Saint Johnstone 2 Ross County 1 St Johnstone moved four points clear at the top of Division One with a workmanlike victory over Ross County that should have been more comfortable. Martin Hardie had already squandered a chance, as had Steven Milne, before heading home Liam Craig's corner in first-half injury time. Substitute Collin Samuel met a superb Paul Sheerin cross to increase the lead after 81 minutes. Mark McCulloch got on the end of a ball palmed away by Alan Main to reply. |
