Manager Stephen Robinson admits injuries are pushing the Saints to the limits after losing two more influential players.
The Buddies have three crucial games to left to try and battle their way to Europe, starting with tomorrow’s daunting trip to Glasgow to face Celtic.
St Mirren will be without New Zealand international Alex Greive and experienced midfielder Ryan Flynn, whose seasons have ended early following ankle knocks.
Robinson says the Paisley club are dangerously down to the bare bones, particularly up front, but that won’t stop him going after all three points against the Hoops on Saturday afternoon.
He told PA Sport: "Alex Greive won't be available - Curtis Main is our only fit senior striker - and neither will Ryan Flynn, both ankle ligament injuries.
"Both will be a struggle to play any more football this season. It is not major injuries but we are probably looking at two to three weeks for both of them.
"It's a blow because Tony (Watt) has already gone back to Dundee United injured and Jonah (Ayunga) is injured so we are quite short up front. But we have two younger players, Lewis Jamieson and Kieran Offord, who will come into contention.
"We will go with a real positive attitude. We went down to 10 men in two games against Celtic. It would be nice to finish with 11 and have a real go.
"It is another huge test but we go there to try and get a result.
"I am not going to sit back and get beat 1-0. If we go and have a right go at it and get beat 3-0 or 4-0 then so be it. We are going with positivity."
