The best price on St Mirren to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership is 2/1 with Bet Victor.
Craig McLeish was named the Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month for August 2026 on 8 September 2026.
There is real substance behind this move. St Mirren have made a strong start to the campaign, sitting fifth on the log with 10 points from their opening seven matches, and that early return has convinced the layers to take a fresh look at their season. Craig McLeish, appointed permanent manager on a three-year contract in June 2026 after keeping the club up, picked up the Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month award for August. When a side backs up a good spell of results with recognition for the dugout, the market tends to react, and that is exactly why their price to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership has been cut across the board.
McLeish has quietly built a squad that looks harder to break down than last term, with summer signing Louis Jackson slotting into the back line and giving the defence a more settled look. That defensive solidity is the foundation of the run that has dragged their price in, and it explains why three of six bookmakers moved on them. In a division where the places behind Celtic and Rangers are genuinely up for grabs, a stubborn, well-drilled St Mirren look equipped to hang around the top half, and the shortening price reflects a market that now rates their top-six push as more than a long shot.

Who is favourite to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
Celtic and Rangers are joint favourites at a best price of 1/1000 with William Hill, and there is little argument with that given the Old Firm's stranglehold on the top of the log. Celtic lead the way on 18 points, with Rangers second on 16, and both are as good as certainties to be there when the split comes. Heart of Midlothian, third on 13 points, are next in the pecking order, while Hibernian and the chasing pack fill out the rest of the market. St Mirren, level with fourth-placed Dundee on 10 points, are the seventh-shortest selection in the betting and represent the outsiders with a genuine case.
Celtic – 1/1000 with William Hill
Rangers – 1/1000 with William Hill
Hearts – 1/33 with QuinnBet
Hibernian – 1/2 with Bet Victor

Can St Mirren finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
The market clearly thinks they have got a shout, and the numbers back it up. St Mirren's first game after the September international break sends them to Tynecastle Park to face Heart of Midlothian on 10 October 2026, a proper test against a side directly above them in the race for the top half. Win that and their price could shorten again. McLeish has this group organised and hard to beat, and while Celtic and Rangers will fill two of the top-six berths without fuss, the remaining places are wide open. At a best price of 2/1 with Bet Victor, St Mirren are worth keeping a close eye on.
