Paisley Saints Down 10 Men Dundee...

St Mirren 3 Dundee 1, St Mirren Park, Premier Division, 24-Nov-12

The basement battle went the way of the home side when they beat Dundee 3-1, by reports Dundee took time to settle and were starting to take control of the game when Colin Nish got sent off for a reckless high tackle which left the Ref with no choice to give the striker a straight red card. This put Dundee on the back foot and Thompson put the Paisley Saints 1-0 up four minutes later. In the second half Dundee battled well and got their reward when Goodwin handled a Milne cross and Ryan Conroy scored from the spot to level the game. But with 19 minutes to go Thompson scored with a fine header. In the final minute Imrie made it 3-1 when he shot past Rab Douglas via a deflection off Conroy.

Dundee: Douglas, Irvine, Benedictus, Gallagher, Conroy, Riley (Boyle (89), McBride, Davidson, McAlister, Nish, Milne ( J.Baird (78). Subs Not Used: A.Baird, McGregor, Toshney, Webster.

From the highlights l seen Rab Douglas pulled off 3 great saves and it looked like the team battled well for the 90 minutes so we can take a lot of positives from this.
