St Mirren v Kilmarnock: one-point relegation group tussle in Paisley | OneFootball

St Mirren host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership relegation group on Saturday, 9 May 2026 at The SMISA Stadium, with just one point separating them as both aim to climb the mini-table.

Recent meetings have been tight. Kilmarnock edged a seven-goal thriller 4–3 in February, while the last clash in Paisley finished 0–0 in December.

Form favours the visitors. St Mirren have lost four on the spin in all competitions since beating Aberdeen on 4 April. Kilmarnock have picked up two wins in their last five, including a 3–0 victory over Dundee United last time out, alongside a draw with Dundee.

St Mirren have struggled for goals this season with 27, but they deliver plenty of crosses and have scored 11 headers, so set pieces into the box could offer a route forward. Full back Declan John leads their creativity with five league assists. Kilmarnock have 40 league goals and a 48.38% shooting accuracy, with Tyreece John-Jules on eight league goals. At the other end, they've conceded 11 penalties, so discipline in the area may prove a factor.

The stakes are clear. St Mirren sit on 30 points and a win would take them to 33 and above Kilmarnock in the group. Kilmarnock are on 31—victory would lift them to 34 and strengthen their position ahead of the pack in the relegation battle.
