2nd December 2023
McDiarmid Park, Perth
St. Johnstone 1-0 St. Mirren
Kane 90+5
ATT: 2,449
Referee: K Clancy
VAR: A Dallas
• Saints gift the struggling hosts only their third win of the season after late VAR controversy in Perth consigns the visitors to a 6th defeat of the campaign.
• The match is decided five minutes into the advised three minutes of stoppage time following an alleged push in the penalty box Charles Dunne during a rare start for the defender, with VAR confirming the penalty despite strong appeals from the Saints players.
• Zach Hemming saves the resultant penalty from Chris Kane, but the St Johnstone forward scoops in the rebound despite a remarkable attempt by Hemming to turn it over the bar, giving new Perth manager Craig Levein his second win since returning to management.
• This is the only real action Hemming is involved in following a game dominated by the Paisley Saints, who missed multiple relative straightforward chances to win the match.
• Injuries to both wing backs during the game adds to the current woes for Stephen Robinson, with Saints remaining 4th.

ATT: 47,835
Referee: M McDermid
VAR: A Dallas
• A poor performance at Ibrox against an insipid home side leads to another defeat, the 5th in 8 matches after the long unbeaten run at the outset came to an end on the 7th October.
• Rangers on-loan Brighton forward, Abdallah Sima, is the difference between the sides with two goals to sink Saints.
• The crucial opener on the half time whistle follows slack defending from Saints, who had comfortably dealt with the minimal threat posed by Rangers up until that point, who are now managed by trichophobic Belgian, Phillipe Clement.
• 35 year old Ryan Flynn is Saints best performer in his first start of the season, and the latest to play at right wing back following injury to Ryan Strain, with it confirmed the day before the match that the Australian will be out for at least 3 months.
