The campaign is being led locally in partnership with Fearless, the youth service of Crimestoppers, and No Knives, Better Lives (NKBL), with activity taking place throughout April in schools and online.

As part of the campaign, No Knives, Better Lives will support awareness activity at Saturday's William Hill Premiership match between St Mirren and Aberdeen at The SMiSA Stadium. This will include NKBL messaging displayed on screens within the stadium and Police Scotland Youth Volunteers handing out leaflets outside the ground.

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.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

    Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street.

No Knives, Better Lives Campaign

Police Scotland is launching a month-long awareness campaign across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde to highlight the dangers and consequences of violence and to signpost young people, parents, carers and teachers to support and educational resources.

The campaign is being led locally in partnership with Fearless, the youth service of Crimestoppers, and No Knives, Better Lives (NKBL), with activity taking place throughout April in schools, online and at two local football fixtures.

As part of the campaign, No Knives, Better Lives will support awareness activity at Saturday's William Hill Premiership match between St Mirren and Aberdeen at The SMiSA Stadium. This will include NKBL messaging displayed on screens within the stadium and Police Scotland Youth Volunteers handing out leaflets outside the ground.

Alongside the matchday activity, information will be shared with parents, carers and teachers from all the region’s secondary schools, signposting them to resources from both Fearless and No Knives, Better Lives.

Inspector Laura Magill, of Police Scotland, said: "Becoming involved in violent crime can have devastating and life-changing consequences, not only for those directly involved, but also for families, friends and the wider community.

"This campaign is about raising awareness, encouraging conversations and making sure young people know where they can turn for help, advice and support. By working with partners such as Fearless and No Knives, Better Lives, we can reach young people in a variety of settings and help reinforce the message that carrying a knife is never the answer."

Anyone seeking more information during the campaign will be able to access resources from Fearless and No Knives, Better Lives through local schools, campaign partners and Police Scotland’s social media channels.

Match Details

St Mirren v Aberdeen
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 4th April 2026
Kick-off: 3pm

Tickets

Season tickets and half-season tickets are valid for Saturday's match. Non-season ticket holders can buy tickets at stmirren.com/matchtickets

Aberdeen supporters can only buy directly from Aberdeen.

Form

St Mirren picked up their first win on the road since September with a 2-1 victory away to Falkirk prior to the international break. Goals from Miguel Freckleton and Liam Donnelly saw Saints come from behind to pick up an important three points in the William Hill Premiership.

The Buddies remain in 10th place on 27 points and are joint on points with Kilmarnock who occupy the 11th spot. A win on Saturday for Craig McLeish's side would see us go level with Aberdeen who sit in ninth place on 30 points. 

The Dons, who drew 1-1 at home against Falkirk in Stephen Robinson's first match as manager, were beaten 4-1 by Rangers at Ibrox before the break. Their last league victory came in January when they defeated Livingston 6-2 at Pittodrie. 

Richard King scored a 99th minute equaliser when the sides drew 3-3 at Pittodrie in December. The Buddies took the lead thanks to a Marcus Fraser penalty, but fell behind after quickfire goals from Dante Polvara and Mario Lazetic. Jonah Ayunga drew us level on 82 minutes before the Dons retook the lead with Lazetic's second goal a few minutes later. Jamaican international King scored a header deep in stoppage time to grab a share of the spoils.

An injury-time goal from Lazetic saw Aberdeen defeat 10-men Saints 1-0 at The SMiSA Stadium in October, securing their first league victory in Paisley since 2018.

Spring Clean Scotland is Keep Scotland Beautiful's annual campaign which brings together people from across Scotland to tackle litter. During this month-long campaign, thousands of volunteers spend time outdoors cleaning up the environment through sociable, fun, litter picking sessions.

Craig McLeish remains in interim charge until the end of the season; Stuart Taylor joins as interim assistant

St Mirren Football Club can today announce that Craig McLeish will continue to lead the club as interim manager until the end of the season.

Craig, alongside Jamie Langfield, Allan McManus and Marc Kelly, has impressed since taking on the interim position earlier this month and led us to a 2-1 victory away to Falkirk prior to the international break.

Following a thorough managerial search, the Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley have concluded that maintaining our current interim coaching team gives us the best possible opportunity of a strong finish to the season.

We are pleased to confirm that former St Mirren player Stuart Taylor has joined the club to strengthen the interim group. Stuart will support Craig, Jamie, Allan and Marc as part of our coaching team until the end of the season.

