Saints manager Jack Ross gives his thoughts on St Mirren's 2-1 win over Dunfermline Athletic. The Buddies picked up their first win at East End Park since 2001 as Saints extend their lead at the top to 11 points. 

St Mirren extended their lead at the top of the Championship table to 11 points after a hard fought win against Dunfermline Athletic.

The Saints saw out a 2-1 victory at East End Park, with goals from Cammy Smith and Jack Baird either side of half time enough to see all three points belong to the Paisley side.

The game started off brightly, with shouts for a penalty from the home fans, after Declan McManus went down in the box after a well whipped cross from Michael Paton. McManus believed Jack Baird was holding him and prevented him getting on the end of the cross, but referee John Beaton waved play on.

It didn’t take long for the deadlock to be broken though, as Cammy Smith put the Saints ahead on the 14 minute mark with a goal of the season contender. Some tidy play by Stephen McGinn in the centre of the park saw him slip through Lewis Morgan who broke through the middle. Morgan then played a reverse back heel into Cammy Smith who was through on goal and coolly slotted past Lee Robinson in the Dunfermline goal.

The rest of the first half saw very few chances for both teams. A strike from Saint’s top goalscorer Gavin Reilly aimed straight at Lee Robinson and Kallum Higginbotham doing the same at the other end of the pitch meant St Mirren went into the break with a 1-0 advantage.

Dunfermline came out in the second half determined to get back in the game, and they succeeded on the 48th minute. A free kick from the right hand side was played high to the back post, where Jean Yves Mvoto headed the ball into the six yard box and Nicky Clark won the race to nod it past Craig Samson to even up the score.

Dunfermline really started to take the game to Jack Ross’ side, with St Mirren’s only chance coming from Kyle Magennis’ dipping freekick from 25 yards which was touched over the bar for a corner.

St Mirren managed to restore their lead on the 64th minute. Another free kick from 25 yards, but instead of taking a pop at goal, Magennis decided to delicately chip the ball to the back post, where Jack Baird was standing alone and volleyed past the Dunfermline goalkeeper to the elation of the travelling support.

Morgan could have put the game out of sight for the Championship leaders on two occasions. The first came after a nice give and go with Adam Eckersley saw Morgan cut in from the left and get away a shot, only to be firmly blocked by Robinson. Then three minutes later Morgan was through again, when Stephen McGinn stole the ball from Dunfermline and played through the overlapping winger who blazed the ball over the bar from 15 yards out.

The remaining few minutes saw the away side really hemmed in which lead to the introduction of Gary MacKenzie for goalscorer Cammy Smith. The Pars plugged away at St Mirren’s defence, but to no avail. Two courageous blocks from goalscorer Baird was enough to prevent Dunfermline and seal a first win away to Pars since 2001.

St Mirren are back to league action this week as they travel to Fife on tonight to take on Dunfermline Athletic.

After last week's exit from the Scottish Cup at the hands of Aberdeen, Saints will be keen to bounce back with a win at East End Park.

The two last met at the Paisley 2021 Stadium in December where St Mirren ran out 1-0 winners in a controversial affair, after Cammy Smith slotted home from six yards out after a nice piece of play from the Buddies. The main talking point from the game though was when referee Craig Charleston awarded a penalty for Dunfermline, after a tackle from Adam Eckersley on Ryan Williamson, only to overturn the decision moments later and award a freekick to the Saints.

This was The Buddies first victory over The Pars since they were promoted back to the Championship in 2015/16. The five previous league meetings between the clubs have resulted in three wins for Dunfermline and two draws.

The last time the two sides met at East End Park was a day to forget for Jack Ross' side, as they went down 3-0 to the home side back in September. Goals from Declan McManus, David Hopkirk and Calum Morris were enough to seal all three point. But St Mirren's disappointing afternoon wasn't finished, as they saw the game out with only nine men, after a straight red card for Adam Eckersley and second yellow for Gregor Buchanan rounded off a bad day at the office for Saints. 

St Mirren go into this game in good league form as they are unbeaten in their last seven games - winning six and drawing just the once. The last league outing was a 2-0 win over Dumbarton, which included a first goal of the season for captain Stephen McGinn.

Dunfermline had been on a poor run, picking up only three points from seven games during November and December. They seem to have put this past them though and come into the game in decent league form, having won three out of their last four games, drawing their last game 0-0 with Dundee Utd. 

It will be another tough test for St Mirren, but could be a crucial game in the club's hunt for promotion this season.

We can confirm that the St Mirren airdome is now fully operational. 

The dome had come down due to weather conditions last week, but has now been restored to working order. 

Community classes this weekend will be ON. For more information or enquiries please email info@stmirren.com.
