Overview
- Marcus Fraser scored a 64th-minute volley in the second leg to give St Mirren a 1-0 win that completed a 2-1 aggregate play-off victory over Partick Thistle and kept the club in the Premiership.
- The goal capped a season that also included St Mirren’s League Cup triumph in December and followed Fraser’s recovery from a broken collar bone to play the final matches.
- Fraser said the win was 'absolutely massive,' framed it as one of his biggest goals, and said keeping the club up helped protect jobs behind the scenes.
- Interim boss Craig McLeish, who has said he wants the job full time, received public backing from players after the match and now faces a decision by the board over permanent appointment.
- The result reduces immediate financial and staffing risk for the club heading into the summer, but several players remain in limbo over contracts and squad changes are expected.
