Season ticket holders haven't seen too many victories this season, with St. Mirren languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Ross County will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
