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 a three-goal cushion and looked to be cruising, only for Motherwell to claw their way back into it before the break, leaving it 3-2 at half-time and the game very much alive. Whatever was said in the away dressing room worked, because Motherwell came out and got themselves level, cancelling out St Mirren's early dominance completely. For St Mirren, there'll be frustration at squandering such a strong position, having led by three before conceding twice more after the interval. Motherwell, on the other hand, can take real heart from the fightback, showing plenty of resolve to salvage something from a game that looked gone. Neither side moves far in the table off the back of a draw, but both will feel there was more to come from this one.
