Robinson faces former team in league opener as fixture list is revealed

St Mirren will open their cinch Premiership season with a home game against Motherwell on Saturday, July 30 as Stephen Robinson faces his former side.

The Paisley club will welcome Motherwell to the SMiSA Stadium for their opening game as the St Mirren manager takes on his old club.

Robinson, who was in charge of Motherwell for three seasons, will look to get one over the North Lanarkshire side and get the Saints off to a winning start.

However, the fixture may be moved to the Sunday if UEFA schedule games for Motherwell in the Europa Conference League Qualifying Round 2.

This is then followed by an away trip to Aberdeen the following weekend - on Saturday 6 - where they will face former manager Jim Goodwin after his summer transfer window at the Aberdeenshire club.

The St Mirren manager will still be looking to add to his squad before the season gets underway after already securing the services of Jonah Ayunga, Trevor Carson, Kevin Baccus and Mark O’Hara, who arrived from Motherwell on a free this summer.

Saints look to complete their opening five fixtures with: Ross County at home on August 13, Dundee United away on August 20 and Hibs at home on August 27.
