St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three of them coming before half-time from each side, and St Mirren just about held on for a share of the spoils at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The hosts raced into a strong position and looked to be cruising, but Motherwell kept chipping away and the game finished 3-3, with St Mirren's half-time lead of 3-2 nearly enough to see the job done. Instead the visitors dragged themselves level again after the break, turning what looked like a home win into a share of the points. For St Mirren there will be some frustration at not closing it out after being two goals to the good at one stage, though a point against Motherwell is no disaster this early in the Premiership season. Motherwell, meanwhile, will take real encouragement from the fightback - three goals away from home shows there's plenty of fight in this squad, even if the defending that let them fall behind twice needs sorting out fast.

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.
