On Tuesday night, the bottom of the league Dundee and St Mirren will play a game in hand for both teams in the relegation battle. The winner of the game could be crucial in the fight against relegation with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Dundee will be desperate to use this game in hand to their advantage on Tuesday night, as they currently sit a point behind St Johnstone.
A victory against the reigning champions would give them hope of staying up and put pressure on Aberdeen and St Mirren, who have looked over their shoulders of late. However, the club has failed to win in four matches, so they need to improve upon their recent form quickly.
On Tuesday, St Mirren host Ross County. The Buddies have not won in their previous four matches against the Highlanders, although there have been many draws during that time—something for Steve Robinson’s men to build on.
The current league leaders beat the Saints 1-0, getting the winning goal from a Joseph Hungbo penalty. In doing so, they replaced County in second place.
However, St Mirren will know that they failed to beat Dundee on their last two meetings: the two teams drew 2-2 on the season’s opening day, and then Dundee won 1-0.
