*Odds correct as of the time of publication
Team News
Livingston pair Aidan Denholm and Adam Montgomery are missing due to injury and new boss Marvin Bartley may opt to make a number of changes to his side as they bid to end a winless streak that dates back to August.
Falkirk counterpart John McGlynn could name the same side that was beaten by Celtic last time out as they put in a decent display in 2-0 reverse at Parkhead. The Bairns remain without injured trio Ben Parkinson, Ethan Williams and Gary Oliver.
Livingston have a dismal 11 points to show from 24 games this season but four of those points have come from two games against Falkirk and they are rated as 12/5 underdogs to pick up a victory on Wednesday.
Falkirk sit in the top half of the Premiership and they are the 23/20 favourites to win, while the draw is 23/10.
Both teams to score is an 8/11 chance and over 2.5 goals is priced at 1/1.
Falkirk to win @ 23/20
St Mirren were always likely to experience a drop off after winning the Scottish League Cup on December 14, but that victory over Celtic at Hampden Park came in the middle of their five-game unbeaten run.
That ended with a 2-1 defeat at Rangers, but their loss came with caveats.
Marcus Fraser missed a penalty at Ibrox before Mandron got his team on the board, albeit his strike proved too little too late.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Motherwell was more clear-cut, Robinson's side only managing an XG of 0.29 at Fir Park.
Tuesday's match is their third away fixture on the bounce and the Bairns can end their road stint with a victory at Almondvale.
Livi chairman Calvin Ford insists that Martindale has his "full support" and should the club be relegated, the 51-year-old has already shown he can lead them back from the Championship, doing so following their demotion in 2024.
However, after almost five months without a win, it is tough to see where Livi's break will come and St Mirren should take advantage of their lack of confidence.
Robinson's future is also in question following links to the Aberdeen vacancy, but his focus will be on Tuesday and the Bairns, 1-0 winners when these two met on December 20, look a good bet to succeed at Almondvale.

Barney Stewart anytime scorer @ 7/5
Barney Stewart enjoyed a productive first half of the season on loan at Dunfermline in the second tier with six goals in 11 league games before returning to Falkirk.
The 24-year-old hit a hat-trick in last month’s 4-1 win over Hibs and looked sharp without scoring in the defeat to Celtic, recording a shot on target and three attempts in total. He stands out as a potential anytime scorer.
