Ross County will be looking to banish the memories of last weekend’s disappointment as they head to Paisley to take on Tommy Craig’s St Mirren.
County had been showing signs of improvement under new boss Jim McIntyre before they were blown away by Celtic in a 5-0 hammering last Saturday, however, McIntyre will be hoping to see his team return to the kind of form which saw them picking up all three points against Dundee and another point against Caley Thistle.
