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.

    BY RAIL

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. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Up Next: St Mirren v Celtic (22nd Nov)

It's Saturday night under the lights as St Mirren host Celtic in the William Hill Premiership this weekend.

Saints return from the final international break of the year and begin a busy winter period at home to champions Celtic on Saturday evening. 

Match Details

St Mirren v Celtic
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 22nd November 2025
Kick-off: 8pm 
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium
Live on Sky Sports

Tickets

This match is included in the season ticket. As is standard for matches against Celtic and Rangers, additional tickets are only available to season ticket holders from this season and last season online using the email address they used when buying their season ticket.

Non-season ticket holders that have purchased tickets for (and subsequently attended) at least two home league matches (excluding v Celtic or Rangers) at The SMiSA Stadium this season can only purchase directly at the St Mirren Ticket Office or by calling the Ticket Office on 0141-840-6130.

St Mirren Football Club reserve the right to cancel any tickets it feels have been purchased for or by away supporters with no refund. Away end tickets are sold directly by Celtic.

Form

Saints sit in ninth place in the William Hill Premiership with 10 points from our opening 11 league matches. Prior to the international break, the Buddies were beaten 3-0 by Hibernian at The SMiSA Stadium. Our last league victory came at The SMiSA Stadium at the end of September when Killian Phillips' goal gave us a 1-0 win over Dundee. 

Celtic, under the interim charge of Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney, have won their last two league matches, defeating both Falkirk and Kilmarnock at Celtic Park by 4-0 scorelines to close the gap on league leaders Hearts to seven points with a game in hand.

The Hoops have lost their last three away matches in all competitions with defeats at Midtjylland (1-3), Hearts (1-3) and Dundee (0-2). 

The Buddies were agonisingly close to taking a point at Celtic Park on the opening day of the season. A late deflected strike from Luke McCowan saw Celtic win 1-0 at Parkhead in August. The Buddies were also denied a famous victory at Celtic Park at the end of last season. Jonah Ayunga had given Stephen Robinson's men the lead early in the second-half, but an injury-time strike from James Forrest saw the hosts snatch a share of the spoils.

Celtic were victorious on their last visit to The SMiSA Stadium, but it came after a controversial end to the match. The Buddies twice fought back to draw level in the match with Declan John and Killian Phillips scoring. Celtic led 3-2 heading into the final minutes of the game and Saints were denied what appeared to be a stonewall penalty after a foul on Roland Idowu in the box. The visitors would then net two late goals to win 5-2. 

Our last win over Celtic came in September 2022 when goals from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga saw us win 2-0 and end Celtic's 38 game unbeaten league run.

St Mirren Accessibility Report 2025

For the past few months, St Mirren Football Club has been working with the multi-award winning I Am Me Scotland, a local independent disability charity, who have undertaken research to assess and review our accessibility within the club in line with our ambition to become Scotland's first Disability Friendly stadium.

I Am Me Scotland carried out an independent review of ticketing and accessibility within The SMiSA Stadium, with the aim of better supporting disabled supporters and fostering a culture where everyone feels valued and included. 

As part of this review, I Am Me Scotland hosted in-person workshops at The SMiSA Stadium, for supporters, as well as conducting 'mystery shopper' exercises, these were followed by a feedback session, ensuring participating supporters were included in the whole process.

We can now report the findings which can be read HERE.
