    Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren

    St Mirren winger Kyle McAllister nutmegs three United players in a row and it takes him deep into the United penalty box.

    But, typical of the game, it comes to nothing as he loses possession.

    The game's just fizzling out. St Mirren don't want to take too much risk and leave themselves open to the counter-attack

    It's getting very scrappy out there as the nerves begin to show on the faces of the players as well as the fans.

    Still no substitutions from St Mirren boss Oran Kearney.

    I think 0-0 would suit United, I really do. Going down to Paisley with a big St Mirren support putting the expectations on the Premiership side. And St Mirren will have to go and try to win it. They'll have no fears at all going down there

    As we head into the final 15 minutes, the game is a stop-start affair peppered with needless and niggly fouls.

  10. Booth on for Pawlettpublished at 71mins

    Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren

    United head coach Robbie Neilson makes his third and final change.

    On comes Callum Booth for Peter Pawlett. A defender for a forward, which suggests a change in formation.

    It's United centre-half Mark Connolly who is left reeling, a challenge from Cody Cooke as they go for a high ball and the Irishman has a bloody nose to contend with thanks to the striker's elbow.

    Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren

    St Mirren centre-half Gary MacKenzie is just back from a head knock that forced him to miss the weekend game against Hamilton and he is in the wars again.

    The visitors are peppering the United penalty box with crosses and MacKenzie is left writhing on the ground as goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist punches clear.

    The big Buddie survives to carry on this time.

  13. Stanton for Clarkpublished at 67mins

    Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren

    A surprise change for United, with former Hibernian midfielder Sam Stanton being brought on in place of striker Nicky Clark.

    We're almost half way through the second half and it has been flying. It has been great from both sides. Both clubs deserve all the credit

    St Mirren break to the other end and Paul McGinn surely only has to roll the ball into the path of Cody Cooke to hand the striker the opening goal.

    However, the right-back hits the first defender with his low cross.

    Vaclav Hladky is been impressive in goal for St Mirren but makes a mess of a corner and he is thankful to Ryan Flynn as the midfielder whacks the ball off the line from Nicky Clark's header.

    The biggest key to this game so far is people with pace and McMullan is so effective. St Mirren haven't had anyone yet going with that pace and purpose at the Dundee United back-line

  18. Safranko for Sowpublished at 57mins

    Dundee United 0-0 St Mirren

    The first substitution of the night comes from United.

    Former Hearts striker Osman Sow has been disappointing and there is a big cheer from the home fans as he is hauled off, with Pavol Safranko, on loan from Aalborg, is his replacement.

    Paul McMullan, not for the first time, tricks his way past Lee Hodson, but there are no takers for the winger's low cross that travels all the way along St Mirren's six-yard box.

    St Mirren are the ones on the front foot at the moment, forcing a couple of corners.

    But United manage to clear and Paul McGinn is fortunate to escape a yellow card for blocking Peter Pawlett as he tries to race on to a clearance into the visitors' half.
