Saints are at home again this weekend as focus turns to league action when we play host to Hibernian on Sunday in the William Hill Premiership.
All focus turns to league action following our penalty shoot-out defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Cup on Monday night. Mikael Mandron's first-half goal had Saints deservedly ahead, but a late equaliser saw Hearts take the game to extra-time and penalties where they prevailed 4-2.
With eight games remaining until the split, the Buddies sit in eighth in the William Hill Premiership, just three points behind Hibernian who are in fifth.
Match Details

Kick-off: 2pm
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium
The Opposition
After a difficult start to the season, David Gray's side have hit form over the past two months and are unbeaten in 11 in all competitions. That run has propelled the Hibees into fifth place in the William Hill Premiership where they sit only two points off fourth place Aberdeen.
Hibs have drawn their two previous away matches in the league, being held 1-1 by Ross County and St Johnstone in January.
The Edinburgh side secured their passage into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup with a 1-0 win away to Championship outfit Ayr United on Friday night where Rocky Bushiri's late goal was enough for progression.
St Mirren have come out on top in the two meetings between the two this season. Saints won 3-0 at The SMiSA Stadium on the opening day of the campaign thanks to a goal from Roland Idowu and a brace from Oisin Smyth. Conor McMenamin scored a double also in the meeting at Easter Road as the Buddies won 2-1 in November.
