Boss Brewster buoyant at away win

Brewster has had a difficult start to his Dundee United managerial career

Craig Brewster was delighted after Dundee United secured their first league win of the season, winning 3-1 against St Mirren at Love Street.

Captain Barry Robson hit a double before being sent off, as the Tangerines claimed the points in their first away victory in 17 outings.

Boss Brewster said: "I thought the players were excellent today - we controlled most of the game to win.

"It's great to finally get this win and the team is now high on confidence."

United had drawn three SPL games in succession, and surprised St Mirren - who have made a bright start to the campaign - with a powerful performance.

"Our movement was terrific and I am very pleased with our showing aganst a team who went into the game confident themselves.

"The only sour point for us was Barry Robson's ordering off, which I thought was bit harsh," he added.

"Now he's going to miss a vital game against Hibs."
