St Mirren Stun St Johnstone | Glasgow News

St. Mirren powered to a gritty 1-0 win over St. Johnstone to open their Premiership campaign with two victories in a row, thanks to Killian Phillips’ cool penalty in the second half. Samuel Ramos nearly gave them an early lead with a header off the crossbar, while St. Johnstone’s golden chance came when Jamie Gullan’s penalty was saved by keeper Jacob Chapman. Despite windy conditions and a tough pitch, St. Mirren’s resilience and clinical finishing proved decisive. The win lifts them to the top of the table and eases relegation fears after last season’s struggles — especially with new signings settling in. St. Johnstone, meanwhile, showed grit but lacked that final touch, particularly missing a penalty and seeing Cheick Diabate hit the post. They’ll look to bounce back against Hearts, while St. Mirren face a stern test against Rangers in the cup next weekend.
