Tuesday evening saw St Mirren secure a big 1-0 victory over Aberdeen. It was a win, their third in a row in all competitions after 11 games without one, which lifted them to within three points of top six. It was only a few weeks ago when the Buddies were looking over their shoulder.
They are just behind the Dons and Dundee United.
As for Aberdeen, it was a hugely disappointing night in Paisley. Fans voiced their disapproval of the performance with Stephen Glass’ men not looking like they were going to trouble the St Mirren backline. It was a missed opportunity. Three points would have lifted the team, for 24 hours at least, int fourth place.
Hibs now travel to Motherwell knowing they can move into the spot with a win, while the Steelmen will see an opportunity to consolidate their position in the Premiership table this evening. That is one of a few big games. Hearts host Celtic in a tasty looking fixture at Tynecastle, a game which can be watched live on Sky Sports.
However, the biggest match perhaps comes from McDiarmid Park where St Johnstone host relegation rivals Dundee. Just two points separate the sides at the bottom of the table. The teams have not won in the league for a combined 14 matches.
