Martindale's men have plodded along and fought hard to stay in games but unfortunately defensively concede quite easily on the flip side their attacking form has produced goals this season but with no win on the end of it.

St Mirren had the cup glory in December and created history however since then have dipped in form drastically from the build up to that cup win, they’ll want more joy going into this cup tie by a win which is achievable to potentially go on another run.
