St Mirren began their Scottish Premiership season on a high note with a 2-0 win at Falkirk, courtesy of Killian Phillips' brace. The Saints, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, dominated the match and should have won by a wider margin. Falkirk, however, had their chances, with Ben Parkinson's goal being disallowed by VAR after 71 minutes.
Phillips sealed the victory for St Mirren with his second goal in the 87th minute, capitalizing on a counter-attack. The win marks a promising start to the season for Craig McLeish's side, who will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches.
