Dundee Utd Rallies to Defeat Saint Mirren in Premiership Opener
DUNDEE, Scotland (March 3, 2026) (Interstat) — Dundee United opened its Scottish Premiership campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Saint Mirren on Tuesday at CalForth Construction Arena at Tannadice Park.
Saint Mirren substitute Marcus Fraser opened the scoring in the eighth minute. Dundee United responded after halftime, with midfielder Amar Ahmed assisting substitute Jake Young’s 47th-minute equalizer before scoring the decisive goal himself later in the half. Ahmed also received a yellow card, as did Saint Mirren’s Emmanuel Agyei and substitute Miguel Freckleton.
The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which had forecast a 3-2 win for Saint Mirren. Dundee United improved to 1-0-0 in league play, while Saint Mirren fell to 0-1-0.
