St Mirren took a huge step towards securing a European place for the first time in 37 years as they romped to a 3-1 away win over nearest challengers Dundee.
Dundee made two changes to the side that lost 2-1 at home to Celtic as Aaron Donnelly and Lyall Cameron replaced Malachi Boateng and Josh Mulligan, while there was one alteration for the Buddies as Olusanya took over from Greg Kiltie in attack. Dundee got forward with purpose for the first time when Lyall Cameron and Luke McCowan combined superbly to create an opening for the latter inside the box, but he was unable to get a clean connection on his shot and it ran harmlessly wide.
Dundee boss Tony Docherty responded to a poor first-half display from his side by replacing midfielder Mo Sylla with Boateng at the break and the Dark Blues made an encouraging start to the second period, with Cameron’s firm shot from 20 yards out well held by Hemming. Mellon reduced Dundee’s arrears four minutes later when he nodded in from two yards, sparking a spell of late pressure from the hosts, but Saints stood firm to claim a huge victory in their pursuit of Europe.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
