16/02/2025 – HIBS (H)

A hard fought point against the form team in the league, a shut out, and back in the top 6 with seven games to play until the split. It sounds good, and not the worst day we’ve had this season by any means, however we were still left with a feeling of disappointment after another […]

After our last match at home, against Dundee Utd, we wrote that it was becoming like “Groundhog Day” watching Saints at home this season, with the concession of another late goal from a set piece leading to defeat. When this happened yet again on Saturday, our immediate thought was this is now turning into a […]

25/01/2025 – ABERDEEN (A)

A very powerful storm badly hit Aberdeen at the weekend. It wasn’t the dreaded Éowyn, which caused a lot of damage further south on Friday, but happened the following day when St. Mirren arrived in town. The Dons, of course, hadn’t won a league match since we ended their very impressive start to the season […]

It hasn’t been the most inspiring start to the New Year we admit, but it can only get better! Two matches played, no points picked up, no goals scored, and the league table now looks like the tightest in living memory, with only 11 points separating Dundee Utd in third place and Hearts in second […]

02/01/2025 – KILMARNOCK (A)

The new year is not even 3 days old yet, and we have already completed the most difficult task we will probably be asked in all of 2025; write something positive about the St. Mirren match yesterday. There’s no point in pretending otherwise, it was a pretty awful day for Saints, played on a beautiful […]

29/12/2024 – DUNDEE (H)

We can’t win them all. As disappointing as this defeat was, we had to remind ourselves during the post match debrief that we have a small squad hampered further by injury and suspension, and 3 games in just 8 days simply took its toll. The effort required to beat Ross County with 10 men for […]

Merry Christmas! Winning against any club always gives us at Consilium immense happiness, but beating certain teams always adds to enjoyment and there is little doubt (in our humble opinion) that the victory on Boxing Day was more enjoyable to our support than the average win. Boxing Day, is of course St. Stephen’s Day in […]

21/12/2024 – ROSS COUNTY (A)

What a day! Football can be strange at times. We can’t think of any other reason that would motivate us to get out of our beds at 7am on a grim Saturday winters morning and make a 200 mile journey north, to a place we knew the weather was going to be much worse, with […]

14/12/2024 – ST. JOHNSTONE (A)

“Winners never quit and quitters never win” Not the words of our CEO Paul McGrath, but those of Vincent Lombardi. The American was wise enough to say something so profound it is timeless and covers everything in life, and it sums up Saturday in Perth for St. Mirren perfectly. We admit it, after St. Johnstone […]

07/12/2024 – MOTHERWELL (H)

There’s no point in trying to dress it up, the game on Saturday was dismal. Although we started fairly brightly, our failure to score during this period, like the previous week against Dundee Utd, ultimately came back to haunt us, and this would be our Achilles heel this campaign so far, if it wasn’t for […]
