St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals and not a dull minute of it at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026, as St Mirren and Motherwell shared the points in a 3-3 draw that had everything but a winner. The home side raced into the game with real purpose and led 3-2 at the break, leaving fans wondering if Motherwell had any way back into it. They did. A much tighter second half saw the visitors find their footing, cancel out the deficit and force a share of the spoils that, on the balance of the afternoon, felt about right. For St Mirren, there will be some frustration at not holding on after leading at half-time, but plenty of encouragement in how they matched Motherwell goal for goal in an open, end-to-end contest. Motherwell, for their part, showed real character to come from behind twice and leave with something. Neither side moves far in the table off the back of this one, but both will fancy they could have won it, and both will know they could easily have lost it too.
