Having won their opening game of the season against Hibernian last week it was St Mirren’s first home game of the new season and St Mirren knew that a win\u00a0would see them go top of the league. The Saints started the game at a fast pace and it was no surprise that they went in front, courtesy of an own goal from ex Saint Joe Shaughnessy in the 7th minute.<\/p>\n

They then went on to hit the crossbar before conceding a penalty which Saints new keeper Hemming saved. Then in the 49th minute Mikael Mandron headed home Saints second goal to put them 2 – 0 in front at half time.<\/p>\n

The second half saw an improved Dundee team put Saints under pressure and in the 63rd minute Mulligan got a goal back for Dundee and take the score to 2 -1, Dundee were the dominant\u00a0 team but couldn’t score that second goal, while Saints continued to look dangerous on the break.<\/p>\n
