St Mirren Park

On January 3, 2009, St Mirren played their last match at Love Street - their home for more than a century. A crowd of 10,189 turned up for an emotional occasion which ended in a 0-0 draw against Motherwell.

Exactly four weeks later, Saints turned out at the new St Mirren Park on Greenhill Road for the first time and drew 1-1 with Kilmarnock. Kevin Kyle opened the scoring but Dennis Wyness made history as the first St Mirren scorer at the new ground with a late leveller.

The impressive stadium has room for 8,000 fans in four all-seater stands.

Directions to St Mirren Park

The Buddies from Paisley were formed in 1877 and can claim to be one of the founder members of league football in 1890.

The club's ground, St Mirren Park, held a record attendance of 47,438 when the Saints played Celtic in 1925. St Mirren have won the Scottish Cup three times - 1926, 1959 and 1987.

Their biggest win also came in this competition in 1960, with a 15-0 victory over Glasgow University.

The club record of 45 league goals in a season was set by Dunky Walker in 1921/22, while their most recent success came in 2005/06 when the First Division title brought a return to the top flight.
