Links Park, Montrose
Montrose 1-0 St Mirren
McAllister 58
ATT: 1,618
Referee: W Collum
VAR: Not used
- Saints League Cup group stage woes against lower league opposition continue with a 1-0 defeat to League One Montrose.
- Competitive debuts for new goalkeeper Zach Hemming, Conor McMenamin and Mikael Mandron. Academy graduate Luke Sutherland would also make his debut from the bench late in the match.
- McMenamin starts his Saints career at left wing back following an injury to Scott Tanser. The forward was signed for £125,000 from Glenavon. Hemming is the new club number one, after Trevor Carson asked for a transfer due to being rested for the final match of the previous season.
- The result is exacerbated by a desperately poor performance.
