was a 3-2 win away to Europa Conference League participants Hibernian that has got St Mirren’s season off to a flyer.
Being quick out of the blocks saw them lead 2-0 at half time, with Mark O’Hara the influential man with a goal and an assist.
Hibs rallied to peg them back at 2-2, but a last-minute winner from substitute Alex Grieve earned them all three points on the opening day.
After a defeat to Montrose in their first game of the League Cup, St Mirren have now won four in a row, getting off to a winning start in the league as well as sealing a place in the knockout round of the cup.
The next round comes in a week’s time, so manager Stephen Robinson will hope his side can make it two wins from two before the league takes a brief break to accommodate for the cup.
It has been a significant upturn in form for the Saints, after failing to win any of their final seven games of last season when they were the league’s surprise Championship Group progressor.
Newly-promoted Dundee returned to the top flight with a draw against Motherwell last weekend.

It was last season’s Player of the Season Lyall Cameron who scored the second-half equaliser as Dundee wasted no time in getting off the mark.
Any points are welcomed especially at this early stage, as Dundee have finished bottom in their last two campaigns at this level.
Tony Docherty’s men are favourites to do so again too, despite coming up as the winners of the Championship last season.
Another result will be much welcome considering Dundee will now not play for two weeks, after their exit in the League Cup group stage earlier in the summer.
