St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren still couldn't hold on. The SMISA Stadium got an early taste of chaos as the hosts raced into a 3-2 lead by half-time, only for Motherwell to drag themselves level after the restart and force a 3-3 draw on Sunday, 30 August 2026. It was the kind of first half that had supporters barely sitting down, with both defences looking shaky and both attacks looking sharp. Motherwell will feel it's two points gained rather than lost, given how far behind they were at the interval. St Mirren, on the other hand, will be frustrated at squandering a two-goal cushion in a game they controlled for large spells. Neither side moves much in the table off the back of this one, but it's the sort of result that will linger in the memory longer than most one-sided wins.

St Mirren and Motherwell drew 3-3 at The SMISA Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. It was an even contest for large parts of the afternoon, with neither team able to take control of the game for long. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
