St Mirren return to cinch Premiership action this weekend as we head into the final five matches of the season.
Saints achieved a first top six finish in the current format after picking up 44 points from the first 33 matches and ensured a highest top-flight finish since 1985. Now focus is on the race for a European spot as the Buddies travel to Easter Road on Saturday sitting level on points with opponents Hibernian.
Hibernian sit in fifth place by virtue of goal difference and a fifth place finish could be enough for a European spot this season if Celtic are to beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup Final.
Both sides will also be aiming to close the gap on fourth place Hearts who are four points ahead.

Previous
In three meetings between the sides this season, St Mirren have won one and lost two.
Keanu Baccus scored the only goal when Saints defeated Hibernian 1-0 on a sunny August afternoon at The SMiSA Stadium.
The Hibees were 3-0 winners when the Buddies visited Easter Road back in October. And Lee Johnson's men took the bragging rights again when the sides faced at The SMiSA Stadium in February with Elie Youan netting a late winner in the last meeting of the two.
Saturday's match comes six years to the day of our famous 1-1 draw with Hibernian at Easter Road with Rory Loy's goal seeing us complete our great escape and ensure our Championship status in 2017.
