St Mirren can confirm that our Scottish Cup third round tie against Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale will take place at Saughton Enclosure on November 18 with a 1pm kick-off. 

The game will be all ticket with prices at £10 and £5. 

We are very concerned that, as it stands, the ground is not suitable to safely accommodate the St Mirren support we expect to attend this game.

We have expressed these concerns strongly to the SFA and they have assured us that they are happy with the plans being put in place to make sure there are no issues.

There is very little parking available at the ground or surrounding area which is another concern. Where possible we would advise travelling by supporter’s bus or car-pooling to try and reduce the potential gridlock in the area surrounding the ground. We are also planning on running buses from the stadium details of which will be released shortly once we have parking information back from Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale.

The St Mirren Fans Council have confirmed their AGM will take place on Wednesday 6th December at the SMFC 1877 Supporters Club within the Paisley 2021 Stadium.  

The event will begin at 7pm prompt with all supporters invited to attend. 

St Mirren's Ladbrokes Championship match against Livingston scheduled for Saturday 11th November has been postponed due to international call-ups. 

Anyone who has purchased a ticket already will be able to transfer it when a new date is confirmed or can contact the ticket office for a refund. 

A new date will be announced as soon as possible.

I would like to take the opportunity to address a couple of issues in the wake of Saturday's derby draw against Morton. 

First of all, my comments regarding the referee Steven McLean's performance. Having watched the game again I feel that my criticism of Steven's overall performance was not proportionate. While I remain in disagreement with a couple of important decisions, in particular the caution given to Gavin Reilly for simulation, I believe it is important I acknowledge when I may have made a couple of incorrect observations. 

I speak regularly about self reflection and analysis and therefore it would be hypocritical of me not to do so in these instances. 

Secondly, I wish to both acknowledge and thank the outstanding support provided within the stadium on Saturday. I feel that as a club we have taken continued forward steps in the past twelve months and undoubtedly the fanbase has played a pivotal role in galvanising the club. 

I am immensely proud of my players and staff in terms of how hard they work and how driven they are to bring success to the club, and I am pleased that the support also appears appreciative of their efforts. We have very much shifted expectations in recent times and while I welcome the challenge of not only meeting, but exceeding them, there will still be plenty of bumps and obstacles along the way. 

This is when the support will be most vital and I hope that the fans continue to trust in the players and staff as much as I do. 

Thank you again, not just for Saturday, but for the continued and consistent fantastic backing. 

St Mirren manager Jack Ross gives his thoughts on today's 2-2 draw in the Renfrewshire derby.

Referee Steven McLean awarded two penalties in the match but his decision not to award one late on for a foul on Gavin Reilly left Saints frustrated. 

The Buddies remain two points clear at the top of the table ahead of next weekend's trip to Tannadice.

St Mirren had to settle for a point in a controversial Renfrewshire derby as Morton came from behind twice to draw 2-2. 

Ian McShane gave Saints a second half lead from the penalty spot before Andy Murdoch levelled almost immediately for the visitors. Gavin Reilly scored his 11th goal of the season to put the Buddies back in front on 72 minutes. But Morton equalised with just over 10 minutes to play when Gary Harkins scored the game's second penalty as both sides shared the spoils.

The visitors almost took an early lead when a mix up between Liam Smith and Jack Baird saw Jai Quitongo race through on goal. The striker tried to break away but was closely followed by Gregor Buchanan who did enough to put off him and take the sting out of his eventual shot which Craig Samson pushed wide.

Lewis Morgan went close twice in quick succession as Saints looked to take an early lead. Countering from a Morton corner, Stephen McGinn slipped a lovely through ball for Cammy Smith who rode the challenge of a Morton defender before picking out Morgan inside the area. The winger created a bit of space inside the box but the connection on the ball wasn't clean as the ball rolled just by the post. He did, however, go close four minutes later with a swerving shot on the edge of the box was well pushed over the bar by Derek Gaston.

The Buddies were on top and almost grabbed the lead when Gavin Reilly found himself in good space, rifling a shot just over the bar after the half hour mark.

The game hit a bit of a lull, but Andy Murdoch almost caught out Samson with a good hit from the edge of the box that was moving in the wind. The Saints keeper did well to push the powerful drive away as half time approached. 

Half Time: St Mirren 0-0 Morton

St Mirren started the second half brightly, winning a corner within the first minute of the restart. Then, two minutes later, Morton goalkeeper Gaston was forced into a terrific save by Lewis Morgan. The winger was found alone inside the box and rattled the ball towards the top corner with the keeper doing well to touch it over the bar. 

