St Mirren v Livingston: safety push meets survival bid | OneFootball

St Mirren host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership's Relegation group on Saturday, 25 April 2026 at The SMISA Stadium, with the hosts looking for breathing space and the visitors fighting to cut the gap at the bottom.

These sides have been hard to separate this season. Both league meetings finished 1-1, and their Scottish Cup tie also ended level before penalties decided it.

Recent form points to a tight contest. St Mirren beat Aberdeen and Falkirk in March but lost to Rangers and twice to Celtic in April. Livingston are winless in five league games, drawing with Hibernian, Hearts and St Mirren, and losing at Kilmarnock and Dundee United.

The hosts may lean on width and aerial threat. St Mirren have delivered 515 open-play crosses with 22.14% accuracy and scored 11 headed goals this league season, while creators Declan John and Scott Tanser have five and four assists respectively. Livingston's back line has conceded 66 league goals and kept just two clean sheets, but they carry threats of their own: Lewis Smith has seven league goals, Jeremy Bokila has five, and the visitors have converted five of six penalties at an 83.3% clip.

A home win would move St Mirren to 33 points and could strengthen their cushion above the play-off and automatic drop places. Victory for Livingston would lift them to 19 points and may tighten the picture at the bottom of the group.
