A St Mirren fan’s apparent change of heart unfolded at SMiSA Stadium when a clash with Dundee supporters was narrowly avoided.
The Scottish Premiership encounter, eventually won 2-0 by St Mirren, faced a half-hour delay due to traffic issues with the Dundee team bus.
However, tensions escalated during the wait, leading to a confrontation between home and away fans.
Delayed Kickoff and Rising Tensions:
The kickoff delay, caused by the late arrival of the Dundee team bus, created a charged atmosphere among fans who learned about the delay just 15 minutes before the scheduled start.
As the stadium fell silent, a group of St Mirren supporters surged towards the front of one stand, expressing frustration, presumably directed at the visiting fans.

The delay and uncertainty set the stage for rising tensions.
The delayed kickoff and the fans’ frustration add context to the escalating situation, emphasizing the charged atmosphere preceding the incident.
Confrontation Over Stolen Flag:
Reports suggest that the source of anger among St Mirren fans stemmed from the alleged theft of a club flag by Dundee supporters before the match.
Video footage from the away end revealed approximately 20 home fans attempting to approach the away supporters, prompting a response from stewards.
While most fans were intercepted, one supporter managed to evade stewards momentarily, only to change course and retreat into the stands voluntarily.

Stewards’ Intervention and Lone Retreat:
Stewards played a crucial role in preventing a larger-scale confrontation, with four of them intercepting the approaching St Mirren fans.
While a couple managed to breach the barrier, one fan, with a covered face, momentarily outpaced stewards.
However, faced with the prospect of a lone confrontation, the fan turned around and retreated into the stands voluntarily.
The incident resulted in mocking from the away fans, adding a layer of irony.
