St Mirren vs Motherwell

St Mirren and Motherwell served up a proper six-goal thriller at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026, with the home side twice needing to fight back before the points were shared 3-3. It was end-to-end stuff from the off, and remarkably five of the six goals came before the break, with St Mirren edging the first-half shootout 3-2. Motherwell will feel they let two points slip after twice pulling level, only for St Mirren to find a way through again before half-time. The second half couldn't match the chaos of the first, but Motherwell dragged themselves back into it late on to snatch a share of the spoils. For St Mirren, there'll be frustration at not holding onto a two-goal cushion, while Motherwell can take heart from their resilience on the road. A draw feels fair on the balance of a game that had goals, momentum swings and not much in the way of defending from either side.
