Key talking points as St Mirren put on five-star show to blow away Dundee United

dailyrecord.co.uk:

St Mirren have a man with ice running in his veins when it comes to penalty kicks. The Irishman bagged his fourth and fifth strikes from the spot this season on Wednesday night, holding his nerve to put the Buddies into an unassailable three-goal lead by the break.Beating the keeper once from that range is never easy, but doing it twice in the same game is even harder.There’s always that moment of doubt as to whether to go the same way or switch it up, from both the taker and the goalkeeper.Thankfully, for the Buddies, the quality of McGrath’s second strike meant the net was always going to be bulging.

Gaffer Jim Goodwin spoke in the aftermath of the game about the importance of having reliable set piece takers. In McGrath, the Paisley club.
