Saint Johnstone 3 Ross County 1 Steven Milne scored twice as St Johnstone ran out well-deserved winners over Ross County at McDiarmid Park. Milne had all the time in the world to pick his spot and shoot past Craig Samson when County failed to clear a corner after much Saints domination. He hammered a low shot home two minutes later, but the unmarked Kevin McKinlay headed in for County after the break. Saints missed several chances before Paul Sheerin restored the advantage after Samson blocked a Milne effort. |
