Simon Murray’s impressive performance led Dundee to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over St Mirren at the SMiSA Stadium. In blustery conditions, Murray scored two crucial headers to secure the win for his team.
Murray opened the scoring for Dundee after half an hour, heading home Josh Mulligan’s chipped cross to give the visitors the lead. St Mirren fought back with Toyosi Olusanya expertly guiding Elvis Bwomono’s accurate center into the bottom corner to equalize just 10 minutes later.
However, Murray was not done yet. He found the back of the net again shortly after the hour mark, heading in Ryan Astley’s hooked cross off the crossbar to seal the victory for Dundee. This win was much-needed for Dundee after a run of three straight defeats.
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson made only one change from the side that defeated Rangers on Boxing Day, while Dundee boss Tony Docherty opted for two changes from their previous defeat by Ross County. The match saw some intense moments, with both teams creating opportunities to score.
Despite St Mirren’s efforts to equalize, Dundee held on to their lead and secured the three points. Murray’s exceptional performance was the highlight of the match, showcasing his skill and determination on the field.
Overall, Dundee’s victory was a testament to their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks. The team’s solid defense and Murray’s clinical finishing were key factors in securing the win. Dundee fans can celebrate a well-deserved victory as they look ahead to their upcoming matches.
