Watch highlights from the Scottish Premiership match between St Mirren and Aberdeen.

St Mirren kept their European hopes alive as Mikael Mandron's composed finish earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over Aberdeen at the SMISA Stadium.

The striker, who signed a new contract this week, controlled Mark O'Hara cross on his chest and rifled home the game's only goal after an hour.

Aberdeen started well and Jeppe Okkels had a goal ruled out by VAR, but they faded in the second half as they fell to a first defeat in nine games.

St Mirren could have extended their lead deep into stoppage time as substitute James Scott saw his goalbound shot blocked, but a single goal was enough for Robinson's side.
