St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals and not a shred of defending to speak of at the SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026, as St Mirren and Motherwell shared the points in a 3-3 draw that had supporters on both sides needing a lie down afterwards. The home side raced into it, building a 3-2 cushion by the break after a first half that had goals flying in from both ends. Motherwell would have felt hard done by given how much they put into that opening 45, but St Mirren looked the sharper side when it mattered most before the interval. The second half told a different story, with Motherwell finding a way back to level things up and deny their hosts what looked at one stage like a comfortable win. Neither keeper will want to watch the highlights back. For St Mirren, it's two points dropped from a winning position; for Motherwell, a battling response that keeps them unbeaten going forward. A result that suits neither side's ambitions, but plenty for both sets of fans to talk about on the way home.
