That deep free-kick is dealt with by the hosts, as is a long throw from Alex Gogic which follows.

Superb defending from Alex Gogic, who tracks Yan Dhanda all the way before giving away a corner.

It's been end-to-end.

I hope it continues like this. You can't even get the words in.

Stephen Robinson ain't happy.

Victory over a beleaguered Livingston side on Saturday marked a return to winning ways for a Buddies side who have been uncharacteristically off the boil in recent times.

Despite the recent blip, Saints still found themselves sitting in the lofty heights of third place in the table prior to kick-off. David Martindale’s men set about trying to catch St Mirren out with a shelled approach which rendered the typically troublesome Joel Nouble irrelevant for large spells of the game.

St Mirren, while hardly laying on a treat for the frozen home crowd, managed to cope with pretty much everything an increasingly despondent West Lothian outfit flung at them.

In a game even the most enthusiastic of Sportscene editors would struggle to glean many highlights from, Caolan Boyd-Munce’s delectable reverse pass into Greg Kiltie which set up the only goal of the game was a thing of sheer beauty. Our joint-third top scorer 'Own Goal' bundled it over the line to earn all three points and keep the chasing pack at bay.

Stephen Robinson will surely look to the depths of his squad for an upcoming run of nine league games between now and the start of the winter break. Much like anyone looking to put their Christmas trees up in November, any talk of passports coming out should remain firmly in the cupboard for now.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound: "We can't look too far ahead, we've got to concentrate on a very tough game.

"It's important to play our game. We come here with a lot of confidence. We'll be prepared with whatever they throw at us."

Robinson confirms Richard Taylor is an "enforced change" after suffering an injury.

Ross County manager Derek Adams tells BBC Sportsound: "We're looking forward to this, we got a good point on Saturday.

"But tonight we're going all out for the three points. We have to close the gap between ourselves and St Mirren.

"They've had a very good start, but for us it's about looking at them and trying to get the better of them."

Derek Adams’ third spell as Ross County manager is well and truly under way.

There was a sense of anticipation in the air as Adams returned to the Dingwall dugout for the first time in over nine years against Kilmarnock. County fans were eager to see the return of arguably the greatest manager in the club’s history and how he’d stamp his authority on the existing squad.

Adams spoke about wanting his team to play on the front foot and get forward to create chances. It took County less than 30 seconds to carve out the first opportunity of the match when Yan Dhanda dragged his shot wide of the far post, but the attacking intentions were clear to see from the get-go.

County looked to play through the lines and get the ball forward quickly at every opportunity. Dhanda and Josh Sims’ ability to carry the ball into dangerous areas caused the away side a lot of problems in the first half.

At the other end, The Staggies looked very comfortable defensively. The three centre-halves of Ryan Leak, Jack Baldwin and Will Nightingale were in total control at the back, and Ross Laidlaw was only forced into action once when he made an excellent save from Danny Armstrong's deflected effort.

In the second half, both sides struggled to get control of the match and it turned into a bit of a battle. Both sides made changes to try and win the match, but both had to settle for a point each.

Adams will be pleased with elements of his side's performance considering he’s only had one week to work with the players. He’ll be keen to see continued improvement from his squad, starting with the match against St Mirren on Tuesday night.

A first win in 11 games would lift County from 10th to eighth.

St Mirren will end the night in third regardless of the result, but three points would solidify that position.

Keanu Baccus returns to the St Mirren midfield tonight following suspension.

Defender Charles Dunne and striker Alex Greive also come into the XI, with Richard Taylor, Caolan Boyd-Munce and Jonah Ayunga all making way from the side that started Saturday's win over Livingston.

Forward Toyosi Olusanya returns to the bench having missed the weekend action.

St Mirren XI: Hemming, Fraser, Gogic, Dunne, McMenamin, Baccus, O'Hara, Kiltie, Tanser, Mandron, Greive.

Substitutes: Urminsky, Bolton, Small, Flynn, Boyd-Munce, Olusanya, Jamieson, Nahmani, Ayunga.
