It's Scottish Cup action for St Mirren this weekend as we play host to cinch Championship side Dundee in the Fourth Round.
The Buddies have reached the Quarter-Final and Semi-Final of the competition over the last two seasons. Last season, Saints defeated Ayr United and Kelty Hearts in the Fourth and Fifth Rounds before bowing out of the cup after a 4-2 loss to Hearts at Tynecastle in the last eight.
Saints go into Saturday's match following a 4-0 loss to Celtic at Celtic Park in the cinch Premiership.
Dundee reached the Fourth Round of the Scottish Cup with a 6-2 win over Airdrieonians at the Kilmac Stadium after extra-time in November. The Dark Blues also reached the Quarter-Final of the competition last season - exiting with a 3-0 defeat to Rangers at home.
Gary Bowyer's side haven't been in action since a 1-1 draw away to Raith Rovers on 6th January. The Dee were due to face Partick Thistle in league action and Dunfermline Athletic in the SPFL Trust trophy. But poor weather conditions, leading to an unplayable surface at the Kilmac Stadium, saw both matches postponed.
Dundee currently in third place in the cinch Championship - five points adrift of league leaders Queen's Park.
