back in 1973.

As a player, Tony made over 450 appearances for the Buddies and remains the second highest appearance maker in club history behind Hugh 'Shuggie' Murray. These two spells as a player saw him captain the club, play in Europe and in our Scottish Cup win in 1987.

He would then hold the position of manager twice as well as five years as Chief Executive before transitioning to his new role as club ambassador.

Stephen Robinson has confirmed that Connor Ronan and Jordan Jones may have played their last games for St Mirren. 

The pair have returned to their parent clubs - Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic respectively - for treatment on injuries and the manager is unsure of whether they will return to the club with only three matches remaining in the cinch Premiership season.

We await updates of their injuries," the manager told the media this afternoon. 

"Connor has been playing with an ankle injury and Jordan with a shoulder injury. They've gone back for scans so they're likely to be unavailable.

"I believe it'll be hard for them to play again this season in such a small timescale. We'll be dictated to by the parent clubs.

"Connor has been pivotal this season. We'll assess it and stay in touch with them.

"We've got 14 fit players who are fighting for us. They're playing with knocks and injections and it's a credit to them. They're really fighting for the football club."

It's St Mirren's last Saturday match of the 2021/22 season this weekend as we head into the final three matches. 

Stephen Robinson's side host Dundee at the SMiSA Stadium with a chance to assure cinch Premiership status for next season. The Buddies are eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot with just nine points to play for after Saturday's 1-0 win away to St Johnstone. 

Depending on results elsewhere, Saints could move up to eighth place with a win on Saturday. 

Dundee know that a defeat could send them back to the second tier after a year in the Premiership. The Dee currently trail 11th place St Johnstone by five points, but a defeat for Mark McGhee's men coupled by a St Johnstone win at Livingston would see the Dark Blues relegated. 

Dundee have drawn three and lost two of their last five league matches - drawing with St Johnstone (1-1), Dundee United (2-2) and Aberdeen (2-2), while losing to Aberdeen (0-1) and Rangers (1-2). 

The Dens Park side haven't won in the cinch Premiership since a 2-1 victory against Hearts at Tynecastle in February - a run of 10 matches without a win.

The Buddies have won one, drawn one and lost one in their three meetings with the Dee this season.

The two sides met at the Kilmac Stadium on the opening day of the season with Eamonn Brophy and Jamie McGrath scoring in a 2-2 draw.

Dundee then took the points on their first visit to Paisley this season with Max Anderson's early goal enough to secure a 1-0 win for the visitors.

Saints left it late but managed to get the win when they faced Dundee in March. Connor Ronan scored an injury time header in a 1-0 win to give Stephen Robinson his first victory in charge of the Buddies.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to confirm that Scott Tanser has agreed a contract extension which ties him to the club until summer 2024.

The English full-back joined Saints in June 2021 after spending four years at fellow cinch Premiership side St Johnstone. Initially penning a one-year deal with the option of a further year, Scott has now agreed to extend his stay in Paisley for the next two seasons.

In his debut season at St Mirren, Tanser has made 35 appearances with two goals and four assists in the cinch Premiership.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Scott is one of the best left-backs in this league.

"He provides a real threat going forward with his deliveries and is a natural left-sided player so brings us balance. We're delighted to have him staying with us.

"We're in negotiations with numerous players both at the club and elsewhere as we look to add to what is a good core of players."
