We’ll walk a Mirren Mile for one of your goals ... oooh Buddies!
Tomorrow looks set to be a celebration of St Mirren Football Club.
For the Mirren Mile will be officially unveiled while a family zone will be the biggest ever ahead of the huge Premiership clash with third-placed Hearts at the SMiSA.
Excitement is building across Paisley and Renfrewshire with Saints on the brink of clinching back-to-back top-half finishes.
A victory over the Jambos will seal the deal but a number of permutations can see Stephen Robinson’s men over the line.
Before kick-off, however, the Buddies will mark 147 years of history while also looking ahead to the future.
The Mirren Mile project – a fan-driven initiative to decorate Greenhill Road and the approaches to the SMiSA – raised almost £9,500 with lampposts proudly showing significant moments in
Saints’long history.

Marching On were behind the project which received planning permission from Renfrewshire Council.
Fans are being encouraged to get along early and view the new banners which celebrate, among other milestones, Saints’ Scottish Cup and League Cup triumphs.
Meanwhile, the FamZone will be open from 12noon tomorrow and is accessible via the Drums Avenue entrance.
Taking place behind the Tony Fitzpatrick Stand, there will be food trucks, alcohol on sale until 1.30pm, live music from PG Ciarletta and a great selection of inflatables including a giant human table football pitch, a 50ft assault course, bouncy castle and more.
Saints chief operating officer Keith Lasley said:“Building on the brilliant work of Colin Bright and our SLO [supporter liaison officer] team over the past few years, we’re hugely excited to offer this expanded pre-match entertainment in association with The Big Feed ahead of Saturday’s match. “Community and family engagement plays a huge part in
our strategy to grow the club.”
