Ross County 1-2 St Mirren: Analysis

Must read

Only the top three sides in the league had on their travels to the Global Energy Stadium before this.

It’s never an easy trip, let alone with the wind blowing a hoolie and the rain coming down in stair rods. But St Mirren came out on top in the brutal conditions.

They probably just about edged it. They tried to keep the ball on the deck in the first half with the wind in their face, and kept County pinned back for large spells of the second half.

This was all after being let down by Tanser. The left-back flew into a challenge while on a yellow, and that was after a few niggly tackles which also might have tempted Snedden to send him off.

They also came through a few injury complaints. Ellery Balcombe and Richard Taylor were doubts, Tanser was only called into the starting XI on Saturday morning, and Conor McMenamin – their best player in the last few weeks – missed out.

When most teams would wilt, St Mirren stood tall and with three wins in their last five, they’re putting some daylight between themselves and the teams below.
