Do St Mirren have a set-pieces problem?

St Mirren have conceded the most goals from set-pieces in this season's Scottish Premiership.

Nine of the 17 goals shipped by Craig McLeish's side in their opening nine games have stemmed from dead-ball situations, a 53% ratio.

That tally comprises two penalties, three corners - a joint league high with Kilmarnock - and four indirect free-kicks, which is two more than any other side.

The Saints are also susceptible to an early setback - they have conceded four goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches, which is the most along with Killie.

At the other end, a third of St Mirren's goals - three of nine - have come from set-pieces. Two penalties and an indirect free-kick make up that total, while McLeish's men are one of only three teams to have not scored from a corner.

On that front, the Buddies could do with working on their deliveries. They have the lowest success rate from corners in the division, with just six of 40 finding a team-mate.
