STAFF at St Mirren Park are opening for longer in their bid to keep up with demand for tickets for Saturday’s Scottish Cup semi-final clash with Rangers.

There will be extended opening hours at the ticket office at the stadium in Greenhill Road today.

Fans are welcome to go along between 10am and 2pm or between 4pm and 6pm.

St Mirren’s general manager Brian Caldwell said: “We’re hoping that St Mirren fans will be encouraged to turn out in their numbers at Hampden this Saturday after the fantastic 2-0 SPL win over Motherwell at Fir Park last weekend.

“This will be our most important Scottish Cup game in 22 years.

“We want as many fans as possible to turn out and cheer the team on to what we all hope will be a victory.”

The ticket office will again be open from 10am until 2pm and then 4pm until 6pm tomorrow.

And, on Friday, tickets can be bought all the way through from 10am right through to 6pm. There is no limit on how many tickets each St Mirren supporter will be able to buy.
