Team News

St. Mirren
Dundee FC
  • St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson named three changes to the Saints team that left it late to beat Ross County 2-1 in Dingwall, before another late victory over Rangers in Paisley by the same scoreline on Boxing Day.
  • Ellery Balcombe continued in goal behind Richard Taylor, Alex Gogic - who came back in for Alex Iacovitti - and Marcus Fraser in the Buddies' backline. Elvis Bwomono and Declan John, in for the suspended Scott Tanser, started at right and left wing-back respectively.
  • Oisin Smyth, the hero in the Highlands, accompanied Killian Phillips in midfield. Roland Idowu joined Greg Kiltie in support of lone striker Toyosi Olusanya, who replaced Mikael Mandron to lead the line for the Buddies last time out.
  • Dundee manager Tony Docherty made two changes from the Dee team that lost 2-0 to Hearts at Tynecastle, before they lost by a sole goal to Rangers at Ibrox upon their return to action in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.
  • Trevor Carson continued in goal behind an unchanged back three of Billy Koumetio, Antonio Portales and Ryan Astley. Jordan McGhee and Josh Mulligan were chosen at right wing-back and left wing-back respectively.
  • Mo Sylla, Lyall Cameron and Scott Tiffoney started in the middle of the park. Finlay Robertson and Seb Palmer-Houlden dropped out for a new strike partnership, as Simon Murray and Oluwaseun Adewumi started up front for the Dee.

Prediction

  • Both St Mirren and Dundee were in the top six of the Scottish Premiership last season, with the fifth-placed Buddies aiming for back-to-back top-half finishes but the Dee languishing behind in ninth.
  • The Buddies continue to bounce their way up the Scottish Premiership, as three wins on the spin has seen them ascend up to fifth place in the league table. Their Boxing Day victory had been a long time coming, with Saints losing 23 of their previous 25 meetings with Rangers since victory in December 2011. Three league wins on the spin could easily become four on the trot this weekend.
  • Dundee have lost three consecutive Scottish Premiership matches as their miserable Boxing Day record continued. The Dee's last top tier victory on the 26th December came back in 2000, a 3-0 win against Motherwell at Fir Park, and they've now lost seven of eight since. They've won just one of their last nine league games against Ross County at Dens and are seeking a response on Sunday.
  • St Mirren have won three league games on the spin and Dundee have lost four league matches on the trot, so both streaks should extend to four to round off 2024 for these two teams.
