Saints boss Jim Goodwin has revealed star striker Eamonn Brophy's ankle injury is not as serious as first feared.
The Buddies were left sweating on the results of a scan after the club's top goalscorer so far this season hobbled off the pitch against Motherwell last Tuesday night.
Initially St Mirren feared they might have been without the former Kilmarnock striker for the majority of the rest of the season.