Stuart began his playing career at Saints and subsequently made 90 appearances for the Buddies during a six-year stay at the club. Since retiring as a player in 2009, the 51-year-old has enjoyed an extensive coaching career, working alongside Paul Lambert at Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Stoke City and Ipswich Town.

Most recently, Stuart was assistant to Tony Docherty at Dundee where they secured a top six finish in their first season in charge, before retaining the Dark Blues’ place in the William Hill Premiership last season.

Interim manager Craig McLeish told stmirren.com: “I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to lead the group for the rest of the season.

"I think we've made a positive impact on the group and I'm grateful to Keith and the board for giving me the opportunity to continue that and to help try to pull us out of the situation that we're in.

We've got a lot of big games to look forward to, including the cup semi-final, and I can't wait to take part in that opportunity as well.

Craig McLeish Post-Falkirk

On the appointment of Stuart as interim assistant, Craig added: "We spoke to a number of different people and Stuart ticked all the boxes with his level of experience.

"He’s been down in the English Premier League, has managed himself, is very good on the grass and on the coaching pitch, and is ultimately a really good person and good about the place.

"Everyone I spoke to spoke really highly of him. We had a really good conversation on the phone along with Keith and he was so enthusiastic about it and excited about the opportunity from his point of view.

"We'll get back to work again on Monday, preparing for the Aberdeen game. We've got lots of big moments coming up and we just have to focus on our day-to-day work and keep preparing the team as best we possibly can."

New interim assistant Stuart Taylor said: "I'm delighted to be back at the football club.

"I started my playing career her"e when I left school, so it's a club that means a lot to me. It has real passionate supporters that follow the club week in week out, so I'm looking forward to getting back in there on matchdays and being part of that atmosphere.

"We’ve got a strong squad of players at this moment in time, so looking to have a really fantastic end to the season and I’m looking forward to working with the lads.

I'm really looking forward to working with the staff also. I'm quite sure we'll bang our heads together and have loads of conversations about the best way to go and win games and get the right performances.

It’s a massive push from now until the end of the season. Players, supporters, staff all in it together and looking to go and get and win as many games as possible."

St Mirren Chairman John Needham added: "I’m absolutely delighted we’ve reached agreement with Craig, Jamie, Allan and Marc to lead us through these vital league and cup games in the coming weeks. It’s also great to welcome Stuart back to the club. I’m sure his experience will prove invaluable.

"As a Board, along with Keith, we took time to assess all of the options available. In particular we looked at the how the players have reacted in the past two games and how Craig has impressed as interim manager.

I’d ask our fans to get right behind the interim management team and the players for the remaining games of the season. Their support will be crucial in helping us move up the league and as we attempt to get to another cup final."

St Mirren Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley said: "I’m delighted that, following a thorough and considered process, it was the unanimous decision of myself and the Board to appoint Craig to lead the team through to the end of the season.

Craig has shown real leadership in recent weeks, and with the support of Jamie, Allan, Marc and our new arrival Stuart, we have a strong and experienced group in place to drive the team forward.

"Stuart brings with him a wealth of coaching experience as well as excellent knowledge of the Scottish Premiership and what is required between now and the end of the season.

"We’ll give Craig, the coaching staff and the players our full backing as we aim to finish the league campaign strongly and look forward to returning to Hampden as we push to reach another national cup final.”

SMDSA and I Am Me Scotland drop-in session

St Mirren Football Club is proud to announce significant progress in its ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Working in partnership with local charity I Am Me Scotland, the club is set to become the first officially recognised Disability Friendly football club in the country.

This achievement follows an independent accessibility review carried out with invaluable support from St Mirren fans. The review identified a number of improvements to enhance access and inclusion across the club. Since then, I Am Me Scotland has continued to support the newly formed St Mirren Disabled Supporters Association (SMDSA) as members begin implementing the report’s recommendations.

As part of this collaborative approach, SMDSA and I Am Me Scotland will host bi‑monthly drop‑in sessions at The SMiSA Stadium, offering all supporters the chance to share ideas and play an active role in shaping accessibility across the club.

The first session will take place on Friday 27th March at 1pm, with a focus on developing a new Guide Dog and Assistance Dog Policy for use across the stadium. Members of the SMDSA Board will also introduce their roles, gather feedback on priorities for future meetings, and welcome disabled supporters interested in joining and strengthening the group’s voice within St Mirren FC.

St Mirren FC remains committed to ensuring every supporter has the opportunity to help make the club as accessible, inclusive, and welcoming as possible.

Supporters wishing to attend the drop‑in session are invited to contact the I Am Me Scotland team at: iamme@renfrewshire.gov.uk
