Six goals and not a dull minute of it at The SMISA Stadium, where St Mirren and Motherwell shared the points in a wild 3-3 draw on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The home side raced into control and led 3-2 at the break, with the game swinging back and forth so often that nobody in the ground could have called the winner at half-time. Motherwell clearly had other ideas after the restart though, and got themselves back on level terms to salvage a point from a match that had looked to be slipping away from them. For St Mirren, there will be a nagging sense that three points went begging after holding the lead going into the second half. Motherwell, on the other hand, will take real encouragement from the fight they showed to come from behind and force a share of the spoils. Neither defence will look back on this one with much pride, but for anyone who made the trip to the SMISA Stadium, it was the kind of end-to-end afternoon that keeps you coming back.
