St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren looked to have this one won at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. They led 3-2 at half-time after a chaotic opening period, trading blows with a Motherwell side who refused to just sit back and take it. The home crowd would have expected more control after the break, but Motherwell had other ideas and pulled it back to finish 3-3. There's something to take from this for both sides, though neither will be fully satisfied. St Mirren will rue letting a two-goal cushion slip after such a promising first-half showing, while Motherwell can take real heart from the fight they showed to salvage a share of the points on the road. In a league where small margins matter, a 3-3 draw like this could prove significant come the end of the season.
