Eamonn Brophy and Richard Tait could be available for St Johnstone match


Stephen Robinson confirmed that Eamonn Brophy and Richard Tait could be available for tomorrow’s cinch Premiership match against St Johnstone.

The pair had to be substituted during last weekend’s defeat against Hibernian after picking up injuries. Both received x-rays, but thankfully neither had broken their foot.

Speaking to the press this afternoon the manager confirmed that both have trained this morning and he is hopeful they could be be available for selection.

Today they trained for the first time, tentatively," he said.

"They will be involved tomorrow but whether we start them or not we'll give them another 24 hours and have a look at them.

"It's good news that it's not broken. It's just heavy bruising for both of them."

SMiSA Stadium closed on Monday (2nd May)

Please note that the stadium offices, ticket office and club shop will be closed this coming Monday (2nd May). 

The stadium, ticket office and club shop will all be open as usual on Tuesday.

Jak Alnwick praises travelling Saints support and calls on them for the weekend

Previous

St Mirren are undefeated against St Johnstone this season with one win and two draws from three meetings this campaign.

Alex Greive scored his first St Mirren goal in a 2-1 win over the Perth Saints at the SMiSA Stadium in February. Callum Hendry had put the visitors in front but goals from Connor Ronan and Greive either side of half-time gave the Buddies the three points. 

The first two meetings finished goalless at both the SMiSA Stadium and McDiarmid Park. 

The Buddies last win at McDiarmid Park was in 2014 when Jason Naismith and Adam Drury scored in a 2-1 win.

Joe Shaughnessy looking for Saints to pick themselves up ahead of big game on Saturday


Joe Shaughnessy admits Saturday’s defeat to Hibernian was a sickener, but says Saints have to pick themselves up for a big game this weekend.

The Buddies travel to McDiarmid Park on Saturday to face St Johnstone with the Perth outift sitting five points behind Stephen Robinson’s side in the cinch Premiership.

Shaughnessy is aware of the importance of Saturday’s match and insists there's enough know-how in the squad to deal with games like this. 

It was sickening to lose it like that,” he told stmirren.com after the match.

"We defended pretty well for the whole game and limited them to not many chances.

"It’s annoying because they didn’t have much else in the second half in the whole game, really.

"Scott Tanser’s shot at the end just comes off the bar, if it’s three or four inches lower, it’s probably going to go bouncing in and just little things like that not falling for us at the minute, but it’s important just to keep going with a big game this weekend.

"The good thing is there’s plenty of experience in the squad," he continued.

"A lot of us have been in situations like this before, so it’s just a case of trying not to not to get too down and stick together and just make sure we work hard for the weekend."

Players will fight until the end of the season, says Stephen Robinson

There's still a lot of belief in that dressing room. There's a lot of characters who will scrap and fight for this club until the last four games."

The manager gives his post-match reaction following Saints' cinch Premiership defeat at home to Hibernian.


Saints defeated by Hibernian

Saints' poor run of form continued with a disappointing defeat to Hibs.

The game was typical end of season stuff, despite both sides still not clear of the threat of relegation. An instantly forgettable first half was followed up by a slightly better second, the decisive moment coming a quarter of an hour from the end when Ewan Henderson slammed the ball past Jak Alnwick.

The goalie was back in the team after completing his suspension, Saints boss Stephen Robinson making four other chances with Scott Tanser returning from injury and Conor McCarthy, Ethan Erhahon and Curtis Main also starting. Jake Doyle-Hayes and Paul McGinn were the only member of Hibs' former Saints contingent to start, although Darren McGregor was on the bench.

Jay Henderson was one of the Saints players who had been left out of the team due to the change of shape, however his absence lasted barely 10 minutes before he was brought on to replace the injured Richard Tait. The youngster had a go from 20 yards that was well off target, the same applying to a shot from James Scott at the other end from a bit further out.

There was little to get excited about until a Henderson cross caused some chaos in the Hibs box. Eamonn Brophy tried to divert it towards goal only for visiting goalie Matt Macey to get something on it, McGinn then knocking it behind with Main lurking. Saints were beginning to get a bit of joy in the wide areas as Tanser crossed for Brophy but his heady was easily dealt with by Macey.

Before anything could happen in the second half Saints were dealt another injury blow, Brophy the player forced off this time with Alex Greive coming on. Almost immediately, the New Zealander had half a chance when a throw in was flicked on to the back post but he hooked his effort well over.

It took until midway through the half for Alnwick to be forced to make a meaningful save for the first time, and even then he had no problem holding Scott's header after he'd escaped his marker.

Henderson shot over from the edge of the box before Hibs took the lead. The ball was played out to Harry Clarke on the right and he found Ewan Henderson, who showed great composure to fire past Alnwick. Saints tried to respond, Main founding no takers after firing a dangerous ball across goal before Tanser was unlucky to hit the bar with a half-volley.

Jordan Jones and Ryan Flynn came on for Erhahon and Power as the game entered its dying stages, the changes giving Saints some brief impetus as Greive saw his shot easily dealt with by Macey before Main failed headed off-target from a corner. Hibs should have wrapped things up in stoppage time when Sylvester Jasper played in fellow sub Josh Campbell but he somehow shot over – the miss not proving costly as the visitors comfortably saw out the remaining seconds to secure all three points.

Visitor Information

  • Electronic Ticketing System

    At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.

    The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:

    • On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
    • Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
    • Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
    • Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.

    The whole process will only take a few seconds.

    Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

  • Street Parking on Matchday

    The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.

    Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.

    Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.

    St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.

  • Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day

    We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.

    Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.
