St Mirren are back in cinch Premiership action this weekend as Jim Goodwin's side take on Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Saints made it six wins from seven last weekend after a 4-0 win over Kelty Hearts in the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup on Saturday. 

The Buddies are second in the form table in the cinch Premiership having taken 13 points out of 15 since the turn of the year. Saints have beaten St Johnstone (2-1), Hibernian (1-0), Aberdeen (1-0) and Dundee United (2-1), while also drawing 1-1 against Motherwell. 

Livingston go into Saturday's match after being edged out of the Scottish Cup by Hearts - losing 4-3 in a penalty shoot-out at Tynecastle after a 0-0 draw in normal time.

David Martindale's outfit have been in fairly similar league form to Saints since their return from the winter break. The Lions have picked up 10 points from a possible 18 with wins over Aberdeen (2-1), Hibernian (3-2) and Dundee (2-0).

Previous

Saturday's match will be Saints' third trip to Livingston this season with mixed fortunes in the previous two visits. 

The Buddies exited the Premier Sports Cup in August after a penalty shoot-out loss to the Lions following a 1-1 draw in normal time. 

Ethan Erhahon scored the winner when we visited the Tony Macaroni Arena at the beginning of October. The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win for Saints. 

Saints were denied the three points the last time the sides met in November. Jamie McGrath had given St Mirren the lead before Livingston captain Nicky Devlin scored a late equaliser with the game finishing 1-1.

Full fixture details including ticketing arrangements will be announced in due course. 

It was a really professional performance with some good quality football in amongst it."

The manager praised the professionalism of his side as they defeated Kelty Hearts 4-0 in the Scottish Cup.

• St Mirren ease through after dominant win over Kelty Hearts

• Alex Greive scored his second in two games, while Greg Kiltie netted a brace

• Jordan Jones scores pick of the bunch to get his first goal in Black and White

St Mirren cruised into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup with a comprehensive victory over Kelty Hearts.

Alex Greive, Jordan Jones and a Greg Kiltie double saw Saints book their place in the last eight of the competition. 

Jim Goodwin named the same starting eleven that defeated St Johnstone midweek with Alex Greive leading the line once again after scoring his first Saints goal on Wednesday.

The visitors started in bright fashion with Kevin Thomson wanting his side to take the game to the Buddies. Joe Cardle won a free-kick in a good area early on just 20 yards from goal. Kelty captain Michael Tidser blazed well over. Cardle will feel he should have done better on 12 minutes when he was picked out by Kallum Higginbotham, but his effort was blocked by Joe Shaughnessy.

Saints took the lead with just 15 minutes on the clock when Greive netted his second goal in two games. Richard Tait's initial effort was pushed into the air by Kelty goalkeeper Darren Jamieson with the New Zealand forward the first to react as he headed home.

A tame Greive effort from the edge of the area on 30 minutes and a long-distance strike from Connor Ronan which flew over the bar 10 minutes later were all the game really had to show in the remainder of what was an uneventful first-half. 

Jim Goodwin made two changes at the break with Scott Tanser returning from injury in place of Marcus Fraser, while Ryan Flynn replaced Richard Tait.

Jordan Jones doubled Saints' advantage five minutes into the second-half with a stunning goal to open his St Mirren account. The ball was worked back to the Northern Ireland international on the left-hand side of the box and he whipped it into the far right corner of the net to put us two ahead.

Jones was instrumental in our third goal nine minutes later. The winger played a wonderful ball through to Kiltie with the outside of his foot. Kiltie swivelled and fired low into the bottom left to extend the advantage. 

Saints were well on top and heading through to the last eight but Kelty still searched for a consolation goal with substitute Alfredo Aygeman forcing Jak Alnwick into a good stop. 

In the end though it would be Jim Goodwin's men that would further extend their lead when a bit of calamitous defending from Kelty allowed Kiltie to slam home his second of the day and round off a good afternoon's work.
