Struggling St. Mirren will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Aberdeen in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
For St. Mirren relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Aberdeen are staying put at 4th place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
