Match Details

Dundee United v St Mirren
Competition: Premier Sports Cup
Date: Sunday 18th August 2024
Kick-off: 2pm
Venue: Tannadice Park

The Opposition 

This will be Saints' first meeting with United since a 1-1 draw at Tannadice in March 2023. Mark O'Hara's second-half penalty earned the Buddies a point in the William Hill Premiership.

Dundee United reached the round of 16 as one of the best group stages runners up. The Arabs finished second in Group B behind Championship side Falkirk. Jim Goodwin's side lost 2-0 to the Bairns in their opening match, but bounced back with wins over Stenhousemuir (3-0), Ayr United (2-1) and Buckie Thistle (5-2). 

United's return to the William Hill Premiership has saw them draw their opening two league fixtures. An opening day Dundee derby finished 2-2 at Tannadice, while they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Ross County last Saturday.

From the Manager // "We have to go with positivity" 

"We'll put out the fittest team available after a few knocks and injuries picked up during the game so we'll need to see how they react in training or once they've been assessed by the physio. 

"It's a good game to come back to. It's a good chance to get the quarter-finals and get closer to Hampden. 

"I watched their [Dundee United's] game against Dundee and Jim [Goodwin] has got them playing well. It'll be a hard game and we'll have to go there with a real positivity."
