St Mirren secured their second cinch Premiership win in a row with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Dundee United at Tannadice. Goals either side of half-time by Buddies front man Curtis Main and a late third from sub Alex Grieve were enough to take all three points back to Paisley.
For United and boss Jack Ross it was their fourth defeat in a row – conceding 15 goals in the process – and worryingly for the Tangerines they face Celtic next Sunday.
St Mirren had a great chance to take the lead inside the first minute but Jonah Ayunga headed just wide of United keeper Carljohan Eriksson’s post.
The Buddies’ Keanu Baccus then struck a thunderous volley from the edge of the United box which home skipper Ryan Edwards bravely headed away for a corner although the defender was knocked over by the fierceness of the shot.
