Dundee made three changes from last week. Imari Samuels and Callum Jones switched to the bench and were replaced by Brad Halliday, for his debut, and Joel Cotterill who started for the first time. The third change was Simon Murray returning in the place of injured Ash Hay.
Dundee started well enough in the first tens minutes and were knocking the ball about well enough. But as the half grew on St Mirren looked more likely to score on the break.
Dundee's best chance fell to Congreve at the back post , after the saints keeper dropped the ball. Butt Cameron put the ball wide.
St Mirren should have scored on a break away the ball put to the back post but their no 5 some how missed the goal.
Both team played out the half mainly in a midfield battle, with very few action in the box.
Second half and the action did pick up after the restart, and it was St Mirren who started with more urgency. The first 10 minutes were spent in the Dee half. The Buddies created pressure, but no chances with the Dark Blue defence holding firm.
Congreve did well twice and put low crosses into the box but both were put out for corners. St Mirren were reduced to 10 men after Jake Young got sent off which looked a bad foul.
Dundee had afew attacks after this but failed to make the saints keeper with any saves to make.
Charlie Reilly and Joe Bevan came on for Tony Yogane and Cameron Congreve with 20 minutes to play and then Callum Jones replaced Joel Cotterill.
St Mirren had a couple of attacks near the end but Jon McCracken was not tested and made a couple of easy saves.
The game came to an end and a draw was fair due to both teams unable to score. At least the gag between the sides stays the same. Livingston got beat by Motherwell, who visit Dens Park on Wednesday,