With around 25 minutes to play, Saints were awarded a penalty kick as Lewis Morgan was pulled down. Question marks surrounded whether the foul had taken place in or out of the box, but referee Steven McLean pointed to the penalty spot. The Buddies have made a bit of a habit of missing penalties over the last year or so, but made no mistake as Ian McShane sent Gaston the wrong way to draw first blood in the derby. 

But St Mirren wouldn't be allowed to enjoy the lead for long as the visitors got themselves level two minutes later. A ball in from the left was headed out the box where it met the oncoming Andy Murdoch who drilled it sweetly into the bottom corner from 25 yards out to make it 1-1.

The game had well and truly burst into life with Saints regaining the lead a little over three minutes later. Cammy Smith's searching ball into the box was swept home first time by Reilly for his 11th goal in the black and white of St Mirren. 

And Reilly almost wrapped the game up soon after when he clipped a shot just beyond the post as the Buddies searched for a third. 

But the derby day drama wasn't done there as Morton were awarded a penalty of their own with just over 10 minutes to go. Gregor Buchanan was judged to have brought down Ton defender Thomas O'Ware inside the box as a corner was swung in. Ex-Saint Gary Harkins stepped up and stroked the ball beyond Samson to make it 2-2. 

Saints looked to be denied a second penalty when Gavin Reilly was scythed down as he burst into the box. Remarkably, the referee booked the striker for simulation despite clear contact. 

In the end it was only a point for the Buddies who still remain two points clear at the top of the Ladbrokes Championship.

It’s derby day in Renfrewshire tomorrow as St Mirren host Greenock Morton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.

The sides have already met once this season when St Mirren made the short journey to Cappielow in August. Cammy Smith scored a sensational goal in front of almost 2000 Saints in the Wee Dublin End a few minutes before half time to cancel out Michael Tidser’s opener for the home side. However, a red card for Jack Baird saw Saints reduced to 10 men early in the second half with Tidser scoring from the resultant penalty. Goals from Bob McHugh and Andy Murdoch rounded off a disappointing afternoon for the Buddies.

Jack Ross’ side bounced back from that 4-1 loss as they went on to win six of their next eight league matches – a run that saw them claim the top spot in the Ladbrokes Championship. Indeed it has been Saints’ home form in the league that has been integral to the side sitting top of the pile. The Buddies have won their first five league matches at home this season – the first time that’s happened since moving into the Paisley 2021 Stadium. Falkirk, Dundee United, Inverness, Queen of the South and Brechin have all made the journey to Paisley this season and left with nothing.

But it's results on the road over the past two weeks that have seen Saints remain top of the table. Last weekend's 0-0 draw with Falkirk at the Falkirk Stadium saw the Buddies pick up a good point on the back of a first win away to Dumbarton since 1996 the previous week. 

Meanwhile, Jim Duffy’s Morton currently sit in sixth place in the Ladbrokes Championship with four wins, three draws and three defeats from their opening ten matches. Two of their wins in the league this season have come on the road – a 2-1 win over Queen of the South in Dumfries and a 1-0 victory at Brechin two weeks ago.

Like Saints, they come into tomorrow’s match unbeaten in their last two matches. Last weekend they drew 1-1 with Dumbarton at Cappielow as McHugh's second half strike cancelled out Mark Stewart's early goal for the Sons, while an 81st minute goal saw them squeeze past Brechin at Glebe Park a fortnight ago. 

The Buddies are unbeaten at home against Morton since a 5-1 loss in 1999. However, two 1-1 draws with the Greenock side saw Saints fail to defeat them at home last season. Saints' last win over Morton at the Paisley 2021 Stadium came in April 2016 with goals from Lawrence Shankland, Calum Gallagher and Stevie Mallan seeing the Buddies come out on top 3-1.

The squad looks likely to be as it was for last weekend's draw against Falkirk. Harry Davis is edging closer to a comeback after returning to training, but he remains out as do fellow long-term absentees Gary MacKenzie and Josh Todd.

As is always the case with derby matches, three points for either side are all the sweeter as both look to claim bragging rights. A win for Saints would keep them top of the table, while three points could see Morton climb into the play-off positions.

It’s all set to be an exciting match with over 4,000 supporters expected at the Paisley 2021 Stadium tomorrow. Tickets will be on sale right until kick-off so if you haven’t already got yours make sure you do and come back the Buddies.
