Dundee United team versus St Mirren Preview
Team News
United go into their first game of the season looking to continue their winning form from last season. United are without suspended Swanson but Scotland pair, Robertson & Kenneth have shrugged of their knocks to be ready for the squad. BBC also reporting than Sandaza is back from injury but the best Fran can hope for is a seat on the bench. The only injury is long term crock Kovacevic so Houston has a good squad to choose from.

Score Prediction
St Mirren 1 Dundee United 2
With a new manager at the helms, it's hard to know how the Buddies will preform but if United play to their strengths they should win. The only concern is playing a midfield with Gomis, Bauben & Robertson all included but with Swanson suspended, Gomis playing right midfield seems the obvious and easiest option for Houston to take.
