  • 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His St. Mirren FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 32' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Laurentiu Branescu suffering a number of foals already.

  • 74' Alex Bruce is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
  • 75' Kyle Magennis picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
