Inside fortress St Mirren as Dundee United become latest victims of the Buddie System

St Mirren made it six games unbeaten at home with a 2-1 victory over Dundee United on Saturday thanks to goals from Curtis Main and Alex Greive. The result puts Stephen Robinson's men into fourth in the Scottish Premiership.

Steven Fletcher equalised for the visitors in between but Liam Fox’s men couldn’t take anything from the game as they endured back to back defeats. United started the better of the two sides and almost took the lead after just two minutes, it would have been an own goal too, with Richard Tait almost diverting the ball beyond his goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

A spell where the home side was on top followed when former Motherwell defender Charles Dunne hit the bar from a corner kick, after a deflected Jonah Ayunga strike. Then there was moment were Carson was in no man’s land seven minutes before the break but Tony Watt couldn’t convert the golden chance.
