Williamsburgh Primary School were the latest Paisley Primary School to receive a visit from St Mirren with Tony Watt and Thierry Small visiting pupils ahead of our cinch Premiership match at home to Ross County.

After a day of footballing coaching from our Street Stuff coaches, the Saints loanees took part in a Q&A with pupils from all year groups and got the chance to meet a number of young St Mirren supporters who came dressed for the occasion. 

Pupils received 30 tickets for this weekend's match and we look forward to welcoming them to the SMiSA Stadium on Saturday. We thank all at Williamsburgh for their hospitality. 

Primary school visits are a vital part of our ongoing community engagement efforts with the club arranging more player visits to local schools as well as offering additional match day tickets for other matches throughout the season.

If your school would be interested in a visit by our first-team players then please contact info@stmirren.com.

Visitor Information

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Dylan Reid's move to English Premier League Crystal Palace has now been finalised. 

With his contract at Saints due to expire in the summer, the 17-year-old has moved to the Eagles on a three-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee with significant add-ons and sell-on.

A product of our Youth Academy, Dylan became the youngest ever player for St Mirren when he made his first-team debut at just 16 years and five days old in a cinch Premiership match away to Rangers in March 2021. It was an appearance which also saw Dylan become the youngest ever player to play in the SPFL Premiership. 

He subsequently made a further seven appearances for the first-team with his last coming against Hearts at Tynecastle in January.

Manager Stephen Robinson said: "Dylan is a kid with great potential and someone who I would have liked to have worked with more, but it was a very good deal for the football club and an ongoing deal that could rise.

It’s huge credit to the Academy and Allan McManus and his staff. We’re producing good players and that’s the lifeblood of the football club – bringing in players, developing them and selling them.

"Clubs in the English Premier League are paying for potential now and he has that. Crystal Palace have conducted themselves very well throughout the transfer as well which has to be credited."

We thank Dylan for his time at St Mirren and wish him the very best of luck in his future career. 

Saints are straight back to it on Saturday with Ross County the visitors to the SMiSA Stadium. 

The Buddies go into Saturday's match following a narrow loss to Motherwell at Fir Park on Wednesday night. Two early Motherwell goals gave St Mirren too much to do despite Ryan Strain pulling a goal back. Stephen Robinson's side still sit in sixth place in the cinch Premiership following Wednesday night's match. 

Ross County are in 11th place - one point ahead of bottom side Dundee United. Malky Mackay's side weren't in action at the weekend having been knocked out the Scottish Cup at the Fourth Round stage.

The Staggies have won one (3-0 v Kilmarnock), drawn one (1-1 v Hibernian) and lost one (1-2 v Rangers) of their last three league matches.

Previous

A stunning Richard Tait goal was enough to give St Mirren a 1-0 win over Ross County when the Staggies visited the SMiSA Stadium in August. 

County came on top by the odd goal in five when we last faced them at the Global Energy Stadium in November. Goals from Ryan Strain and Mark O'Hara had us 2-1 ahead at the break, but two second-half goals saw the Staggies win 3-2. 

Saints are unbeaten in five against Ross County at the SMiSA Stadium - a run that goes back to 2015.

The officials

The referee on Saturday is Graham Grainger. He'll be assisted by Alan Mulvanny and Colin Drummond. Greg Aitken is the Fourth Official.

Gavin Duncan is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and he'll be assisted by Frank Connor. 

The manager said Saints didn't do what they are good at and admitted he was disappointed with the performance and result against Motherwell.

St Mirren were beaten by Motherwell at Fir Park after a quick start from the hosts gave the Buddies too much to do to take anything from the game. 

Stephen Robinson made one change from the side that lost to Celtic in the Scottish Cup on Saturday with Tony Watt making his first Saints start in place of the injured Alex Greive. Motherwell were led by interim manager Stuart Kettlewell following the sacking of Steven Hammell at the weekend. 

The home side took an early lead when Kevin Van Veen opened the scoring after just eight minutes. Blair Spittal slid the ball through with the Motherwell forward beating Richard Taylor to it and holding off the defender to slide beyond Trevor Carson. 

Saints fell two behind a little over 10 minutes later to a sensational Max Johnston effort. The Motherwell winger got on to a ball over the top and fired over Carson into the top corner from a tight angle to double the Steelmen's lead.

