Supporter Information

Fan Ownership Day

It’s Fan Ownership Day - a celebration of how far we’ve come since becoming majority fan-owned in 2021, and a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together in the future.

Thanks to the incredible backing of supporters through SMiSA, St Mirren is proudly majority-owned by its fans, and this weekend is all about celebrating that shared success and inspiring more Buddies to Be in that Number.

Fan Ownership Day shines a spotlight on the role supporters play in shaping the future of our club. Through SMiSA’s Build the Buds campaign, over 90% of all SMiSA member subscriptions are invested directly into St Mirren FC and associated organisations - helping strengthen the club on and off the park.

And this Saturday, you’ll see fan ownership brought to life across the entire matchday experience. 

Find out more about what's happening on Fan Ownership Day by clicking HERE.

We will have our usual pre-match and half-time activities with a special three v three Spot the Ball competition at half time where the Junior Buds take on the Junior Steelmen. Good luck the Junior Buds! Bung a Baw will also be taking place.

We have our face painter in the Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand and our online competitions Man of the Match and #Saints1stGoal on X and Facebook.

Travel

Supporters travelling to the match should be aware of ongoing major bridge refurbishment on the M8 at Junction 26 (Hillington Interchange) causing delays. As always, please plan your journey accordingly.

The club would like to remind supporters of parking restrictions in and around The SMiSA Stadium on matchdays. Please click here for the full update.

How to Follow

If you can't make the match on Saturday you can follow the action with updates on our X page.

The match is also being shown live on Premier Sports. 

International subscribers to St Mirren TV can watch the match live on tv.stmirren.com as part of their subscription, while UK based subscribers can listen to live audio commentary.


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.

St Mirren FC x I Am Me Scotland // Accessibility Drop-In

St Mirren FC has been working closely with local charity I Am Me Scotland to become the first officially recognised Disability Friendly club in the country. Following an independent accessibility review carried out with the help of our supporters, the charity has continued to support the newly formed St Mirren Disabled Supporters Association (SMDSA) as they begin implementing the improvements identified in the report.

SMDSA and I Am Me Scotland will host bi‑monthly drop‑in sessions at The SMiSA Stadium, giving all fans the chance to help shape accessibility across the club. The first session will take place on Friday 27th March at 1pm and will focus on developing a new policy for Guide Dogs and Assistance Dogs.

Members of the SMDSA Board will also introduce their roles, gather feedback and suggestions for future meetings, and welcome other disabled supporters who may wish to get involved and strengthen the group’s voice within the club.  If you are unable to attend, but would still like to help shape the guide dog/assistance dog policy, please just email the I Am Me team iamme@renfrewshire.gov.uk.

Our aim is to ensure every supporter has the opportunity to help make St Mirren FC as accessible and inclusive as possible.

If you would like to attend, please contact the I Am Me team at: iamme@renfrewshire.gov.uk

Form

St Mirren were beaten 2-0 by Hibernian at Easter Road at the weekend. That came after a 4-3 loss at Rugby Park against Kilmarnock which saw our five game unbeaten run come to an end. 

Saints were victorious in our previous home match with Miguel Freckleton's goal giving us a 1-0 win over league leaders Hearts at the beginning of February. The Buddies sit in 10th place in the William Hill Premiership, three points ahead of Kilmarnock and a point behind Dundee. 

Motherwell continued their good run of form with a 2-0 victory over Aberdeen at Fir Park on Sunday. They face Aberdeen again tonight (Wednesday 18th February) in the Fifth Round of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Jens Berthel Askou's side are unbeaten in 2026 with their last loss coming away to Rangers in December. The Steelmen sit in fourth place in the William Hill Premiership, five points ahead of Hibernian. 

There have been three meetings between the two sides this season with both teams boasting a win and the other game finishing goalless. Neither side could be separated when Motherwell visited The SMiSA Stadium in August with the game ending 0-0. Saints defeated the Steelmen 4-1 at Hampden Park in the semi-final of the Premier Sports Cup. Mikael Mandron scored a double alongside goals from Dan Nlundulu and Richard King saw us progress to the Final before ultimately winning the competition. Goals from Tawanda Maswanhise and Elliot Watt gave Motherwell a 2-0 win at Fir Park when the sides last met in January.

Saints defeated at Easter Road

St Mirren were beaten 2-0 by Hibernian at Easter Road with goals in either half seeing the home side keep all three points in Leith.

Owen Elding opened the scoring deep in the first-half before substitute Ante Suto added a second on 66 minutes.

Saints made three changes to the side that lost to Kilmarnock on Wednesday night. Conor McMenamin, Jake Young and Dan Nlundulu came in from the start in place of Jayden Richardson, Roland Idowu and Mikael Mandron. 

McMenamin had the game's first opportunity on seven minutes when his effort forced a save from Hibernian goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger. Young's driving run saw him find Killian Phillips with a nice pass around 20 yards from goal. The Irish midfielder fed it wide to McMenamin who came in off the right and tried his luck from a tight angle. Sallinger had to be at full stretch to tip it over the bar. 

