- 0' KICK OFF: St. Mirren FC gets underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 251 games and scored 244 goals.

- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. St. Mirren FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' 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 Bozo Mikulic suffering a number of foals already.
