St Mirren ended a five-match losing streak with a 2-1 home win over Dundee on 24 October 2026, getting the sort of result their manager said the group probably needed. In wintry conditions, Calvin Ramsay put St Mirren ahead in the 20th minute before Eseosa Sule made it 2-0 early in the second half.
It was a welcome change in momentum for St Mirren after five consecutive defeats, and the performance offered a clearer picture of a team that had been searching for something to build on. The early pressure was there too, with Ismeal Kabia threatening before Ramsay opened the scoring.
How St Mirren got the result
Ramsay's goal in the 20th minute gave St Mirren an early advantage, and Sule doubled the lead in the 57th minute. Dundee pulled one back through Bradley Fink in the 73rd minute, but St Mirren were able to see the match out and secure their first win in six games.
Ramsay's contribution was notable after joining St Mirren on loan in the summer of 2026. The wing-back provided the opening goal in a match that had the potential to become tense if Dundee found an equaliser sooner, but St Mirren controlled enough of the contest to protect the lead.
What it means going forward
After such a difficult run, the result should give St Mirren a lift. Their manager said the group had probably needed a result like this, and also pointed to the importance of confidence and belief after a poor spell. He added that St Mirren showed bravery in possession in the first half, even if they did not ask enough questions of Dundee defensively.
For St Mirren, the challenge now is turning one much-needed home win into a more sustained run of form. The performance was not perfect, but ending a five-game losing streak was the priority, and they did exactly that.
