St Mirren made the trip to Rugby Park on Wednesday, 2 September 2026 and left with all three points after a 0-1 win over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. The visitors had the better of things early doors and got the goal that mattered before the break, going in at half-time already 0-1 up. Kilmarnock huffed and puffed after the restart but couldn't find a way through, and there was a real sense of frustration around the home support as the game wore on without an equaliser materialising. It's a result that will sting for Kilmarnock, who now have to dust themselves down and go again on home soil having failed to make their advantage count. For St Mirren, it's the kind of away day that can shape a season - backing up their defensive discipline with just enough quality up top to make it count. Not a classic by any means, but three points on the road in this league are never to be sniffed at.
