They did work the ball into the box on 23 minutes, Baccus firing in a strong shot that was blocked behind by Liam Scales. In the same spell of home possession, another Gallagher throw was punched clear by Kelle Roos but straight to Erhahon, who put his shot wide of goal. Erhahon went onto the book on the half hour for a foul on Duk and plenty of dissent in the aftermath. Duk required lengthy treatment, hobbling heavily as he finally carried on.
For St Mirren’s return to competitive football, having last played on November 12th, drawing 1-1 at home to Rangers, they made one change to the side, Greg Kiltie replaced by Keanu Baccus. It was a sprightly return from the Buddies, winning a couple of corners in the first two minutes but they came to nothing, the game the settling into an early stalemate. A third corner followed in the seventh minute after Leighton Clarkson lost possession, but again it was a ball hoisted high to the back post that caused no problems.
