St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them before the break, and St Mirren somehow only came away with a draw at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. They led 3-2 at half-time after a wild first 45 minutes that swung back and forth, with Motherwell always finding an answer. The visitors kept coming after the break too, and got the goal their persistence deserved to make it 3-3, a scoreline that just about summed up a genuinely chaotic afternoon in the Scottish Premiership. Neither defence will look back on this one with much pride, but it was the kind of game supporters lap up. St Mirren will feel it's two points lost given how well they started, while Motherwell can take real heart from the way they fought back twice. In a league where fine margins matter, a 3-3 draw like this could end up meaning plenty come the business end of the season.

It finished 3-3 between St Mirren and Motherwell at The SMISA Stadium, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. It was an even contest for large parts of the afternoon, with neither team able to take control of the game for long. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