The hosts threatened soon after. Declan John made a vital block inside the Saints six-yard box to deny Miguel Chaiwa a free shot on goal before Dane Scarlett headed a Jack Iredale cross into the arms of Shamal George a minute or so later. Chaiwa was involved again on 17 minutes when an attempted Saints clearance fell to the midfielder on the edge of the area. He struck it low and with power but it was straight at George who managed to block before the Buddies defence cleared.

Young forced a big save from Sallinger on 24 minutes after being sent down the left by Miguel Freckleton. The forward did well to turn away from the covering defender in the box before seeing his shot saved by the feet of Sallinger. It wouldn't have stood had he scored though with the offside flag being raised. A minute later the striker sent a snapshot wide from 25 yards as the game hit a lull.

The home side opened the scoring with three minutes of normal time remaining in the first-half. A quick corner was played short to Dan Barlaser who swung a cross in to meet Elding who had peeled away from his marker to head into the far corner of the net.

Stephen Robinson made two changes at the interval with Roland Idowu and Mikael Mandron replacing Jacob Devaney and Young. It was the home side that would almost double their advantage five minutes after the restart. Nicky Cadden managed to get in down the right-hand side. There was suspicions of offside but no flagged was raised. The Hibs winger swung the ball to the back post where it found Felix Passlack unmarked at the back stick. He struck onto the post and it bounced clear to the relief of Saints.

The Buddies were denied the chance to draw level on 55 minutes after a wonderful save from Sallinger. Brilliant pressing from Gogic saw Saints win the ball high up in the Hibs half and Mandron ran on to the loose ball. He drove forward before striking from 20 yards. Sallinger did so well to keep the home side ahead as he got a strong hand to turn it over. 

Saints made another double substitution before the hour mark with the introduction of Mark O'Hara and Jalmaro Calvin in place of Marcus Fraser and Dan Nlundulu.

Hibs made two changes of their own six minutes later when they brought on Martin Boyle and Ante Suto for Scarlett and Elding. It was Suto who would double Hibs' advantage just three minutes after his arrival when he would force home a low cross from Cadden after George couldn't gather.

Stephen Robinson: It needs to step up

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has called on his players to react to Wednesday's defeat to Kilmarnock ahead of a tough trip to Easter Road in the William Hill Premiership.

The Buddies travel through to the capital to face Hibernian following a 4-3 loss at Rugby Park. Wednesday's result saw Kilmarnock - who currently occupy the relegation play-off spot - move to within three points of Saints who remain in ninth. 

While Saturday's match away to European chasing Hibernian will provide a tough challenge for Robinson's men, the manager has encouraged his side to produce the same type of performance that saw us beat league leaders Hearts last week.

"We've shown when we go to places like Hibs that we can produce results," he said. 

We have to produce that same level of commitment and same level of performance. We're in a dogfight with four or five other teams. There's no hiding away from that.

"It needs to now step up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. If you've made a mistake, you react to it. If you've lost a game, you react to it. This group of players have proved they're a good side. They've proved they can win silverware. They've proved they can beat the top teams in the league. It's now time to step up and be counted in these final games.

"We had a poor result on Wednesday night. You concede four goals, really, really disappointing, individuals not doing their job properly. That's a real frustration for us and it's a frustration obviously for the individuals as well.

"We have to be better than that," he continued.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson oversees training

"I believe Hibs are a very good side. I thought they were very good against Hearts in stages. I believe they've recruited really, really well. This is a tough game, one of the toughest games of the season that we go to. We have to produce the performance we've done in the past.

We've shown we're capable of that. We've done that against Hearts. We have to have the same level of performance, the same level of commitment, the same level of desire not to concede goals as we did in that game as opposed to Wednesday night. There has to be a reaction to that.

"Then you hope in the coming weeks we get Mark and we get Keanu back and you get the middle of the spine of your team back again. It's a tough game, but one that if we play at the top of the game, we've proved we can beat anybody in the league."

Jake Young comes back into contention as he returns from suspension, while captain Mark O'Hara will be assessed. The manager says Jonah Ayunga will be unavailable for Saturday's trip to face Hibernian at Easter Road and the game comes too soon for Keanu Baccus.

"Jonah's broke down with a calf injury, we're having to have that scanned," he told the media this morning.

"He's only trained one day fully and then pulled up with his calf, so we have to rule out what that is first and foremost so that's a blow.

"Keanu is training, but not fully. He's got the okay to open his legs and sprint properly, which is a problem with tendon injuries, but this would be his first introduction to training today. The Motherwell game still might come a little bit early for him, but we never know. He's such a fit boy, but certainly this will be too early for him.

"Mark has trained a couple of days, so we'll assess Mark. He's obviously been out a long time, so he wouldn't be somebody that goes straight back into the team. Injury-wise, it's not got much clearer. Jake Young will be available again from suspension, so that gives us a little boost in the forward areas anyway."

Keanu Baccus returned to Saints training

The manager also told of how Malik Dijksteel is set for an extended period on the sidelines. The Dutch winger picked up a groin injury in our Scottish Cup Fifth Round win over Airdrieonians and now looks set for surgery.

"It's really bad news, he's probably out for the season. He's torn his groin off the bone and will likely require surgery. He's seeing the specialist in London."
