It's the first leg of the Ladbrokes Premiership Play-Off Final tonight as St Mirren take on Dundee United at Tannadice.

FORM

St Mirren - WWDDWD

Dundee United - WWLWWW

St Mirren are unbeaten in our last six matches heading into the play-offs. 

Three wins and three draws weren't enough to avoid 11th in the league, but gives us a bit of momentum heading into tonight's match.

The Buddies have won the last two matches - a 2-0 win at home to Hamilton last week was followed up by 3-2 win over Dundee on Saturday at Dens Park.

Dundee United won both their matches against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Play-Off Semi-Final to set up tonight's match. Ex-Saint Paul McMullan scored the game's only goal in Inverness last Tuesday. United sealed their place in the final on Friday night when they defeated Inverness 3-0 at Tannadice.

PREVIOUS

This will be the second meeting between the two sides this season after having come up against each other in the Scottish Cup in February. 

United ran out 2-1 winners at the Simple Digital Arena with goals first-half goals from Pavol Safranko and Nicky Clark putting the Tangerines in control. Duckens Nazon pulled a goal back for Saints after Calum Butcher was sent off for a poor challenge on Ryan Flynn but the Buddies couldn't find a leveller and were knocked out. 

The Tangerines won the last match between the two at Tannadice last April. Billy King's third minute goal was enough to give United a 1-0 win.

A Lewis Morgan double gave Saints our last win over United. The Buddies defeated the Arabs 2-0 at the Simple Digital Arena in December 2017.

WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN

Quite simply, the advantage heading into the second leg on Sunday. 

TEAM NEWS

Anders Dreyer and Greg Tansey remain out for Saints, while the manager told the press that Simeon Jackson is still struggling after coming off last week against Hamilton.

Calum Butcher is United's only injury concern ahead of tonight's match.

WHAT THE GAFFER SAYS

"United are a good side. They put us out of the Scottish Cup earlier in the season and they have a huge amount to play for.

"We've come an awful long way since that day in the cup. We're a different animal now, that's fair to say.

"The last few months has seen a real upsurge in performances and more importantly the number of points we accumulated. It's easy to say we're in our best form of the season.

"It's been a heck of a season and now we want to top it off by staying in the league."

We are going to extend the time we are holding season ticket holders seats until 7pm tomorrow (Tuesday 21st May). Unfortunately, if your seat has already been sold to someone else due to earlier issues we had you will need to buy another seat online or at the ticket office. 

We are still awaiting delivery of tickets for Thursday's away match against Dundee United, but as soon as we receive them and get them on our system they will be available for purchase. We expect that to be around 5pm. 

Given the short time before the match we will not be offering a postal service for these tickets.

If you have pre-ordered your tickets for either of the games they can be uplifted at the main reception. 

We are doing everything within our power to ensure there are as many options as possible for fans to buy and uplift their tickets. 

The club is putting on two buses on Thursday 23rd May for our trip to face Dundee United in the Ladbrokes Premiership Play-Off Final first leg.

The buses will be departing the Simple Digital Arena at 5:00pm on Thursday 23rd May. 

Tickets are available to purchase at the main reception of the Simple Digital Arena. 

Alcohol is strictly prohibited on the buses.

Tickets for Sunday's play-off final match against Dundee Utd at the Simple Digital Arena are now on sale to season ticket holders. 

Prices are in line with the SPFL's minimum pricing of £18 for adults and £12 for concessions. 

The ticket office opening hours will be extended this week and we'll have full details of that on stmirren.com tomorrow.

Despite making all the advance preparations we could for the ticket sales for our upcoming play-off games we have been undone by an unexpected glitch. 

Everything was set up in preparation for the tickets to go on sale tomorrow, however, the ticketing system went live last night and it appears that this has allowed people to buy tickets. This has now become common knowledge and everybody is now buying tickets. 

As of now we have put a hold on anyone buying a ticket who is not a season ticket holder until 10am on Monday morning.

We have also put a hold on all season ticket holders seats until 4pm tomorrow to allow anyone who does not buy online to come down to the ticket office.

Unfortunately this will not allow fans whose seats have been sold to get them back but it will give them the opportunity to buy the best of what is left. 

We would like to apologise in advance to all those who are unable to get their regular seat.
