Marcus Fraser aiming to avenge Motherwell defeat and talks up St Mirren home crowd impact

St Mirren posted two of their biggest attendances of the season over the past 10 days – pushing their home crowds against Rangers and Celtic down to mid-table as far as their gate receipts go.

St Mirren's incredible unbeaten home run came to a painful end as Elie Youan's second-half strike saw them suffer their first defeat on home soil since July.

Stephen Robinson is a firm believer that confidence is the key to unlocking any striker’s full potential.

Teenager Thierry Small listened to his gut when he decided to swap St Mary’s for St Mirren this week.

Curtis Main is relieved he’s not involved in as many “ding dongs” with Stephen Robinson now he’s worked his way firmly into the St Mirren manager’s good books.

St Mirren have confirmed the loan signing of former Celtic, Hearts and Motherwell striker Tony Watt.

Focused Tony Watt insists he only had eyes for St Mirren once he was offered the chance to rekindle his tough love affair with Stephen Robinson.

The Buddies have bolstered their defence after picking up Southampton youngster Thierry Small on loan until the end of the season.

St Mirren squeezed Championship Dundee on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes to get through to fifth round of the Scottish Cup. The opening stages of this Paisley clash was largely disrupted by a serious injury picked up by Dundee man Tyler French, who was stretchered off after a lengthy delay for treatment, tagging an extra EIGHT minutes onto the first half. To be fair the Taysiders they didn’t let the early setback affect them too much, as they knocked the ball around and quite clearly looked to use the threat of Paul McMullan in behind, while the hosts didn’t create anything of note. Cammy Kerr then followed French off injured before Lyall Cameron must have thought he’d given his side a half time lead but for a great Trevor Carson save. An impatient Stephen Robinson made a double sub at half time with Declan Gallagher and Jonah Ayunga were replaced by Alex Greive and Ethan Erhahon, who were followed on by Greg Kiltie for Keanu Baccus ten minutes later, with 20 minutes remaining Cameron had another chance saved. Nothing could separate the sides after 90 minutes, so the game went to extra time. Even after an extra 30 minutes, the sides were deadlocked before the Buddies held their nerve to win on penalties. Here's three talking points.

Stephen Robinson insists he’s desperate to get back to Hampden and experience a cup final again just as much as the Saints fans.

St Mirren skipper Joe Shaughnessy insists he was never going to rock the boat during his lengthy spell watching from the dugout.
