Dundee 4-0 St Mirren: Analysis

Tyrone Smith, BBC Sport Scotland

This afternoon’s win for Dundee, moves them to within two points of a St Mirren side who have rightly been getting plenty of plaudits for the start they have made to the season.

Before the match, Tony Docherty said this game would be a good barometer for where his side are at just now – well it has showed, or confirmed rather, that his team are in a very good place.

Docherty has put together a new look squad – a lot of players left in the summer, a lot arrived - and he deserves huge praise for being able to knit them together so quickly, and get them producing the kind of football which would appear to point to the Dark Blues going on and enjoying a really successful return to the Premiership.
