St Mirren will be in good spirits after making progress in Conference League qualifying with an emphatic 4-1 win over Valur on Thursday.

The Buddies will need to keep something in the tank for their next European mission against Brann, which will be a big step up.

After waiting 37 years to play in continental competition, they will want to hang about for as long as possible, but they can't take their eye off the ball on the home front.

Stephen Robinson limits himself to two changes as Scott Tanser and Caolan Boyd-Munce come in, with Jaden Brown dropping to the bench and Mark O'Hara missing out completely.

The United fans are in high spirits as the teams troop off. It's been a lively game and the home side are on top.

There's been a lot to admire but the highlight so far is the cross from Vicko Sevelj for Miller Thomson to make it 2-1.

Jon McCracken has to look lively to hold on to a shot from Kristijan Trapanoski as Dundee United finish the half strongly.

That would've been sublime. He's just trying to dink the goalkeeper but gets too much on it.

Had that ended up in the back of the net, it would have been special.

United playmaker David Babunski goes for a cute lob from 20 yards but the ball ripples against the top of the net.

Great idea, just a shade too much on it.

Miller Thomson is not looking like a youngster, he's playing with lots of confidence.

He has real good pace and he's direct when up against a dark blue jersey. He really is a handful going down that right side.

Ziyad Larkeche is shouting for a penalty but his shot inside a busy United penalty area thunders against the stomach of a defender in tangerine.

That was a good save from the goalkeeper.

Dundee United really are taking advantage of any Dundee slip-up. Dundee are struggling with the pace of the transition.

Miller Thomson has got a taste for goals now as his raking shot draws a good sprawling save from Jon McCracken.

Big chance. Babunski has got to show more composure and hit the target. That's a couple of opportunities he's had and wasted.

David Babunski is just falling back a bit as he gets a shot away from near the edge of the penalty area.

Jon McCracken is left flat-footed and the goalkeeper is mightily relieved to see the ball go just past the post.

United are happy with the shape now they have the lead. They are going back into their back five.

I wouldn't say it's a high press but once Dundee advance into their half, that's when they press.

After yesterday's false start, the last 10 or 15 minutes have been superb.

The ball in from Sevelj is absolutely magnificent and fair play to young Miller Thomson, a moment he'll never forget.

This is brilliant, what a game!

We really are being treated, aren't we? Three goals in quick succession!

He keeps his concentration and slots it into back of the net. United again taking the upper hand.

It just fell perfectly for him. Really good work from McCowan initially, Murray had a bit of a hand in it as well. Great response from the away side to get back on level terms!

Quite a delay in the restart but it's nothing to do with VAR, it's because the air is thick with orange smoke from flares in the home ends.

Cool, calm and with a fair bit of accuracy. Van der Sande sets it up perfectly for Trapanovski. He does everything right and drives it into the far corner.