But St Mirren did pull a goal back on 24 minutes when Strain netted his third goal of the season. Watt did well down the left-hand side and cut the ball back into the area where it looked like Keanu Baccus would knock home. He fluffed his lines but it fell invitingly for his countryman Strain who reduced the deficit. Strain wasn't far away from drawing us level on 33 minutes when he volleyed wide from 20 yards.

Saints knew the next goal would be vital and started the second-half quickly with Main blasting over from a tight angle just 20 seconds after the restart. Nine minutes later Watt saw an effort deflected over after a good bit of play down the right-hand side. 

Stephen Robinson made a change on 57 minutes with Alex Gogic making way for Greg Kiltie as we looked for a way back into the match. Saints dominated the possession but were limited to strikes from 20 yards from Strain and O'Hara - both of which were gathered with ease by Liam Kelly. Leiws Jamieson and Ryan Flynn then entered the fray as we headed into the final 10 minutes. 

Motherwell passed up a big chance to put the game beyond doubt with a little over five minutes remaining when their substitute Jack Aitchison fired wide from close-range. It almost proved costly as Saints went straight up the park and had the ball in the net but referee John Beaton had blown for a foul which saw us end the night in defeat.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within St Mirren Football Club. We are looking for a new Head of Academy Sports Science, Strength and Conditioning to join our ambitious team.

Reporting to Academy Director, Allan McManus, your role will see you develop and implement a Football Science/Strength and Conditioning strategy in line with Club objectives to deliver a best-in-class Football Science, Strength and Conditioning operation to Youth Academy football squads.

The role will be on a full-time permanent basis. To download the job description please click HERE.

If you’re interested in this exciting & challenging role please send an up-to-date copy of your CV and cover letter to: keith.lasley@stmirren.com by Friday 24th February 2023. 

Interviews will be held at a date to be confirmed and only those invited to interview will receive return notification from us.

Supporter safety is a key priority for all clubs and we at St Mirren Football Club are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that the match day experience is safe and enjoyable.

One of the most dangerous things we have to deal with is pyrotechnic articles such as smoke bombs and flares in the stadium and we'd ask that you assist us to look after you by not bringing such articles with you to any matches home or away. These articles can cause severe burns, damage to hearing or breathing difficulties and the hazardous chemical used is known to be carcinogenic and their use is especially distressing for groups such as small children and those who can't easily move away when pyrotechnics are activated.

Experience shows that when a pyrotechnic is activated in a crowd there is often a movement away from the immediate area which can cause panic and disorientation and which creates a risk of slips and trips or crushing for those nearby.

Please be in no doubt that these articles are unpleasant and potentially life-threatening to be around - they are also illegal at football matches - and being caught with them will result in exclusion from The SMISA Stadium and a possible criminal conviction as well as potential financial penalties for the club.

St Mirren return to cinch Premiership action with a midweek trip to Fir Park to face Motherwell.

It's a rearranged fixture with the original - due to take place in December - having been postponed due to extensive damage and flooding at Fir Park.

Saints exited the Scottish Cup on Saturday with a loss at Celtic, but the margin of defeat was harsh on Stephen Robinson's men with Celtic scoring four goals after Richard Taylor was sent off for the Buddies. 

Motherwell also dropped out of the cup with a 3-1 defeat to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday. That result saw the Steelmen part ways with manager Steven Hammell and assistant Brian Kerr. Motherwell Lead Development coach Stuart Kettlewell will take interim charge of the side. 

St Mirren are in sixth place in the cinch Premiership having won two of our last three league matches and would move up to fourth with a win on Wednesday night.

Motherwell have lost their last three league matches but three points on Wednesday would see the Steelmen into ninth place.

The two meetings between the sides this season both came at the SMiSA Stadium with each side boasting a win apiece. 

Motherwell visited the SMiSA Stadium just over two weeks ago with Curtis Main scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win for Saints. 

1-0 was also the scoreline when Motherwell defeated St Mirren in July when Kevin Van Veen netted from the penalty spot. 

Our last win at Fir Park was in December 2020 when Jamie McGrath scored in a 1-0 victory for the Buddies.
