St Mirren kept themselves in the hunt for fourth place with a comfortable win over below-par Dundee in the Scottish Premiership top six.

Alex Gogic put the visitors ahead at Dens Park, before second-half strikes from Scott Tanser and Toyosi Olusanya.

Michael Mellon did get one back for Dundee late on, but it was a disappointing display from Tony Docherty’s side, who have picked up plenty of plaudits so far this season.

St Mirren, meanwhile, go five points clear of sixth-placed Dundee and six behind Kilmarnock, who visit Rangers on Sunday.

A fifth-placed finish would see St Mirren go into the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.
