Make that 1 win in 10 games for United, who are simply not good enough at stopping goals
But for a upturn in the festive period/into January, a campaign of bottom 6 and the dangers therein, could be on the cards

Dundee United's side to face St Mirren as Jim Goodwin goes back to 3-5-2. Ross Graham, Craig Sibbald and Ryan Strain back in.
Pan Camara and Max Watters miss out altogether.
Amar Fatah very unfortunate but only misses out due to shape change; expect to see him as afternoon goes on.

A really watchable half, played at a great tempo with chances at both ends. What a player Amar Fatah would be if he consistently had that final pass/shot. Rangers' set-pieces deliveries very good.
All to play for.
